Prior to Euphoria, Dominic had established himself as a rising singer-songwriter to watch. And a lot of realizations that wouldn't be made without him coming into the fold.'

Z told Entertainment Weekly that Elliot 'is a beautiful addition to this triangle, because he's also a catalyst for so much that's gonna come to a head, and without his character kind of cracking that open, there's a lot of changes within these characters that wouldn't happen and need to happen. We can expect to see more of him as season 2 progresses, even though Zendaya has said she was initially skeptical of a character who might come between her ult ship, Rue and Jules. He and Rue first meet at a party in episode one, when she catches him doing drugs on the washing machine they subsequently get high together, and when Rue teeters on the edge of an overdose, Elliot saves her life. Musician Dominic Fike enters his first acting project as Elliot in Euphoria season 2, a new classmate and friend first to Rue, and then to Jules. It’s similar because you have to have your guard down for these scenes and let yourself be.This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. When you’re anticipating a scene, you get nervous for it and you’re trying to combat it so you don’t fuck up. It kind of puts the friendships on hyperspeed.”Īs for how that onscreen vulnerability compares to stepping onto the runway, Schafer explains, “I think the anticipation is similar. “Because Zendaya was my main scene partner throughout the season, we’ve seen each other in about every emotional state that we have. “I remember one of the first days Zendaya and I shot together we were filming in a blanket fort that the crew had built and she has glitter tears in this scene so we basically got to act really high together, which was fun, and that sort of began the glitter-absolutely-everywhere spiral that continued for the rest of season,” Schafer recalls.

“And Rodarte is obviously really special.”Īs much as Schafer tried to step back out of the character when she returned home from work each night, she says it was a struggle: “The lines got blurred.” But her castmate Zendaya offered support and plenty of laughs to lighten the heavy mood. “I feel really happy about the piece we choose,” Schafer says. So she settled on Rodarte, a brand with punk roots that has perfected the red-carpet realm. “I’m lucky to have a solid team to keep me in check and say, ‘You probably shouldn’t wear head-to-toe Comme des Garçons sculptural shit on your first premiere,’” she jokes. You could say the whole night is an exercise in restraint, something Schafer is now getting used to. “I’m going to be honest and say that we did the fitting this morning,” she says, before adding that, like with the bangs, she had one thing in mind but ended up going in a softer direction, with a floral Rodarte dress in a muted palette, paired with metallic combat boots. The actress, who earned fame as a model prior to the show, posing for the likes of Dior, Miu Miu, Rick Owens, and Marc Jacobs, also happens to be exceedingly relaxed about what she’s wearing on this special evening. Despite staring down the biggest night in her career thus far, the Raleigh, North Carolina, native is still keeping it real-just one of the many reasons she was cast alongside stars like Zendaya in the upcoming gritty teen saga. Take this, for example: Despite being in the middle of makeup and hair (she ultimately opted for wispy baby bangs left loose from her pulled-back hair), it was Schafer herself who ran out of her Silver Lake apartment to open the building’s door for me when I arrived, rather than send out one of the many people buzzing around her apartment. It’s her first premiere, and instead of having meticulously mapped out every detail, Schafer is following her instincts, moment by moment-and keeping calm, cool, and collected throughout. It’s just a couple of hours away from the red carpet premiere of HBO’s next big show Euphoria, and star Hunter Schafer is debating whether or not she should get bangs.
