When Ellen DeGeneres asked him if he knew about the naked scenes beforehand, he said he had “no choice.”
“It’s like every scene is like he sleeps with this person, he does this with this person naked,” he replied.

Unlike some of his previous projects, which required his character to go the mall topless, going nude on Euphoria made sense.
He reasoned that it was in line with the story’s context and his character, Nate’s persona, who is an “ultra-masculine, macho jock.”
The Australian actor noted that they had an intimacy coordinator on set who made sure they were comfortable with the scenes they were doing.
As for how comfortable he was, Elordi shared that he had been working with the same cast and production crew since season one, and it felt like “getting naked in front of your family.”
In response to that, DeGeneres joked, “Which also is weird... Just to let you know, in this country, that’s weird. I don’t know about Australia.”
