EUPHORIA Q&A with Creator and Cast | ATX TV Festival | HBO 

wdym especially for a dude? every artist is connected in some way shape or form no mattet what

My friend told me about the show last week, I watched the trailer around 10am after my work shift and between that and my evening shift It’s almost midnight and I’m about to be 5 episodes deep. I’m on Bonny and Clyde rn but I’ve never had a show get me so hooked in a very long time and I’m a 19 yo straight guy so it’s legit a show for everyone. I’ve also been faded all day while watching it. I kinda act like the black twins daily but not as much now that I have a decent job. Funny how accurate the show is from someone who has tried every drug besides heroin, pcp, and ketamine but everything else I’m fairly experienced with. Especially psychedelics and downers so this show really sticks to me tbh rue kinda reminds me of myself.

@@Smokeyjoedamanedamythdalegend Definitely. It's really easy to get hooked. The visuals, soundtrack, and complex stories and characters really make you want to binge

noodlepapi yeah but for guys. we don’t typically broadcast deep, mental and emotional aspects. mainly bc we’re blinded by what media believes what “masculinity” is. stuff like, hard exterior, quite, ability to protect, provide and not expressing emotion openly. it’s just brave to show something to this magnitude as a male artist. there’s probably other artists that did the samething but it still deserves some respect

Reeseooo it’s because it’s his life

Kamila with K hahahahaha same! 😂😂😢

SAME I CRIED LIKE 4 TIMES WATCHING THIS, SOME REAL SHIT WAS SAID.

UMMM HELLOOOO Same

Me too!! I'm at the beginning and I'm balling my eyes out like a little bitch 😭😭

And then laughing when the audience starts to ask them questions and then crying again wishing that was u asking the question because the person who asked the question gets acknowledged by kweens

Same. I kinda do the same and never thought much of it thinking it was just part of who I am and realized oh dang, maybe there’s reasoning behind it and never thought to admit that to myself.

I didn’t understand it tho isnt like a moment when you pee automatically

i felt that part deep and had a need to pee now anxiety eventhough i didnt have to pee

She didnt pee coz she didn't want to its one of the side effects when abusing the drug lmao 😂

roxxylala26 lmao because I get anxiety from NOT peeing

FACTS

and likewise not being a sexual being when people see you that way

honestly hearing that hurt my heart.

@@lunakodama302 This too. Sometimes people just want to dress the way they want but not be objectified. But I guess that's too much to ask.

FACTS

@Everyday V I think they meant that people don't appreciate her enough for how good of an actress she is.

She's what they wanted Kirsten Stewart to be

She’s turned down things in the past so she could keep her Disney gig but now that she’s left she’s more open

Malaika for real she’s been playing a teen since she was barely a teen😂

Disney is owned and ran by pedophiles thats why they manipulated many young kids , many who left disney either sing and dance inappropriately or do drugs very few make it and become better people

Omg same!

i am internally melting with how much i am cringing omfgggggg

Really went down hill from "is that a no or a maybe?".

Cringeworthy af

Nella Rohan time stamp??

This shows that Disney was underestimating her talent , shes a great actress and can take any role besides some boring disney show with computerized laughter in the background

Facts, I had a different perspective of her before Euphoria, I mean “the good girl image” but after I saw her on the series that Image just blew away , Like just wow. 👏🏻 (I’m saying it in the good way tho)

If Z didn’t play Rue im not sure if i would have watched euphoria.

Oh. My. God. Yes. I’d kill to write a character for her though, mind you, I wasn’t hip to Zendaya until saw a video on their cinematography; leading me to binge it, of course. But damn. Every. Single. Element. Is fucking great. Even with the “worst” character gets some of the most beautiful shots and edits IMO

I’m really glad she didn’t have the “DISNEY KID. DON’T CAST IS ANYTHING EXCEPT MOVIES WRITTEN BASED OFF OF TEENAGE ROMANCE BOOKS” brand slapped on her forehead. She’s an amazing actor. I have watched euphoria a minimum of 7 times. I hope for more.

time stamp please?

@@lina-ix4lh 2:28

I just did it

yeah u definitely didn’t do that lmao

Same!

Alonie Riggins forgiveness can be an act of love and you are worthy of love. You are loved. ❤️

Find love, love will heal you, love will forgive you, love will accept you. And the only place where that true love will come from will be yourself. Love, heal, forgive and accept yourself. No matter how much you have messed up, you can always find that warmth inside you. Once you've done this, I assure you that your surroundings will begin to change. You will start to look and walk up, you will look for what and who is best for yourself.

you're quoting Zendaya like she is MLK??? hahahahhahhaahah stop bro. just stop....listen to yourself.

@@jeremypr 🤨

@@jeremypr ok...but didn't MLK become MLK, because of the things he said? Your comment doesn't make sense, because whatever Zendaya said clearly resonated with the original commentator. It doesn't matter whether she's MLK or Zendaya... or Dora for all I care 😑

Alexis Chang LMAOOOO SHE REALLY WAS

Alexis Chang I’m literally dying

that was so uncomfy to watch

Alexis Chang the guy said “find me or I’ll find you” so that def made her extra done w him lol

Omg

I feel bad about what drugs did to him .

Loraine Kat yeah, but I also feel very glad that he found the strength to get where he is now

i just wanna listen to him talk for hours about his life and the show and filmmaking and music.

Yeah, like... if Rue is him, Rue is my soulmate, so i’d absolutely wanna talk to him for hours

jewish

Armani McKenzie yes so precious haha

@@Relentless_Games she is a girl

@@Relentless_Games So what we not gonna do is be this fuckin fool.

@@Relentless_Games there's always going to be dicks like you bringing others down over their own insecurities. i truly hope you get the help you need to find whatever happy place suits you and i'm glad hunter has. SHE seems very happy and this is only the beginning. have a nice day.

@@vantaes3357 Believe whatever you like cause that's your prerogative, just remember facts are facts & truth is truth.

Just me Cierra Nah bro, he’s a tooper, a true alpha male😂🤣😂🤣💀

@@CloudyDayl nah he an idiot

@@CloudyDayl Just a little tip, when men say "alpha male" it sounds ridiculous and juvenile. Sounds like you're trying to compensate for having an actual personality.

@@CloudyDayl I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since you're still at school. All the best, hope you mature.

@@CloudyDayl Uhh, you do realize women grow "pubes" too right? Saying this as a guy, quit overcompensating and trying to seem so confident. An "alpha male" is not a thing to strive to be.

Madison B. HHAHAA I clocked that

Cause she was about to call her zen-DIE-uh but i guess she quickly remembered when Z had to clarify that her name isnt as fancy as everybody thinks and that its just zen-DAY-uh. She did it a couple times in the beginning

he was a lot.

Honestly right like sit down we not here to talk about ice cream . We talking about serious problems .

I commend him for shooting his shot but it was a little too much. Chill bro

It was funny tho😂

imagine hearing his story being raw and open about his life and thinking the whole time 'when can he be done so i can shoot my shottttt!!!'

🤣😂

i want her dress super cute

mile absolutely, bless her soul 🥺

and the question was the best one.

Me too💛💛May God help her through all her struggles with her child

I’m literally crying while listening to that question 🥺❤️

❤️🙏

barbie's faces to it were representing all women lol

i thought he just seemed excited and happy?

@goodbyehoes true. Girls can be like that too. Idk why people like to make all things about gender.

@@cristiv.4089 they do that when they're sexist.

Most people* but yes.

I LOVE THIS!!!!

YES or that being trans or gay isnt their whole personality trait

THIS!

U R LEGIT TRUE GIRL

@Yemima Hutapea yes . on the show and in real life

OMG YES SJJSJSJFBDHJSKSKD

She way too young for Euphoria LOL

It’s crazy to think tons of young kids like her are watching that show consuming that content Jesus f christ

I learned about stuff like that from a young age but yeah that's crazy

Her face went from ☺️ to 😳😮

yeah, it was cute af when the little child was speaking. but scary

She literally sucks at acting i cant stand yall lmao

@@Moonlight-mz7mu stop being a hater & get a life.

@@baked_bean8 quite literally any other A list actor can act better than her, her recent roles literally bring down the entire mood of whatever shes in. In euphoria okay cool she can play a drug addict who overdosed and gets high as hell, theres also so many actors who can do the same but 100% times better. Shes nice and a good model but her acting is mediocre at best and if you were actually into film and the industry you’d understand what makes a good actor good. Being a good role model and being sweet has nothing to do with talent so idc if you bring those points up to me.

@@Moonlight-mz7mu many people can relate to this show zendaya is Incredible

IM BAWLING

I AM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT!!!! HIS FACE WHEN SHE WAS SAYING ALL THAT AND WHEN SHE WAS COMFORTING HIM AFTERWARDS MY HEARTTTTTT

I cried so much at time🤧

I mean, the audience was only shown episode 1.

@@Cinna316 yeah true, that's why I sort of understood the lack of questions, but to me even in the first episode I could see that he was a deeper character than he appeared.

justme_0234 RIGHT! The closeted homosexuality and dealing with a child that obviously has mental issues. His character had some very real issues I hope get addressed in the future

He needs a backstory

Yeah, I felt bad for him, it was awkward and he seems such a genuine guy :/

I liked her since k.c undercover and I still love her. Shes such an iconic being

She's definitely not underrated

@@cam0987 yes she is lol

Zendaya is definitely not underrated, everyone knows she is a phenomenal actor. It's freaking Zendaya people hello!!

@@makayla2880 this comment was 2years ago, she was definitely underrated back then🤣

Clarissa Lira they shouldn’t have even allowed him in there

I know right 😱💜🤣🤣😂😂

@@lesssttidk6251 it's a girl, but it was funny.

eric just straight up smiling the whole time had me dead

Cutee

cutiexoxoxo1 my thoughts exactly

Time stamp?

@@lmaoRJ607 41:40

IT MADE ME SCREAM

And they played the 1st episode....😂😂😅

She sounds like Demi Lavato

I thought she was sick

dude her laugh is so fucking cute

I loveeeee Barbie! I’ve been following her for years. She’s so funny and genuine. 💞💞💞

Ellie Morales Totally.

Laila Guled same here

Same

Angel Eyes33 the entire show is based off his personal experiences as a drug addict before he got clean at 19 years old, and he incorporated what he did that time with the characters. it’s really heartbreaking and complex.

@@kungfuwenny9950 not all of the characters are his story. his struggles are connected to rue character. did you know he actually asked hunter what her struggles were as a trans woman to make it believable

it's true, the world doesn't deserve her. But she's such an inspiration. I want to be an Actor, good singer, be able to speak another language and be able to dance pretty well. i'm 11 years old, so i'm quite hoping I will get motivation to actually do my goals.

I’m so glad she took this role too, some of her fans were mad because she took on a more mature role but I don’t know why. She’s not gonna be a Disney girl forever she’s growing up she is a grown woman.

Yess she's so talented and she's amazing human being

I agree so much with you

very well.

Yes even while a little nervous! I was impressed how she carried herself so professional

who's Hunter? sorry.. I haven't watched Euphoria, i'm a bit too young to watch it.

Genji weeb Hunter is the blonde who plays Jules

When was that?

Yes 💖💖

she ssemed really nervous i act like that too when im nervous

Truly truly beautiful!

✨💕 perfect words! Couldn’t say it better myself 🙂

I agree, love him for this show

Agreed. That show was so dumb.

This is and the Adventure Time cast

I was thinking the same haha

they all spoke so beautifully. but.. Zendaya and Sam really took the first hand.

I experienced a lot of the same things in my family and it took me a year to finally get to episode 2. A lot of feelings I wasn't ready to unbottle and relive.

Elena Valentina omg Yessss, her facial expression showed what everybody probably was feeling

purple kyng3121 naw she said that she’d bring everyone, to make it less personal and not a date she was def uncomfortable. It was funny tho

he's gonna get some hate if we see him. lmfao

Right. Nothing wrong with shooting your shot but he should’ve done in private or something lmao

22:35

Lol I don't think Z was uncomfortable, I think she found it humorous. She is good at getting people out of their own awkward situations

angel uno barbie literally scrunched her face up and shaked her head at one point

ABI C everyone was SHOOK i 😂😭😭

😂😂🤣🤣😩💀💀💀

That was the highlight of the event lol.

Charles De Rosas forreal!!!! haha

i mean...he asked a good question tho

omg, it was funny and embarrasing

She asked a better question than that ice cream dude anyway :P

As someone apart of the cast who had a nude scene I would’ve freaked out too. Like who let the kid in

soulxxi Fr I was like this guy better shut tf up🤨

this is it.

Same

definitely.

That was adorable

Yes!!

😂😂😂😂

It could make the teens uncomfortable that's why. Also, it could inspire them to get into the wrong things. They find watch and then find drugs appealing rather than get the show's message if they haven't matured completely yet

I guess I can understand from a parents point of view, if your child is on the straight and narrow you wouldn’t want them to get any ideas from it so they could be “cool” from a teenagers point of view, I’m a junior this year; so the same grade rue is in , I like the show but it also shocks me because I could believe that this actually happens and it should be talked about

Prolly cause of the frontal nudities and countless sex scenes lmao

Jus Jp so basically 15 and plus?!

It’s only because of all the mature scenes and vulgar language, other than that it’s good

Fake Smile dead ass

soundtrack is soooo good holy shit

There is a speculation that they woulf drop it after the first season to make the show sell more

Factss🗣

@@jessicamcilwain2480 ON PERIODT

@lilbabylondee really when

@lilbabylondee oh good catch

"Eye contact skills"...lmao

@@onceblink4495 what

me too cause she's wifey

danielle c me too!

me too haha!

I’m glad that My real name is Prue because it rhymes with Rue lol😄

@tony ellis ya but I dont think of regret when I think of rue. I think it's a beautiful name

SAME

@g420 true. I try to forget that guy. I cringed.

Well....except for M-I-K-A-L

Right like 2nd hand embarrassment

What time

​@@nejwa9784 23:45

Weed isn’t a drug idiot

psychesoulinthehole yes it is. Any addictive substance is a drug. Please educate yourself before you comment

@Arthur Pessoa No, but it's still a drug. And it can be a big gateway drug. My brother started with weed and slowly moved up until he was a heroin addict. Most drug-addicts start small

blackmansbagel Can you report a comment for being stupid

yeah I felt so bad for Sam during that first question 😬

She even sticks out her tongue at him HFKDKDJDKDKDKDK

yes me too but I see myself more in Jules. But also rue. The way Jules always felt like she had to get away and run away. And felt like no matter where she was it was just never the perfect fit. Only to realize not being that “perfect fit” had nothing to do with the outer world but more what you’re feeling inside. And I see myself in rue because of the extreme depression, and feeling like I have to cling onto these people to stay a float.

yea I noticed that too

*herself*

I kinda think that it’s got just the right amount of attention. What makes the show special is that only a medium audience appreciates it and a small audience can relate to it. Immediately after watching the show I went to go check out what other people had said about it. I was shocked at the amount of people saying it unreasonable and unrealistic. So many people have not had to struggle with what the show portrays and that’s a good thing, but it means they’ll never understand the show completely. I feel like if everyone liked and related to the show it would really relate to anyone.

Laura Bonginkosi you go girl!

I’ll be rooting for you too

We should merge our stories and Make one together. That would be so fun

rooting for you!! can’t wait to see what you come out with. just subbed to your channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Aww! I'll literally wait for your show❤ This made me smile.

Tori Lexa i felt this in my core

WELL SAID

you just explained my whole feeling in a comment 😫❤️

I know I was waiting for a question I feel bad :((

😭😭😭 I'm broken 💔

I was sad for him too but he knows, that his role wasn't the most interesting part of the show. He's a side character of the show and especially a side character in Jules' life. I would've asked him though what it was like to play such a character being a dad himself?

Tbh he really wasnt in the show that much

OMG SO IT'S NOT JUST ME

Vernesha Britt Morris*

Vernesha Britt OMG I SEE IT
