Sydney Sweeney, the dazzling talent behind Cassie Howard on HBOâs provocative series Euphoria, recently shared a hilariously awkward family moment thatâs as entertaining as the show itself.
In a candid 2023 interview on NBCâs Sunday Today, Sweeney opened up about how her father and grandfather reacted when they decided to watch her in Euphoriaâwithout any warning about its mature content. Known for its raw and unfiltered portrayal of teenage life, the series delves deep into themes of nud*ty, sexuality, and substance abuse.
âMy dad and my grandpa turned it off and walked outâ
âMy mom visited me on set quite a few times, so she knew the story,â Sweeney explained. âBut my dad? I didnât prepare him at all. He decided he was going to watch it without telling meâand with his parents, my grandparents!â
As the explicit scenes unfolded, things took an unexpected turn. âMy dad and my grandpa turned it off and walked out,â she recalled with a laugh. âThey had no idea what they were getting into!â
But while the men made a swift exit, Sweeneyâs grandmother proved to be her unwavering supporter. âMy grandma is a big fan,â she said proudly. âShe sat through the entire thing. Sheâs a trooper!â
