If<\/em> While season 3 of Euphoria will be HBO’s last show (at the time of publishing this article, nothing has been confirmed), it’s definitely arriving with a bang and sparing no expense with A-list cameos. It stars Lexie’s showrunner boss Patty Lance, played by Sharon Stone; the shiny neck brace-wearing stripper Magic of the Silver Slipper, played by Rosalia; Alamo Brown’s henchman G, played by former NFL pro Marshawn Lynch; Brown’s mother, played by Danielle Deadwyler; Trisha Paytas as herself; And this week’s notable introduction features a flashback with Colman Domingo’s Ali, an intelligent prostitute played by Natasha Lyonne.<\/p>\n

Lyonne’s role in Sam Levinson’s gritty drama has been kept a secret since her casting was announced last October. Even representatives from HBO remained tight-lipped on details in the days leading up to the episode’s release on Sunday. When we spoke to Leone two weeks ago, it wasn’t surprising that the actress, writer, director and producer were also tight-lipped for fear of entering spoiler territory. But that didn’t stop Lyonne, who was headed to Cannes the next morning, from revealing to Who What Wear the fun and serendipitous story behind how her busy guest role came to be.<\/p>\n

I met Sam at Colman Domingo’s private dinner for (his film) rustin<\/em>And we immediately shut it down. We spent the time after dinner sitting on a small sofa in the exact same area. Sam is fantastic, and we have a lot of touchpoints that basically make us double over laughing. By the end of the story, it became a running joke between me, Coleman, and Sam for probably a year how important it was that Coleman and I got a chance to do this this season. Excitement<\/em>. But it made no sense. None of us thought this was actually happening. It was definitely a running joke between the three of us over text messages for a year, and then all of a sudden, I got a text from Sam saying, “Okay, it’s going to happen next week, Natasha.” And it was just like, “Okay, sure, Sam. I’ll see you there.”<\/p>\n
