The actor, who plays Gia, AKA Rue (Zendaya)’s younger sister, revealed that although she was acting, filming the scene in which her sister is having a breakdown was especially difficult for her.
“Once you call cut and say it’s a wrap for the day, I’m usually able to go home and be fine, but I spent a lot of time thinking about what we shot after the fact,” Reid told E! News in a recent interview. “I think it really bothered me.”
She continued, “That’s your true raw emotion of what’s going on in the scene and to see [Rue] kick down that door and scream at me and like us tussling, I was just like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t want to do this anymore.’ Like I’m tussling with my sister.”
However, according to Reid, what she hopes viewers can take away from the show makes it all worthwhile. “That’s a part of the reason why we make Euphoria, to be relatable and to try to put a hand out to somebody and say, ‘Hey, we know what you’re going through.’”
Seasons 1 and 2 of Euphoria are currently streaming on HBO Max.
