Zendaya explains THAT dramatic scene from the last episode of Euphoria

Following the premiere of the recent episode of Euphoria, Zendaya was filled with applause for her dramatic performance.

Now, Zendaya has given details about the filming of the recent premiere. On the occasion, she confirmed that it was one of the most difficult chapters to record and that it had a strong emotional weight on her. However, she stressed the importance of the story and her character.

What did Zendaya say?

The fifth episode of the second season of Euphoria, Stand Still Like the Hummingbird, saw Zendaya in some of her most dramatic scenes. Throughout the episode, she has strong clashes with the rest of the characters, where Rue tells all the truths that she had been keeping to herself.

Among the highlights is her tense fight with her mother, in an introduction of almost 20 minutes. Also, Rue and Jules (Hunter Schafer) reach a critical point in their relationship with no apparent turning back. All of this led to widespread acclaim for Zendaya, who reveals how difficult this episode was.

In conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Zendaya reflected on the Euphoria episode and what it meant to Rue. "It was so intense and scary to do, and obviously very emotionally and physically draining," the actress said.

As she explains, since season one she had been preparing this episode where she would run throughout the city and that she would end up in her catharsis. "In the whole episode, there's a lot of pain and she's coming to the surface and it's also intersecting with her withdrawal, which is extremely painful," Zendaya continued.

"In many ways, she feels like she's out of control. She does not have the ability to control her emotions or her body », adds Zendaya about the chapter that sees her facing some of the characters closest to her.

Despite the drama of the chapter, Zendaya remains optimistic about the future of Euphoria. "I think if we can care about her after this, I hope that can be extended to real people, that we are more understanding and empathetic about what addictions do to people," she concluded.
