Euphoria starring Sydney Sweeney, has an intimacy coordinator on set to make sure the actress is supported and comfortable throughout filming any scenes. Celebrities have varying degrees of comfort in front of the camera especially when it comes to filming a scene where partial or full nudity is required.
White Lotus actress Sydney Sweeney has vowed to continue doing nude scenes as they have given her confidence to love her body just as it is while The Dropout star Amanda Seyfried admitted earlier this month that she used to feel pressured into getting undressed at the beginning of her career. For Sweeney who has filmed many intimate scenes as Cassie Howard on Sam Levinsons Euphoria an intimacy coordinator would be on set to make sure the actress was supported and comfortable throughout filming any scenes.
Dr. Jessica Steinrock a certified Intimacy Coordinator registered with SAG-AFTRA exclusively told Fox News Digital that the need for intimacy coordinators in the industry is only going to continue to grow as viewers embrace the range of storytelling offered on streaming networks versus cable television. This is a relatively new role. It really hit its stride kind of in 2018 when HBO made their commitment to having an intimacy coordinator on all their film sets she said. An intimacy coordinator is there to provide safety and framework for scenes of intimacy. Those are scenes of simulated sex simulated genital contact or scenes of nudity.
In the wake of the MeToo and Times Up movements safety of actors on set was recognized and intimacy coordinators have become a part of a production according to Steinrock who noted that intimacy coordinators have always been necessary for cast and crews.Euphoria has intimacy coordinators on set however Sweeney said in a January interview with The Independent that she has had terrible experiences with other acting roles and wanted to scrub myself raw and felt disgusting after filming a difficult scene. I did not feel comfortable with my castmate or the crew and I just did not feel like my character would be doing it. That made me even more self conscious. I did not feel like I was able to speak up Sweeney said.
Seyfried also recently shared a similar statement saying she felt obligated to do nude scenes at a young age just to keep working in the entertainment industry. Being 19 walking around without my underwear on like are you kidding me? How did I let that happen? Seyfried told Porter in August. Oh I know why I was 19 and I did not want to upset anybody and I wanted to keep my job. Thats why.
