Maude Apatow Speaks on Fame from Euphoria

Euphoria star Maude Apatow not only took center stage in her character’s play Our Life but also on the front cover of L’Officiel Magazine. The actress was also featured in an interview with the French fashion magazine.

Apatow reached fame with her iconic character Lexi Howard. Season 2 of Euphoria revealed all kinds of surprises for the audience and Apatow herself. The 24-year-old actress, recognized for being the child of Hollywood stars Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, had an outstanding performance as one of the Howard sisters.

Fans couldn’t hide their excitement when the director of Euphoria, Sam Levinson, coupled up Lexi and Fezco. According to Apatow, she also found this unpredictable pair a surprise.

“Obviously people were very shocked by the romantic overtones between Lexi and Fez, the most unlikely duo, but I think it weirdly makes sense […] they’re sweet together. He’s so tough but also so sensitive, and she thinks he’s fascinating,” she stated.

Apatow talked about all the popularity that she gained from her character in the interview. The actress is still adjusting to all the fame and the Euphoria attention she’s receiving now.

“I can’t even really think about it, or else I get too nervous,” stated Apatow. “It’s crazy. I still can’t believe that so many people watch it. We shot the first season and we were like: Hopefully, it turns out well! Hopefully, people watch it! It still—I can’t even really think about it, or else I get too nervous. It scares me. But it’s so nice that people are so nice about it.”

The rising star also believes that Lexi is a version of herself. Although Apatow thinks that Lexi is a “way more neurotic, anxious version” of herself in high school, she empathizes with her character. Both Apatow and Lexi were aggressive theatre kids just trying to survive high school and the pressure that came with it.

And now, Apatow is portrayed on the front cover of a fashion magazine, looking beautiful on the very first pages. The stunning actress was styled by Ryan Young and photographed by Carlotta Kohl.
