Sydney Sweeney, the dazzling talent behind Cassie Howard on HBO’s provocative series Euphoria, recently shared a hilariously awkward family moment that’s as entertaining as the show itself.
In a candid 2023 interview on NBC’s Sunday Today, Sweeney opened up about how her father and grandfather reacted when they decided to watch her in Euphoria—without 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.
“My dad and my grandpa turned it off and walked out”
“My mom visited me on set quite a few times, so she knew the story,” Sweeney explained. “But my dad? I didn’t prepare him at all. He decided he was going to watch it without telling me—and with his parents, my grandparents!”
As the explicit scenes unfolded, things took an unexpected turn. “My dad and my grandpa turned it off and walked out,” she recalled with a laugh. “They had no idea what they were getting into!”
But while the men made a swift exit, Sweeney’s grandmother proved to be her unwavering supporter. “My grandma is a big fan,” she said proudly. “She sat through the entire thing. She’s a trooper!”

Her grandmother’s enthusiasm doesn’t stop at just watching. “She actually tags along with me to set and even ends up in the background as an extra sometimes,” Sweeney shared. “She’s always been one of my biggest fans.”
Despite the family hiccup, Sweeney embraces the complexities of her character. “I love portraying Cassie, especially during her most dramatic and chaotic moments,” she said. “It’s challenging but incredibly rewarding to dive deep into her world.”
This lighthearted family story adds another layer to Sweeney’s rising stardom, showcasing not just her acting chops but also her grounded and humorous take on fame. And while her dad and grandpa might think twice before hitting play again, there’s no doubt that her grandma will be front and center for whatever role she takes on next.
As Euphoria continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences, Sydney Sweeney remains a standout, both on-screen and off. With a supportive family—quirks and all—she’s navigating Hollywood with grace, talent, and a dash of humor.
