Jacob Elordi's remark that he 'felt free' on the set of Euphoria after having 'no time' to prepare for season 3 has prompted a wave of online reaction, with some viewers praising his spontaneity and others deriding his comments as tone-deaf and self-congratulatory.
Elordi, speaking to Entertainment Weekly on The Awardist podcast, described the unusual working conditions on Euphoria Season 3, including limited scripts and last-minute shooting, as a creative liberation that forced him to act in the moment rather than overthink every choice. He said the process led to a looser, more instinctive performance and credited showrunner Sam Levinson with giving him 'the floor' to try things that might or might not stick.
