Euphoria lead Jacob Elordi – who plays Nate Jacobs – sat down with everyone’s favourite TV host Ellen to discuss what it’s like to disrobe on the hit HBO show.
The interview comes amidst a number of comments from female stars such as Sydney Sweeney and Chloe Cherry about their discomfort with certain scenes.
“You’re naked a lot,” Ellen said. “How does that feel? […] Do they say, ‘Hey, how do you feel about being naked?’ or are you just all of a sudden surprised?”
“You have no choice,” Elordi replied. “It’s like, every scene is, he sleeps with this person, he does this with this person naked.”
Adding that it “comes with the territory of the character,” because Nate is “ultra-masculine macho jock.” Elordi also mentioned the show’s intimacy coordinator, Amanda Blumenthal who he described as a “second mother.”
“And the crew has been the same for the first season through the second season, so it’s kind of like getting naked in front of your family,” said Elordi.
We’re not sure if that makes it better or worse. (The former if you’re on OnlyFans for sure).
It’s also ironic considering that during episode 6 which saw Cal’s (Eric Dane) meltdown, he spent a number of minutes with his penis out in front of his onscreen family.
