Sydney Sweeney shared the complimentary response she received from her grandparents about her nude scenes in HBO's "Euphoria" during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday.

Sweeney — who plays Cassie Howard in the hit HBO show— told DeGeneres that she invited her entire family — including her grandparents — to the season two premiere of the hit HBO series.

"I was like, 'It's a Hollywood premiere. You gotta come.' We were all sitting next to each other and... giant screen, ginormous screen,"  Sweeney said, adding, "I wasn't thinking, I was so excited!"

DeGeneres quickly interjected to ask Sweeney how her grandparents responded to her nude scenes in the show, to which she replied: "They said I have the best tits in Hollywood."

 

Earlier this year, Sydney Sweeney told Cosmopolitan that she doesn't think people respected her acting ability until she appeared in the HBO drama "The White Lotus" because she had topless scenes in "Euphoria."

"I don't think as many people took me seriously in 'Euphoria' because I took my shirt off," Sweeney told the outlet. "With 'The White Lotus,' all of a sudden, all these people came out of the woodwork like, 'You're the most amazing…' and I'm like, But I went through the craziest emotional roller coaster in 'Euphoria.' So, thanks?"

Later during the same interview, Sweeney said that she feels detached from her nude scenes in TV shows and films because they are technical exercises rather than intimate moments.

"I'm so disconnected from it," Sweeney said. "When you film one of these scenes, it is so technical and so not romantic. There are people staring at you, there's pads between you, there's nipple covers and weird sticker thongs all up in your butt."

The finale for "Euphoria" season two premiered in late February. Earlier that month, Variety reported the show had been renewed for a third season.
