When Euphoria<\/em> creator<\/a> Sam Levinson<\/strong> wanted Minka Kelly<\/strong> to sign up to play Samantha, a glamorous woman who Maddy (Alexa Demie<\/strong>) befriends, as she babysits her son, she had no idea what she was getting herself into.<\/p>\n

“It was actually so vague,” she said of her part. Despite having no details, the Friday Night Lights<\/em> star accepted the offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter our first day working together, [show creator Levinson] said, \u2018I want you to be the older, wiser version of [Maddy],\u2019\u201d she recalled. \u201cI was like, \u2018Yes, please! I love that. I see so much of myself in this girl<\/a>.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018Sam Levinson knows who I am<\/a>?\u2019\u201d she continued. \u201cTo be invited on one of your favorite shows is such a surreal thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelly was only supposed to be on one episode, but after seeing her chemistry with Demie<\/a>, he rewrote new dialogue between the two of them, including one scene in episode 6 where the two ladies bond over their high school experiences.<\/p>\n

During the chat, Maddy tells Samantha that her best friend Cassie<\/a> (Sydney Sweeney<\/strong>) has been seeing her ex-boyfriend Nate (Jacob Elordi<\/strong>) behind her back. Unfortunately, Samantha admits that she was Cassie when she was younger and now she no longer speaks to her best friend.<\/p>\n

During the scene in which Maddy and Samantha are in the pool, Kelly admits the water was “freezing.”<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time they yelled, \u2018Cut!\u2019 I was shivering again,” she shared, adding that between takes, she would get shot with warm water. \u201c[Alexa] was so sweet, making sure that I stayed warm. She was just so considerate<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

For her part, the young starlet had a blast collaborating with Kelly.<\/p>\n

“It honestly was so nice to work with her. She’s so kind and grounded and smart, and she’s very present and she’s a good listener, which is what I think her character also needed to be for Maddy<\/a>,” she said. “When they’re having their heart to hearts, she’s really listening to Maddy and she’s really guiding her. And so that just felt very serene, and Maddy hasn’t had a lot of serene moments, so it felt different than anything she’s ever experienced for sure. It gave her a bit of light and hope.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32465,"featured_media":50173,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[4054,23,3925],"yoast_head":"\nMinka Kelly Didn't Know Much About 'Euphoria' Role<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Actress Minka Kelly admitted that she didn't know much about her 'Euphoria' role until she signed on and accepted the offer.
