'I think having some sense of community, even on a super-safe space like our set, it’s really important.' Hunter Schafer discusses what it was like having a trans consultant on the set of Euphoria
as Jules Vaughn, and on Sunday night's fourth episode, the show dives into her character's past and current traumas.
Her backstory is really emotional and not something that I necessarily expected when reading the first three episodes. I was really curious as to how that formed her into the person we’re introduced to at the beginning of the series. Talking to Sam [Levinson, . As we’ve said as a cast before, each character is, in some ways, different facets of Sam and I think Sam brought a really potent moment of his childhood into Jules’ backstory.
As a trans woman yourself, why was it important to you to shape this character and have this deep, emotional backstory? I think she understands the parallels between her life and her search for that feeling that she can often only find in hotel rooms with these other men, and that they’re looking for the same thing. And while her experience with Cal might not have been great, I don’t think she’d use him that much differently than any other man she’s hooked up with, until she’s made the connection that he’s Nate’s dad.
Your character has had some fairly intense sex scenes so far this season, especially with Dane's character. How were those to shoot and how did having an intimacy coordinator on set help with those moments? Yeah he was on set, Scott, he was on set usually when I had a scene where something about my trans identity would be more prevalent or he felt that I might need him there. And he was always available to me, I could always ask him to be there if I wanted him there.
