Euphoria star Hunter Schafer initially declined the role of Jules, which she has now received critical-acclaim for. The hit HBO series was her first acting credit.
However, Schafer did not accept the role straight away. “I reached out to her agent and they originally passed,” according to casting director Jennifer Venditti.
At the time, Schafer was focused on modelling, not acting, and her team decided to decline the role. “[The actor] had to be open to any kind of sexual situations.
So imagine that you were not really thinking of acting, and someone brings an opportunity with possible nudity,” Vendetti explains.
