Sydney Sweeney recently revealed that how her role in Euphoria became a problem for her role in The White Lotus.

&#8220;They didn&#8217;t think I was right&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; Sydney Sweeney Unravels the Truth behind How Her Character in ‘Euphoria’ Became a Roadblock for Her Role in ‘The White Lotus&#8217;

Sydney Sweeney [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sydney-sweeney/] is one of those
young talents in Hollywood who are rising toward the peak of their popularity.
However, what makes Sweeney special among them is her tenacious personality and
abundant talent. With those qualities, this small-town girl has been able to
survive in this billion-dollar industry. Although she has played a variety of
characters in the industry, one time her Emmy-winning role got in the way of
another critically acclaimed role.

Choosing versatile roles is one of Sweeney’s specialties and that is what her
fans like about her. After playing the dumb blonde Cassie Howard
in Euphoria, the 25-year-old gained massive popularity. However, she played the
role so perfectly, that it became a problem for her when she auditioned for The
White Lotus. The reason was that her character Olivia Mossbacher in the show was
totally opposite of Cassie.

While Cassie was an emotional fool, Olivia’s character was smart, mean, and
manipulative. She was a powerful young woman who loved her freedom while Cassie
liked to be in control. Due to Sweeney’s impeccable portrayal of Cassie, the
makers of The White Lotus mistakenly perceived her as a real-life dumb blonde.
She told in her Awards Chatter podcast, “They didn’t think I was right for the
character.”

The 25-year-old faced difficulties in getting the role not after season 1 of
Euphoria but because of it. But how did she convince the makers for the role?


SYDNEY SWEENEY HAD TO PUT HER ON THE TAPE FOR THE SHOW

Once someone becomes an established actor, the makers get well-versed with their
personality and the kind of roles that will be fit for them. Even though Sydney
Sweeney absolutely nailed it in Euphoria, the makers of The White Lotus were
still skeptical about her giving the role.

The actress revealed in the podcast that she had to put herself on the tape and
after that, she got the call. She revealed that she had a good talk with the
creator of the show Mike White. Eventually, Sweeney convinced him that she will
be a good fit for the role and that’s how she got it.



Sweeney demonstrated her extraordinary skills, affirming that she would be a
perfect fit for the role
