The most intense scenes in Euphoria season 3 center around Rue’s story. Zendaya’s character is involved in dangerous activities like dealing guns and drugs, and even running a desert club. Chloe Cherry, who plays Faye, is right alongside her. In the season premiere, Rue and Faye risk everything by smuggling drugs across the border, hiding bags of fentanyl inside their bodies. The scene is incredibly unsettling. As Rue narrates the danger – a single broken bag could be fatal – Zendaya and Cherry film themselves swallowing the bags, using lubricant to help. Cherry describes the process as reminiscent of force-feeding geese, but surprisingly, she says it was one of the most enjoyable experiences she had filming the entire show. “It was fun for me to act out something that was that intense,” she shared at the season 3 premiere.
Cherry explained how she approached the scene: Sam asked her to appear genuinely disgusted, and she took that to heart. She started imagining herself actually experiencing the unpleasantness, which made her feel truly repulsed while filming. Despite this, she continued, and the cast and crew applauded her performance afterward. She wasn’t exaggerating – it really was a very disturbing scene, and we can easily imagine why everyone clapped!
