Before finally agreeing to play her breakout role of Cassie Howard in Euphoria, Sydney Sweeney hesitated for this reason.

&#8220;There was a bit of &#8216;Ooo, I don&#8217;t know'&#8221; &#8211; Why Did Sydney Sweeney Hesitate Before Playing the Role of Cassie, Which Ultimately Got Her an Emmy Nomination?

Sydney Sweeney is an extremely enthusiastic individual with a strong sense of
self. This is one of the reasons she was sure she was going to make a great
actress someday. The 25-year-old got a chance to prove that in her breakout role
as Cassie Howard in Euphoria, for which she also won an Emmy nomination.
Surprisingly, when she first received the role offer, the Reality star was
unsure.

The reason behind her hesitation was, as she explained in her own words in an
interaction with MTV News in 2019, “There was a bit of, ‘Ooo, I don’t know if
I’m gonna do this because of nudity.'” It was a big deal for her, but that is
when she got practical. The Spokane native said that she gave it a second
thought and imagined that if she were a 17-year-old, she would get naked while
having sex with her boyfriend. She believed in the fact that it was reality.



 

And the fact that the show’s scenes were relatable and empathic to a wide range
of people while not being “glamorized” or “sugar-coated” was the prime motivator
for the Everything Sucks! actress. Sweeney realized that the show was based on
reality and not on something focused on nudity. That is when she decided to do
justice to the reality of the show and take the challenge. What else are her
thoughts on her character in the show?

WHAT DOES SYDNEY SWEENEY THINK OF CASSIE?

To the Spokane native, the character of Cassie is someone who still has not
figured her life out. She is more complicated than a normal teenager, who is
trying to fit in with her school life and friends while she is out there in
search of love. Cassie tries to fall in love with every person she dates, but
she ultimately ends up hurting herself because of it.



The n*des leak encounter made Cassie look like a wh*re or a s*ut in the eyes of
everyone. The White Lotus star said that ultimately it became hard for her to
figure out who she is since people always made her feel like a s*ut.

The small-town girl also believed that many people might empathize with Cassie’s
narrative of emotional ups and downs. Hence, the complex journey of the
character is what made her play it and ultimately nail it to perfection.

What do you think of Cassie’s character in the show? Do you agree with Sweeney’s
perspective on her? Tell us in the comments.
