‘Euphoria’ Actor Admits to Filming While Under Influence of Drugs, Nearly Loses Role

Dominic Fike struggled with drug addiction while portraying a character in a show about drugs and was reprimanded for being intoxicated on set.
The show creator hired a sober coach to help Fike, but Fike continued using drugs and filming scenes while high.
Fike was nearly fired from the show for his drug use but was given another chance and has since become sober.
Fike praised his co-stars for their support during his struggles.
“Euphoria” has been criticized for glorifying teen drug use, though Fike said the show ultimately helped him get clean.
