![]() ![]() So we were stuck there, but it was a beautiful kind of stuck, amazing kind of stuck. No, we weren’t allowed to leave the resort and no one was allowed to come onto the resort. That sounds like a scary good time… I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not? It felt like a tropical version of The Shining. But it’s always nice being able to be surrounded by your friends on set, especially with a show like Euphoria.īoth shows were filmed during the pandemic, but how was shooting The White Lotus in Hawaii during that time? So it never really truly felt lonely by any means. It’s definitely not lonely because we all still get ready in the morning together and we all hang out in our trailers. But Cassie has become a second skin to me that it’s been very easy to just go into it, and know where she is, and where her mindset is at.Ĭassie was always spending time with her girls Maddie and Lexi in Season 1, but she was more isolated from them in Season 2. I think it’s easy because I know the character so well at this point and I do a lot of preparation before we start filming on day one, making sure that I know what day is filming what scene, and I’m mapping everything out and keeping track of the rollercoaster. You recently revealed that some sequences from Euphoria‘s second season were filmed out of order. And so when they call “action,” I just become Cassie, and then when they call “cut,” I’m Sydney. I built my characters so thoroughly and made them their own person that I’m able to jump in and out of who they are, how they think, how they would move, and how they would react. Is there any special ritual you have before filming these intense scenes? ![]() So I think I’m more used to working with filmmakers than The Handmaid’s Tale, where we had different directors come in for different episodes.Ĭassie really hits rock bottom on Euphoria‘s second season. I had that on Sharp Objects with Jean-Marc Vallée and I had that on Everything Sucks! with Michael Mohan. Was working on The White Lotus with Mike White at the helm easier because of your experience of working with Sam Levinson on Euphoria? Both shows are very much the products of their showrunners. Is it different? Is it a challenge from other characters that I’ve previously played? That’s the fun part of being an actor. That’s mainly what I look for in characters. Is that something you look for when taking on new projects? She’s definitely quite different from Cassie Howard. So I wanted to challenge myself and I always wanted to do something that people wouldn’t expect me to do next. I’d always been a little scared of comedy because I wasn’t sure if I was funny or not. And also I loved that it was a dramedy, with subtle comedy within it. Sydney Sweeney: I think that I was really excited and challenged by who Olivia was as a character. ![]() ![]() What drew you to the character of Olivia? Sorry about this being so long i just think that all the attacks against cassie fail to take into account her current state of mind and act as if this is any old 17/18 year old being bitchy to their friend over a guy.After a breakout first season on Euphoria, you stepped into a very series last summer with The White Lotus. rue also mentions her issues with depression (a common reaction to losing a child) and when in that state it’s hard to use critical thinking skills and all she really wants for the moment is love, and to her, it appears that, that is what nate is giving her. Lastly, cassie has recently undergone an abortion, one of the most traumatising procedures for a young woman, and is very out of touch with herself. nate is a master manipulator who is using cassie’s vulnerability to get when he wants, while we don’t know exactly what he wants yet (whether he’s doing it to get to maddy or not), it is cruel to assume this this is all cassie’s doing and not just a reaction to his manipulation. although most people argue that it DOESNT make people like her, in her mind it’s the only thing that interests men and she will do anything to hold their attention.Īnd when it comes to nate/maddy, yes it is upsetting that she would sleep with someone who treated her best friend so terribly, but it’s not that simple. since she is seen as a sex object rather than a human, she feeds into this as it appears to be the only reason someone would like her. Rue introduced her with the words “she fell in love with every guy she ever dated”: cassie strongly seeks male validation because of her absent father. as someone who finds comfort in her character and relates a little too much to her storyline, i need to defend her. I know everyone will disagree because i’ve seen SO MUCH hate for her character recently, but i genuinely can’t stand the amount of backlash she’s copping. ![]()
