Dominic Fike, the multifaceted talent known for his music and acting prowess, took fans on an emotional rollercoaster during his stint on Euphoria’s second season. The 28-year-old singer and actor, portraying the troubled character Elliot, recently shared the challenges he faced while navigating the complex world of the HBO series. In particular, Dominic shed light on his struggles with addiction and the shortcomings of the sober coach provided on set.
In a candid interview back in July 2023, Dominic revealed that Euphoria’s creator, Sam Levinson, had enlisted a sober coach to assist him during filming. However, the attempt to provide support didn’t yield the desired results. “I was a drug addict, and coming onto a show that’s mainly about drugs is very difficult. Sam got me a sober coach, somebody to be there all the time. It did not work,” he shared with Zane Lowe.
Now, in a new interview with Variety, Dominic delves into the reasons behind the sober coach’s failure. The singer and actor expressed his frustration, describing the coach as “a random lady that I’d never relate to. We had nothing in common. We didn’t come from the same places or the same problems. It was hard to take advice from someone like that or give a sh-t.”
Dominic’s honesty about his struggles emphasizes the importance of tailored and relatable support systems, especially in environments as intense as a television set, where the lines between fiction and reality can blur.
As fans eagerly await the third season of Euphoria, the burning question remains: Will Dominic Fike return to the tumultuous world of the show? In his conversation with Variety, Dominic revealed his mixed feelings about a potential return, stating, “It would be dope” if he received an offer. However, he tempered this optimism by admitting, “I don’t really talk to them anymore.”
The uncertainty surrounding Dominic’s return adds an extra layer of intrigue to the anticipation for Euphoria Season 3. Will Elliot’s character continue to unfold, or has Dominic’s journey with the series come to an end? The unanswered question hangs in the air, leaving fans curious and eager for any tidbits about the upcoming season.
