Christin Byrdsong has outed himself as the lucky Euphoria actor who filmed a rimming scene with Eric Dane, who plays Cal Jacobs.
As ever, Euphoria got viewers talking thanks to yet another unexpected sex scene in its second season, which saw Nate’s dad, Cal, rimming a mystery bottom in the first six minutes of the second episode.
Fans soon started tweeting their amused reactions to the sight of the former Grey’s Anatomy star acting out the intimate scene, with his co-star Byrdsong quick to step forward and identify himself in a series of posts.
“There are two darkskin characters in Euphoria and one of them was getting they butt ate by Nate’s dad as an extra,” one viewer commented, to which Byrdsong replied: “PERIOOOOOOOODDDTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! ??? living my dreams and collecting my coins!!!”
The dream was to work on this amazing show, with the incredible director, and multitalented actors. And I got to film fake sex scene with a childhood crush/actor inspiration! #Euphoria #Manifesting https://t.co/TCGTOFCzN3

Byrdsong also explained exactly how the moment of anilingus was captured on camera as he confirmed that the pair worked together with an intimacy coordinator, and that a special piece of equipment was used.
The actual filming was incredibly professional. Totally fake. A piece was built by the intimacy coach to go between his face & my butt. Super chill & professional. Been a fan of Eric since I was 9. Acting since 3. Truly a milestone for me. We are coached and safe.— Christin Byrdsong (@C_Byrdsong) January 17, 2022

He said that when he got into position to film the Euphoria rimming scene, “they asked if I was comfortable. I said ‘dreams really do come true’. The set burst into laughter.
“That’s the hashtag lol like I filmed on an incredible show with an incredible director and an actor I admire and I got paid. That’s the dream.”

Byrdsong isn’t the only extra to find themselves going viral thanks to Euphoria this season.
Ansel Pierce caused a stir after flashing his penis in the season two premiere.
Pierce took to TikTok to make it clear that his penis was the real deal.
“Yes, that is me in the bathroom. Not a prosthetic. Got a lot of questions… and y’all are hilarious, dude,” he said in a video. “The amount of TikToks, tweets, the f**king message boards analysing every little piece of the scene is mind-blowing.
He continued: “I’m laughing my ass off over here… This is making my entire f**king day, I am cracking up right now.”
Euphoria season two continues Sundays on HBO Max and Mondays on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
