Sydney Sweeney reveals how her family feels about her steamy ‘Euphoria’ scenes

What’s the opposite of euphoria?

Sydney Sweeney revealed this week that her dad “walked out” during her X-rated “Euphoria” scenes because she “didn’t prepare” him for the steamy content in the HBO series.

“I mean how do you bring up a conversation?” she explained on “Sunday Today with Willie Geist.” “Also, when I talk to my dad it’s usually not about work … we talk father-daughter conversations.”

Unbeknownst to her, “The White Lotus” star added, her dad invited her grandparents to a viewing.

“My dad and my grandpa turned it off and walked out,” the 25-year-old actress admitted.

Her grandma, on the other hand, is a “big fan.”

“I bring her usually all over the world to my different sets, and I make her an extra,” said Sweeney, who noted her mom was the only one “prepared” for the explicit scenes after visiting the set.

Sweeney — whose engagement was recently embroiled in controversy amid romance rumors with her “Anyone But You” co-star Glen Powell — previously revealed her grandparents’ reaction to the “Euphoria” Season 2 premiere.

“They said I have the best t-ts in Hollywood,” she told Ellen DeGeneres in March.

After “Euphoria,” Sweeney appeared in “The White Lotus.”

The blonde bombshell also opened up to British GQ about her nude scenes, discussing her frustration with the audience.

She said some viewers have screen-shotted her X-rated appearances and tagged her family members online.

“My cousins don’t need that. It’s completely disgusting and unfair,” the two-time Emmy nominee said in the 2022 interview.

She criticized: “You have a character that goes through the scrutiny of being a sexualized person at school and then an audience that does the same thing.”

But a few internet trolls aren’t going to deter her from acting in more nude scenes.

“I think it’s ridiculous. I’m an artist, I play characters. It makes me want to play characters that piss people off more,” added Sweeney, who once said she was “ostracized” for her larger breasts as a teen.

In fact, she’s “proud” of her work, she told The Independent, despite critics overlooking it because she “got naked.”

“When a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise,” she argued. “But the moment a girl does it, it’s completely different.”
