Sydney Sweeney refused to let "Euphoria" cut out nude scenes in Season 3.
“Well, it’s funny. When I first wrote it, I was like, ‘Maybe we shoot all of this and we don’t have any nudity. Maybe there’s ways to shoot around certain things?' And [Sydney] looked at me and she was like, ‘Are you kidding? I’m playing an OnlyFans model. You’re telling me you’re going to, like, skirt around it?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, OK, that’s a fair point,'” says creator Sam Levinson.
Levinson also confronted “complaints that there’s nudity when there doesn’t need to be” in the first two seasons of “Euphoria,” saying: “From the script, you get a sense of what the role requires,” he said. “Even when you go up to audition, let’s use the role of Cassie, you know the role requires a certain amount of nudity. Are you comfortable? If they’re comfortable, they get the role, then the next layer is the intimacy coordinator. I think it’s a SAG rule that if an actor then says, after getting cast, ‘Actually, I don’t want to do that,’ we can’t force them to do a scene.” (via New York Times)
