American actress Sydney Sweeney has been making waves in Hollywood recently. But her claim to fame is probably the hit HBO show, Euphoria, starring Zendaya in the lead. Playing the character of Cassie, Sweeney captured the hearts and mind of the audiences, and left them in complete awe of her.

In season two of the hit series, Sweeney played a pregnant version of her character Cassie. Her boyfriend, Nate, after a fight with Fez (played by the late actor Angus Cloud), in his delusions, fantasizes about marrying Cassie and starting a family with her. And to bring this fantasy to life, Sydney Sweeney had to go through some tough times.

Sydney Sweeney’s Pregnant Belly in Euphoria Season 2

To prepare for playing a pregnant Cassie, Sydney Sweeney had to make some adjustments. To make sure that her baby bump looked as real as possible, the team made sure the prosthetics used in Sweeney were perfectly placed. The actress posted many behind-the-scenes pictures on her Instagram feed, as well as posting stories detailing how it all went down.

“This belly was insane,” she wrote in the first story, showing Cassie’s pregnant belly. This was followed by another Insta story, where she detailed the process. “Had to do a full body cast so they could make the prosthetic belly,” Sweeney wrote, before adding, “They basically paper macheted me,” in the next (via Seventeen).

Though Cassie (or Sweeney) was not really pregnant, the prosthetics used on the actress looked very realistic. After the second season, the show took a break for almost 2 years, but Euphoria and its cast will be back with Season 3, most probably in 2025.
