Euphoria's Dominic Fike isn't sure if Elliot will join season 3
Dominic Fike isn't so sure Elliot will be seen Euphoria season 3.
“I don't really talk to them anymore,” Fike, 28, said Variety when asked if he would return for the upcoming third season. 'But that's dope, who knows? I have things to do.'
On his list of things to do is promote his new movie Little death, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The actor plays the character who struggles with addiction in the film, directed by Jack Begertand costarring David Schwimmer, Gaby Hofmann And Talia Ryder.
“I've done that before, like I was acting like a drug addict,” Fike said. “I'm a pretty big drug addict myself, believe it or not. But when I was on Euphoria, they basically just gave me a coach who just wanted to talk to you. It was just a random lady. Jack is one of my best friends, so that obviously made it a lot easier.”
Fike described the down-to-earth companion as “a random lady I would never have a relationship with. We had nothing in common. We didn't come from the same places or the same problems. It was hard to take advice or give anything from someone like that.”
It's understood the “Elliot's Song” singer opened up about his struggles with addiction during filming Euphoria season 2.
“I mean, I was a drug addict and it was very difficult to go on a show that was mainly about drugs,” Fike said in a July 2023 interview with Zane Lowe from Apple Music. “Sam [Levinson], the director and writer, has provided me with a down-to-earth coach, someone who is always there and who knows you. Did not work. … I was so confused for a lot of that show. It was really bad.”
He relapsed while filming the Emmy-winning HBO series and admitted to being high while filming some scenes. “I was reprimanded for it. I almost know you got kicked off the show,” Fike added. “They said, 'Bro, you can't do this.'”
Several of Hollywood's biggest stars have opened up about their sobriety journeys over the years. Kelly Osbourne, who previously spoke about being sober for six years, revealed in April 2021 that she had relapsed and was working on next steps. “I'm not proud of it. But I'm back on track,” she wrote via […]
Amid reports that Euphoria would start filming again this year, Jacob Elordi (who plays Nate Jacobs) admitted he had no idea when the cameras would start rolling.
“Don't know [when we resume filming]. Do you know?” Elordi, 26, joked during a performance The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this month. “I hope it's soon, otherwise they're going to have to call Benjamin Button me or something. I get a bad back just walking down the hall, you know?
Elordi mentioned a possible time jump, adding, “I assume we have to move forward, otherwise it will seem like a weird piece.”
