Sydney Sweeney told ‘SNL’ co-star she didn’t need an intimacy coordinator for sex sketch: “I’m on ‘Euphoria'”
nme.comSydney Sweeney told her SNL cast mate Bowen Yang that she didn’t need an intimacy coordinator for their sex scene, because she’s used to far more explicit stuff on Euphoria.On Tuesday’s episode The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the gay comedian said the strangest experience he’s had on the long-running series over the last six years was pretending to be straight for an intimate scene with Sweeney.“One of the weirdest was something I only have myself to blame for,” Yang said. “We wrote a sketch called ‘Bowen’s Straight’ where… I exerted my range, I played a heterosexual version of myself seducing Sydney Sweeney.”Admitting that he was charmed by Sweeney off camera, he said: “She is such a good, committed actor that she made me believe she’s in love with me.
And that was the craziest feeling.”The sketch, which aired while Sweeney was hosting the show on March 2, sees the pair enjoy a brief fling after she discovers that Yang only “plays gay on the show because it’s a shortcut to laughs.”The pair then have sex, but ultimately go their separate ways after Yang reveals that he can’t date her because he has to “keep up appearances with the whole gay thing,” adding, “It’s sort of my meal ticket.”Yang explained that he spoke to Sweeney about their “love scene” prior to filming. “I was like, ‘Hey, if at any point you’re uncomfortable, we have an intimacy coordinator there.
You can tap out at any time if you’re not feeling it, like, no problem. We just want you to feel safe and secure and all that,’” he recalled.
