The actress revealed she didn't fully prepare her family for the explicit nature of the role
Sydney Sweeney has revealed that her dad and grandfather walked out of the room after watching her in a particularly risqué role.
The 27-year-old actress has enjoyed a glittering career since bursting onto the scene, appearing in projects such as Anyone but You, Immaculate and The White Lotus.
However, the actress has also learned that a career in Hollywood isn't always as fun as it looks, especially when it comes to the topic of sexually explicit content and family members.
One of the most recognisable roles of Sweeney's was her breakout role as Cassie Howard in HBO's Euphoria.
Set in a fictional high school in California, the gritty teen series tackles numerous heavy topics - such as drug abuse, revenge porn, mental illness and dating violence. Cassie's storylines in particular revolved included abortion, infidelity and low self-esteem due to hyper-sexualisation.
The series has since received praise from critics and fans for its decision to boldly tackle heavy storylines. However, it has also meant that its cast was left in an awkward position when it came to friends and family.
Recalling her relative's reactions to the show, Sweeney explained that her mum was fully aware of the explicit nature of the series as she had visited her numerous times on set - however, she didn't pre-warn her dad at all about the role.
