In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 27-year-old actress shared her reaction when she watched the film together with her parents at its premiere. “It was hilarious,” she said. “They’ve all seen Euphoria, you know, so it’s not like our first rodeo or anything.”

“It was funny ‘cause, you know, obviously I’ve seen the movie many times so I know what’s coming, and they were all sitting behind me, and I got to, like, watch them watch and slowly just be like, ‘Oh god,’” she recalled.
