She has grown confident in her skin and is comfortable showing her body on-screen.
“I have no problems with those scenes, and I won’t stop doing them, but I wish there was an easier way to have an open conversation about what we’re assuming about actors in the industry.”
“That’s sexy and strong, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”
She has even stood up for Euphoria’s director Sam Levinson amid criticism for explicit scenes.
“If we didn’t feel comfortable with something, or we saw something we didn’t like, we’d all speak up.”
“We are there, and clearly we’re still working on the show, and we’re still supportive.”
“It’s not, ‘Oh, here’s a pair of t*ts.’ It’s just real.”
“How do you bring up a conversation? And also, when I talk to my dad, it’s usually not about work.”
“He decided he was going to watch it without telling me, with his parents.”
“When we were doing that, there were other people weighing in on what we should do in that scene.”
“I was like, ‘I don’t like when crew members are weighing in on how I should do a sexy shower scene.’”
Sydney acknowledged the awkwardness but felt it was more about being watched by the crew than the intimacy with a co-star.
“If anything, I feel more safe with someone who I’m friends with than some people that you don’t really know.”
