Long before Apatow was known for Euphoria, it was her writing chops that made her the “spirit animal” of many extremely online teenage girls. I could overthink it for hours, so I just have to be like, ‘OK, trust that the director knows what he’s doing and he’s not going to do me dirty.’” “ I just have to surrender to the fact that I don’t have any control. “My dad always told me that the more you can learn how to things for yourself, the more control you’ll have,” Apatow says of one of the many reasons she’s stuck with the craft. And she writes, the creative outlet that’s been her anchor since childhood. She meticulously plans out her days and organizes her workload in a hardcover planner - including windows for sleep. She’s developed a few coping mechanisms that help when she finds herself becoming a “stress case.” She seeks refuge in reality TV, favoring the “pretty hardcore” installations of the genre, like Love After Lockup. I love singing.”Įmporio Armani top and pants, L’Academie bra, Jennifer Fisher earrings, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes But being in musicals is my favorite thing ever. “I’ve never been one to post singing videos on Instagram or anything. “I posted on Instagram and everyone was like, ‘Can she sing?’” Apatow says. Some would rather cry “nepo baby” - as the daughter of director Judd Apatow and actor Leslie Mann, she’s been asked about the title ad nauseam - than actually reckon with her genuine talent, like the dexterity that enabled her to anchor Euphoria’s two-episode-long play that served as the season’s emotional climax while also becoming the show’s most relatable romantic heroine. There’s also another concern rattling around in the expanses of the 25-year-old’s psyche: the chorus of people on social media who are eager to cast doubt on Apatow’s worthiness to play the starring role of Audrey. “When I auditioned before Christmas, they told me I had two weeks going to New York. I’m like a stress case today,” she tells Bustle. In less than 24 hours, Apatow will be making moves towards her own theater debut - uprooting her life from Los Angeles to New York City to begin rehearsals for the off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors. Yet, on set for her new campaign as one of the faces of Armani Beauty’s Gen A initiative, Maude Apatow is still emanating the same apprehensive, anxious energy that her Euphoria character, Lexi, did during the premiere of her funhouse mirror of a debut play. There isn’t a single overworked stage manager, gyrating high school actor, or audience member asking “ Is this f*cking play about us” in sight.
