etonline.com:

Sydney Sweeney is setting the record straight. In a new interview with , Sweeney clarified comments she made about some of the nude scenes she shot on .In a January interview The Independent, Sweeney told the publication, «There are moments where Cassie was supposed to be shirtless and I would tell Sam [Levinson, the show's screenwriter] ,'I don’t really think that’s necessary here.' He was like, 'OK, we don’t need it.' I’ve never felt like Sam has pushed it on me or was trying to get a nude scene into an HBO show.

When I didn’t want to do it, he didn’t make me.»While many publications took that as Sweeney asking for some of her character's «unnecessary» topless scenes to be cut from the show, the 24-year-old actress told  that that wasn't the case.«I never asked him to cut any scenes,» Sweeney told the magazine. «It got twisted and turned and it became its own beast, and I was like, 'Oh, my God.'» What Sweeney was trying to get across rather was how Levinson pays attention to boundaries.«It was more how respectful Sam is and how incredible of a director he is, that he would never make me do something I didn’t feel comfortable with,» she continued, before explaining that Cassie's nude scenes are integral to her storyline.«I think it’s important to the storyline and the character,» Sweeney stressed «There’s a purpose to what that character is going through.

That’s the character. We all get naked in real life. We show this character’s life and what they’re going through. Cassie’s body is a different form of communication for her.»A post shared by Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney)Sweeney's not the only star to speak about the use of nudity on the hit HBO Max series.Recently, Minka Kelly sat down for an interview with  and.
