Euphoria helped turn actors like Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi into Hollywood stars.<\/p>\n

Wallace says working with those huge names was “incredible” and the cast were “super warm, very welcoming”.<\/p>\n

He describes Zendaya, who plays Rue, as “fully a movie star, but she’s super, super sweet”.<\/p>\n

“[She’s] unbelievably professional, she’s incredibly present,” he tells Newsbeat.<\/p>\n

“The way that she runs from emotion to emotion and the way she just knows that character so well it’s insane to be around.”<\/p>\n

One of the biggest moments of the final episode was a tribute to actor Angus Cloud, who died in 2023 from an accidental overdose<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old played drug dealer Fez in the first two series, and Levinson used old test footage of Cloud with Zendaya to include him in the final episode.<\/p>\n

Wallace describes the tribute as “just really gorgeous” and says it was “definitely the right way to go about it”.<\/p>\n

“For me personally I found Angus’s performance in the TV show to really inspirational,” he says.<\/p>\n

“He was just so himself in the show, and I thought, especially by season two, he carried so much of it, and I just loved him as an actor.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Euphoria helped turn actors like Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi into Hollywood stars.
