Actor and musician Dominic Fike has revealed that he almost got “kicked out” of “Euphoria” for being under the influence of drugs during filming.
The 27-year-old admitted to “shooting high scenes” in an interview for Apple Music.
When asked about being on drugs while filming the hit HBO show, Fike confessed: “Oh my god, yeah dude.
“I was so rattling horny doing lots of this show,” he said. “It was really bad. I was reprimanded for it.”
He admitted that he “almost got fired from the show”.
The rising star said he was pulled aside by show creator Sam Levinson, who told him he couldn’t “do it” while filming on set.
Fike said it was “difficult” to be “a drug addict who appeared on a show about drugs”.

Fike said that Levinson hired a sober coach to assist him with the filming, but admitted it “didn’t work”.
Fike representatives didn’t immediately reply to The Post’s request for comment.
“Euphoria” has drawn criticism from some claiming that the show romanticizes drug use, but those related to the show have vehemently rejected these claims.
Levinson has recently been under scrutiny on his other HBO series, The Idol.
The show was accused of “The Worst Sex Scene Ever” and I was plagued by accusations of “rape fantasy”. and crushed by critics.
“The Idol” was shortened to only five episodes, despite originally being listed as a six-episode season.
