Euphoria is a tough but amazing watch - and the filming experience for the actors behind the scenes was pretty similar! Whether it was rough emotional scenes that needed to be done, improvised scenes with no hold barred, or complex technical challenges - this team faced it all and they pulled off some amazing feats.
The Carnival scene is one that threw many of the Euphoria fam through the wringer. It looks like one continuous shot, but the trick is - the whole sequence was filmed over six days! This made for long days for the actors who also happened to have to deal with not-so-great weather conditions. One actor actually wound up needing an inhaler just to get through!
Improvising intense scenes means intense emotions might totally overtake an actor! One of the most powerful scenes in the whole series was made up on the spot and really shook everyone involved. Even director Sam Levinson had to walk away and take a breather before continuing with work. Does anyone remember watching Sydney Sweeney in the bathroom? Her moving performance sold the scene, but she wasn’t doing much acting - the actress was really shaken by the end of it.
Jacob Elordi is tough as nails on the show, but in reality, he believes his character is just struggling a lot - and he absolutely is! Elordi is far from the mean character he portrays, which makes being cruel to his co-stars extra tough, really taking a toll on the performer. As for the fights he takes part in? Well, let’s just say duking it out with Few was far from comfortable.
No matter what they had to overcome or how hard it may have been to film some of these moments, in the end, pretty well everyone agrees it was all worth it to tell the story. They’ve got us hooked!
