Yikes, I'd hate to be in Sydney Sweeney's [1] position breaking the news about Euphoria [2] to her family! The actor appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show [3] on 19 Jan. to discuss her role as Cassie on the HBO series and ended up sharing a story about the time she forgot to tell her dad what exactly Euphoria was about.
"See, the problem was I completely forgot to tell my dad I was doing Euphoria, and he sat down with my grandparents to watch [it]," she reveals in her interview. Her dad's first introduction to the show only lasted about five minutes before she got *that* phone call from him. "What is this?!" he asked Sweeney, to which she finally realised she forgot to give him a proper warning about the graphic show. "I go, oh my god, I completely forgot to tell him. That's not the show you sit down [to watch] with Nana." Oof, talk about awkward!
If only Euphoria wasn't so hardcore, maybe Sweeney could've enjoyed watching the show with her family. But alas, her character has a lot of NSFW scenes this season, and at the rate the show is going, she probably has a lot more ahead. Between the nude scenes she shoots [5] and the very adult nature of the series [6] in general, it's kind of hard to gush about Euphoria when it's not a family-friendly show to begin with. Watch the rest of Sweeney's interview on The Drew Barrymore Show above.
