Why? In true Euphoria fashion, it’s thanks to his gasp-worthy full frontal nudity in the first episode of the scandalous show’s second season, which streams on Binge. After fans came after him on Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit assuming his package must have been a prosthetic, Pierce finally came forward with his own story: Yes, the shot is fully of his body. No, that’s not a prosthetic.In the scene, US actress Sydney Sweeney’s character Cassie hides in a bathroom before she can get caught by Maddie (Alexa Demie). When Cassie finally frees herself, climbing out of the tub, she sees a high school boy sitting on the toilet, fully-exposed. While she exits, covering her eyeline, he tells her she’s “really hot,” but he’s “still gonna take a s***. Sorry.”Taking to TikTok, Pierce said: “All right, so we’re sitting at about one day since Euphoria premiered … First off, Sam [Levinson]: best director I’ve ever worked with. Absolute visionary. Best show in the world. Shout-out to Sam.”And with that, Pierce addresses the elephant in the room.“Second: yes, that is me in the bathroom,” Pierce clarifies. “Not a prosthetic, got a lot of questions!”Pierce takes all the hubbub like a champ, though, excited for all the fame that’s come his way after a mere 20 seconds of screen time on the hit HBO drama.“And y’all are f**king hilarious, dude,” Pierce continues in the clip. “The amount of TikToks, tweets, the f**king Reddit board that’s analysing every little piece of the scene. This is mind-blowing. I’m laughing my arse off over here. So, please, if you find funny tweets, anything referencing this s***, send it my way. This is making my entire f**king day. I am cracking up right now.”Stream Euphoria season 2 on BINGE. New customers get a 14-day free trial.
