Maude Apatow Reveals She Once Pulled Out One of Her Own Teeth for a Costume

Maude Apatow went to extreme lengths to prepare for one of her costumes growing up.

During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thursday (February 24), the Euphoria actress discussed the play her character Lexi put on during a recent episode and revealed she pulled out one of her own teeth as a child.

Seth began by playing a clip from the show and asked if Maude could relate to her character’s enthusiasm for theater.

“Of course,” she replied. “[Creator] Sam [Levinson] and I had a lot of discussions about it beforehand and its loosely based on me as a ‘theater child.’”

“I started when I was really young. I remember I always really went for it too, I did like a Gold Rush day and I wanted to look like a miner so I ripped out my tooth,” she continued.

Seth asked if it was a loose tooth or not and Maude answered, “It was not a loose tooth at all. It was not ready to go, I just ripped it out… I think I was nine. But I was dedicated!”

The host then asked how Maude‘s parents Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann reacted to her pulling out a tooth.

“I think my dad was like, ‘What is wrong with her? We’ve raised a monster,’” she said. “And then it just got worse as I got older. I just became a tyrant.”

Maude revealed that she had actually gotten a few texts from people who saw her performance as Lexi and were “triggered” by how much it reminded them of her. Check out the full interview down below!
