Sharon Stone thinks Euphoria is the “greatest show on television”.
Sharon Stone is a huge Euphoria fan
The 68-year-old actress joined the cast of Euphoria, the hit HBO series, for season three of the show, and Sharon loves being part of the star-studded line-up, which also includes Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi.
Sharon told Variety: “I think it’s the greatest show on television.”
The actress revealed that she can really relate to some aspects of the show’s storyline.
She said: “We’ve met these kids. We’ve seen them turn into young adults. We’ve seen them turn into full-on drug dealers. And I’ve gone through it in my family. My brother went to the biggest prison in New York. He got in the drug business. It kept going. I was like, ‘You have to get out. You have to let me pay off your vig.’ He was like, ‘It doesn’t work like that. You can’t pay it off.'”
Sharon explained that Euphoria and the themes the show explores are “so relevant”.
She said: “So when the first episode ended, I just sat there and cried. And then I read these reviews about how people wanted it to be this happy ending, and I’m like, ‘What you saw was so honest’.
“Euphoria is so relevant. I believe it should be shown in every high school, and I think all the parents should have to see it. As a mom, I love it.”
Meanwhile, Mindy Kaling previously admitted to being a huge fan of Euphoria – but the actress doubts she could write a similar type of TV show.
Mindy – who co-created the sports comedy Running Point – told The Hollywood Reporter: “I love Euphoria and I think [creator] Sam [Levinson] is like a genius. I think he has a lot to say about things like sex and drug use and addiction and those are incredibly interesting, but we don’t have a ton of experience in that.
“I watch that show on the edge of my seat, vicariously, but I feel like nerds lusting over guys is more what we feel comfortable writing about so that’s why we do this. We write about strivers and dorks and people who are underestimated.”
