Hunter Schafer Shares How Her Transition Experience Influenced Her Euphoria Character
![On working with the Euphoria cast and crew: "I don't know if I've ever worked closer with anyone than Zendaya on Euphoria. It was such an extensive process, and a very intimate one. And also Sam Levinson, [the creator], who helped me get to those places I hadn't been since I was a teenager."
On her transition experience, which inspired her Euphoria character: "It didn't feel natural at first. Part of surviving was just getting through sh*t, letting it rest, and not addressing it. I think that's what I had been [doing] up to that point: just going and going, fighting to be on the other side of my transition. There was so much that I was working toward, and I was so excited to [be out of] North Carolina that I don't think I'd ever looked back on [that experience]."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/ZHEMaNFKHg6ZOhFKtEY-UhpNnvY/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2020/02/20/724/n/1922398/d8efd17ead74e1c6_V124_-_Image_1/i/On-working-with-Euphoria-cast-crew-I-dont-know-if-Ive.jpg "On working with the Euphoria cast and crew: \"I don't know if I've ever worked closer with anyone than Zendaya on Euphoria.
