Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday (31 March), Sweeney told the host that she invited her entire family to the Euphoria season two premiere: “Like my grandparents, my uncle... I was like, ‘It’s a Hollywood premiere!’”
The star, who plays Cassie Howard in the hit HBO show, admitted: “I didn’t really think about [the nudity].”
She explained to DeGeneres that her family was sitting together watching the premiere on a “ginormous” screen, to which the host exclaimed: “What were you thinking?”
Fortunately, her grandparents didn’t seem to mind the racy scenes; “They told me I have the best t*ts in Hollywood,” she told DeGeneres of their reaction.
Sweeney recently told The Independent that she felt her work on Euphoria was under-appreciated because of her nudity. “I’m very proud of my work in Euphoria,” she said. “I thought it was a great performance. But no one talks about it because I got naked.”
She added that she believes there’s “a stigma against actresses who get naked on screen”.
“When a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise. But the moment a girl does it, it’s completely different,” she said.
