Euphoria’s Chloe Cherry Claims ‘Lots Of People’ Don’t Like Working With Sam Levinson

Euphoria star Chloe Cherry has shared her take on working with its creator Sam Levinson.

Chloe is best known for portraying Faye Valentine in seasons two and three of the award-winning US drama, the latest finale of which is due to premiere in the UK next week.

During a new interview with Glamour magazine, the Roommates star was asked if she’d be up for coming back to Euphoria if a fourth season were to be made, and confirmed that she would.

“I love working for Sam Levinson so much,” she enthused, acknowledging that while “a lot of people don’t”, she likes him “a lot”.

Asked about why people might have issues with him, Chloe suggested: “I think it’s because he is so specific about how everything needs to be. And there’s some people that I guess just don’t like how he’s so specific with how he imagines everything in the show.”

She added that while she enjoys how Sam is prone to the way he can “randomly changing his mind” on set and be “so sure of everything that the characters wear and say”, other actors could “find that to be too much”.

In 2022, unconfirmed reports of a clash between cast member Barbie Ferreira and the show’s boss emerged in the press.

After Barbie announced her exit from Euphoria in the lead-up to season three, she insisted that her departure was a mutual decision.

More recently, The Hollywood Reporter published a piece alleging that the friendship between the show’s lead actor Zendaya and its creator had “cooled”, leading to supposed “resentment” between them.

Neither party has addressed this speculation publicly, and declined to comment when contacted by The Hollywood Reporter.

Elsewhere in her Glamour interview, Chloe defended the third season’s portrayal of women, which has become a contentious issue over the last few weeks.

She insisted: “I think Sam is using these young women as a vessel to show how society currently sees young women.

“I don’t believe that he’s trying to say that it’s these young women’s fault that all the world wants from them is for them to just be hot and be sexy and be young. I think Sam’s trying to say: ‘Look where we have got to in society’.”

Before being cast in Euphoria, Chloe worked in the porn industry, even appearing in an adult parody of the series, and recently weighed in on the show’s depiction of OnlyFans modelling in its most recent season.
