Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney are allegedly at a 'nuclear' breaking point on the set of Euphoria in Los Angeles as work continues on the HBO drama's long-delayed third season, according to a source quoted by US tabloid Star. The two leads, who play Rue and Cassie in the hit series, are said to be so strained that they were 'mostly sequestered' from one another during filming, with barely overlapping storylines and a cloud of off‑screen tension hanging over the show's return.
Euphoria turned Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney into global stars, helped along by the controversial vision of creator and showrunner Sam Levinson. Zendaya, already a household name, won acclaim and awards for her portrayal of troubled teen Rue, while Sweeney's career accelerated on the back of Cassie's intense, often explicit story arcs.
