![]() ![]() I struggle to say that because there’s so much trauma that is very hard to get away from.ĭo you think Jules’ video is on the flash drive? I don’t look into the future of a character too much. With his confrontation with Cal in the Season 2 finale, is Nate reaching a turning point? It’s impossible not to misunderstand him because he’s never being honest. So he’s deliberately misunderstood because he doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve. His whole thing is secrets, keeping everything hidden. People are usually quite funny about it, like, “Oh, you’re a scary fucking guy!” I think in public, people are much more sane than on the internet. I don’t read an awful lot, but from what I do read, it’s kind of humbling because if people can’t differentiate, and saying, “I hate this guy”… then maybe that means I did my job well. How does it feel to play a character who evokes such strong feelings from the audience? And sometimes the score makes him sound like a bit of a villain. And yeah, his means are fucking awful and terrible to watch. I think everyone’s in their own trauma and fighting through something. If Rue is the protagonist, I don’t see Nate as the antagonist. Even when it comes down to Jules - it’s because of his dad. Everything he does is kind of relative to his own situation. It’s funny, I don’t even really call him an antagonist, because I don’t see him as like the villain who comes in to ruin the hero’s day. What is your approach to playing Nate, who many view as one of the main antagonists of the series? ![]() I think one of the biggest things I will continue to try to learn from him is patience, especially in the face of adversity and in terms of being on a film set. What have you learned from him as an actor? You’ve been involved in some of the most powerful scenes this season, including Eric Dane’s monologue in Episode 4. It was super charged, but actually quite enjoyable to shoot. But he also wanted us to feel comfortable because it’s such an insane scene, so we had to be able to get to where we were going. We had to map out the scene and figure out how we were going to do specific shots that Sam Levinson wanted to do. When we just look in each other’s eyes, there’s a whole season of memories. She has spoken specifically about that scene, and how it took two days to shoot and you both improvised a little.ĭefinitely. ![]() Over the years, we’ve done so much intense work together, and we’ve both put our bodies and minds on the line with each other so many times. With Alexa, I know that girl so intimately now. When shooting intense scenes, how do you build trust with your co-stars? I’m thinking specifically of the scene where Nate brings a gun to retrieve the DVD from Maddy (Alexa Demie). Any byproduct of that is kind of to the wayside for me, because it’s like, I’ve got a job to do from then to then. I try to make a conscious decision when I’m shooting, that from the start months to the end months, that’s “Euphoria” time - that’s Nate’s time. Is it easy to snap in and out of the character? He’s got this feeling to him in the first season, and I wanted to disestablish that and remember that I was playing a kid, playing a person, as opposed to a fictional TV character. I wanted to find a new way of playing Nate that would like be exciting to me but also true to the story. I wanted to come back at “Euphoria” as if it was a completely new TV show - like it was essentially a new character. So I think the only challenge was maybe shedding the knowledge that I had of myself and of Nate in the first season. I try to kind of come at everything as a blank canvas. What were some of the challenges going into this season? It’s incredibly humbling to feel like you’re part of something that’s seemingly a big part of the current time. How does it feel to be a part of something so massive? “Euphoria” has done so well for HBO, and is a social media phenomenon. Following the season finale, Elordi spoke with Variety about what happened in between, his approach to playing Nate and why he doesn’t view him as an “antagonist.” And he also addressed some of the rumors of discontent surrounding the”Euphoria” set.
