Sydney Sweeney defends her racy scenes in “Euphoria”
The American actress defended the nude scenes on screen, considering them an essential part of the development of her character.
Just a few weeks after knowing the outcome of the third season of the series “Euphoria,” actress Sydney Sweeney spoke out about the criticism that has rained down on her on social networks as a result of the intimate scenes and nudity brought to the screen with her character “Cassie Howard.”
In an interview with “W Magazine”, the protagonist of stories such as “Americana” and “The Housemaid” assured that far from feeling uncomfortable with the “bawdy” scenes or nakedness in front of the screen, it is an opportunity to demonstrate her professionalism.
According to her testimony, this type of representation on screen is a key part of her character's development: "I don't get nervous with the scenes in which I appear naked. I think the female body is something very powerful (...) I am telling the story of my character, so I have the responsibility to do it well and do what is necessary," she stated.
Likewise, the 28-year-old star assured that the HBO production never created an uncomfortable atmosphere in the filming of these scenes. On the contrary, it became a safe space in which their suggestions were welcomed and they even contributed to the elimination of scenes that they did not consider necessary.
This is not the first time that Sydney Sweeney has taken a forceful stance against criticism of her performances. In a talk given to The Independent, the famous woman condemned “the double standards” that exist within the industry when it comes to intimate scenes starring women.
"There is a stigma against actresses who get naked on screen. When a boy has a sex scene or shows his body, he continues to win awards and receive praise. But when a girl does it, it is completely different," he noted months ago.
For this reason, the famous actress prefers to ignore the negativity and focus on the experiences she accumulates on an acting level: "I am very proud of my work in 'Euphoria'. I think it was a great performance. But no one talks about it because I got naked," she lamented.
