Here's what all of the Euphoria actors actually looked like when they were in high school! buzzfeed.com/hannahmarder/e…
Euphoria is one of the best teen shows I've seen in a long time — but let's face it, it's not always 100% realistic. One of the most unrealistic parts? How hot everyone is without a hint of teenage awkwardness. This is because all the actors are much older than their characters.
Zendaya is 25 IRL. Here's what she looks like playing 17-year-old Rue in Season 1 vs Zendaya as an actual 17-year-old.
Jules, who is played by 23-year-old Hunter Schafer. Here's Hunter playing 17-year-old Jules on Euphoria vs Hunter when she was actually 17.
24-year-old Sydney Sweeney plays Cassie. Here's Sydney playing the 18-year-old Cassie vs Sydney at 17.
Maude Apatow is 24. Here she is playing 16-year-old Lexi vs Maude when she was actually 16.
Jacob Elordi is also 24. Here he is playing 18-year-old Nate on the show vs Jacob when he was 17.
25-year-old Barbie Ferreira plays 17-year-old Kat. Here's what she looked like when she was actually 17.
Here's 25-year-old Austin Abrams playing 17-year-old Ethan vs Austin Abrams at 16.
Now we're getting into tricky territory. Here's 26-year-old Dominic Fike, who plays Elliot on the show. His character is probably about 17. The earliest photos I could find were from some old music videos — I believe he was in his early 20s here.
Another tough one is Alexa Demie, who plays 17-year-old Maddy. But we have absolutely no idea how old Alexa is, because she hasn't ever spoken about it. It seems like answers range from 25–30. This is the oldest picture we could find of her; it's from 2016.
