“Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson says he considered shooting Season 3 without any nudity for Cassie, the character that launched Sydney Sweeney’s career and has often sparked criticism for over-sexualization. But Sweeney nipped that idea in the bud.

In an interview with the New York Times, Levinson was asked about his relationship with Sweeney and her comfort with performing the mature content “Euphoria” requires of her. “Well, it’s funny. When I first wrote it, I was like, ‘Maybe we shoot all of this and we don’t have any nudity. Maybe there’s ways to shoot around certain things?'” Levinson said. “And she looked at me and she was like, ‘Are you kidding? I’m playing an OnlyFans model. You’re telling me you’re going to, like, skirt around it?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, OK, that’s a fair point.'”
