After wowing audiences with its wild second season, the HBO authentic sequence Euphoria has turn into such an enormous hit that Maude Apatow, who performs Lexi on the present, has turn into an even bigger identify than her father, acclaimed comedy director Judd Apatow. No less than with the present’s viewers, anyway, and the elder Apatow is completely wonderful with it. In reality, he says that’s the plan.
Whereas sitting down with The Final Snort podcast, the Knocked Up director recalled his first expertise with seeing Maude’s fame eclipse his personal on social media. By way of The Every day Beast:
“I went on-line and I checked out my Twitter feed and I noticed that my identify was trending and the primary tweet was one thing like ‘Judd Apatow is Maude’s dad?!’” the legendary comedy director tells me on this preview from subsequent week’s one hundred and fiftieth episode of The Final Snort podcast. “After which another person was like, ‘Who the fuck is Judd Apatow?’ After which another person was like, ‘He’s a director!’ After which that particular person stated, ‘Nicely, I don’t know each nerdy indie director.’ After which another person was like, ‘He’s not an indie director. He did Knocked Up!’”
In fact, like several proud mother or father, Apatow couldn’t be extra thrilled of Maude’s work on Euphoria, which he self-deprecatingly jokes is directed higher than something he’s ever put out.
“You’re presupposed to surpass your dad and mom,” Apatow stated. “You need to be the higher model. In order that’s already occurred and I’m very excited for her.”
