Hunter Schafer’s portrayal of Jules on HBO’s hit show Euphoria made her a star and it also developed a special friendship.

Together with Zendaya, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of Rue, the two delivered powerful performances that took a deep and dark look at life for a group of high school students as they dealt with drugs, sex, and violence. The dramatic endeavor proved to be a unique bonding experience for the actresses as revealed in Schafer’s cover story interview for the December/January issue of December/January issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

The first time Schafer was met, he answered the question. Dune actress said, “Knowing that she was so young and so much of this was new to her, my thing was being as much of a big sister as I could… What we do for a living is important, but the friendship we share is more important.”

Schafer speaks out about the way life is imitated by the art. Blurred lines between actors and characters make for a more complex character, I believe.
