Euphoria star wants Nate to have a boyfriend in season 3
Austin Abrams wants Nate to explore his sexuality with a boyfriend in the upcoming third season of Euphoria. The actor, who plays Ethan Daley on the critically-acclaimed HBO teen drama, recently told Nerds of Colour that he would “love to do a scene” with Jacob Elordi, who plays Nate. “I don’t even know what that would look like but I would love to do a scene with him,” said Abrams.
After the interviewer indicated that any of the characters “getting involved” with Nate would lead to trouble, he responded: “I know, bad idea, but I wanna see… I don’t even know what that interaction would look like. “That’d be such a weird interaction, especially after doing the play.
I don’t know, I just wonder how he’d react to my character.” In the penultimate episode of season two, Ethan performed in Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) school play, which the characters soon came to realise was based on their lives.
It memorably concluded with a homoerotic rendition of Holding Out for a Hero, depicting Ethan – as Nate – aggressively working out in a locker room with other male students.
