Star: Sidney Sweeney believes there is a “double standard” with male actors “receiving praise” for making nude scenes
Sydney, who plays Cassie Howard in the hugely popular HBO series, added that she is “excluded” from them and feels like she’s watching her characters naked, not herself.
She said: “I am so detached from this. When they tag me in the naked of Cassie or Pippa from The Voyeurs, I get the feeling that I’m looking at their naked, not Sydney’s naked.
“When you’re shooting one of these scenes, it’s so technical and not so romantic.” When I first saw Voyeur, I wondered if I had done too much. I researched celebrities who did nude scenes trying to feel better.
“There are one-hour compilations of world-famous male actors with nude scenes who have won Oscars and received praise for their work. But the moment a woman does it, it humiliates them … There is such a double standard and I really hope that I can be a little involved in changing that.

Double standard: She was asked about her feelings for the nude after the finale of the second season of Euphoria
The blonde bomb reacted to the finale of the Euphoria season as the episode marked the end of the road for two heroes, with the arrest of two more.
Sydney said, “It was a whirlwind. Seeing how many people feel about these characters is amazing and I hope that as a result they learn empathy.
“We worked very hard for a very long time; the cast and crew poured their hearts and souls into the show, so [I’m glad it’s] receiving recognition. The crew is there every day and works so many hours. It’s really special.
Role: Sydney, who plays Cassie Howard in the HBO series, added that she is “excluded” from them and feels like she’s watching her characters naked, not herself.
She also described Cassie’s space until the end of the second season of Euphoria, saying: “As an actor, I like to be able to go to places that can be deep for characters, because you unlock different parts of them that you didn’t know before.
“I like to discover different parts of Cassie. The second season was so different [to season one] because last season Cassie was so confident and this time of selfishness and self-confidence.
“And then in the finale of season two, Cassie was completely destroyed and mad, just the opposite of where we left her in the first season. I can only imagine where he will go next season.
She said: “When you shoot one of these scenes, it’s so technical and not so romantic.”
Cassie’s scene “I’ve never been happier” in the bathroom went viral as a sound in TikTok.
Commenting on the trend, Sydney said: “I know, this is crazy. They keep sending me different videos of people using sound. This is fascinating.
“It’s beautiful when you have a character that so many people can connect with. It’s a very special experience to be able to connect with people through that. ‘
On the topic of how she and her colleagues from Euphoria support each other, the artist said that “they send messages, call and check”.

She added: “Maud [Apatow] and hang out all the time. We have a really good group and support system. At the moment we are all scattered around the world, but let’s hope that when we return together we will have a little celebration [about season three]. ‘
Sydney, which has starred in series such as The White Lotus Everything Sucks !, has launched its own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films.
To her surprise at being the driver of Fifty-Fifty Films, she said: “As much as people in the industry say they support young female voices, I still have to fight, even among -older women.
“I was told that I could not get the credit I believed I deserved, and I could not find my company name in a project I was developing. I have theories why. Maybe they feel it’s too easy for us.
“I was told that I had to do a few things before I could get such a loan, as if I didn’t deserve it. And that came from women. I found this very surprising. Everyone imagines that we support each other, but I still haven’t fully felt it.
Sydney said of the show: “It was a whirlwind. Seeing how much people feel about these characters is amazing and I hope they learn empathy as a result. “
