00:00 Colman Domingo is addressing rumors that the set of Euphoria is a toxic work environment.

00:05 The Daily Beast published an expose in 2022 about the hit HBO show, in which a number

00:10 of anonymous sources made claims about 18-hour workdays and how the production failed to

00:15 provide meals or allow bathroom trips while filming.

00:18 HBO said there were never formal inquiries raised and that the well-being of cast and

00:22 crew is always a top priority.

00:24 In an interview with The Independent while promoting his new film, Rustin, Domingo explained

00:28 that the rumors about Euphoria's on-set environment may have come from younger, less-experienced

00:33 actors.

00:34 He said, "I'm not going to invalidate anyone's experience, but working in television is long

00:39 hours.

00:40 Sometimes you work up to 14 hours a day, and then you have to go home and prep.

00:44 You have to really live and work in a very methodical way.

00:47 A lot of young actors may not be up for the task or have that same work ethic."

00:51 He continued, "I've been in this business for 32 years.

00:54 I know what hard work is.

00:55 So when I heard those 'reports,' I thought, 'Where is this coming from?'

00:59 That's just a normal workday.

01:00 Be a professional."

01:01 The actor added that Euphoria creator Sam Levinson would not allow for any mistreatment

01:05 of his actors on set as he always advocates for them.
