Euphoria Star Once Ripped Out Her Own Tooth For A Role
Euphoria star Maude Apatow reveals that she ripped out one of her teeth for a role back when she was a kid. The HBO show, which was created by Sam Levinson and is based on the Israeli miniseries of the same name, originally premiered on HBO on June 19, 2019. Now, with Euphoria season 2 having premiered earlier this year, the show has become pop culture's newest hit teen series. Not only has the show thrived despite its COVID-related delay between seasons, but it has also grown beyond the already wild popularity of season 1.
