Jacob Elordi Leads Adorable 'Euphoria' Cast's Reactions To Zendaya's Emmy Win

From ELLE

There were plenty of incredible reactions to Zendaya becoming the youngest woman, and the second Black woman, to win the Emmy for Best Actress in a Drama on Sunday evening.

There was Zendaya's own meme-worthy celebration, her dad jumping for joy, fellow nominees Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Oh's supportive reactions and now her fellow Euphoria co-stars.

Storm Reid, who plays Zendaya's on-screen sister, shared a video of herself jittery with nerves - and repeatedly instructing her barking dog to be quiet - before the winner was announced by host Jimmy Kimmel.

When Zendaya's name was read from the envelope, Reid literally jumped for joy and shrieked with excitement before shouting at the camera: 'Congratulations, I love you!'

Hunter Schafer, who previously spoke to ELLE about her character Jules' relationship with Rue, had a similar reaction to Reid while watching the awards show live only to scream with delight when Zendaya's name was announced.

Jacob Elordi, who plays Nate in the show, and has previously been romantically linked to Zendaya (though it now seems the pair are just friends) also shared his thoughts.

The Australian actor shared a photo of Zendaya as her character Rue, writing: 'Congratulations Captain. Bravo,' with heart emojis.

Sydney Sweeney - who plays Cassie - also shared a photo of her co-star on Emmy's night wearing that beautiful Armani gown, as well as airing her thoughts on Twitter:

Maude Apatow - who plays the long-time best friend of Rue, Lexi, and sister to Sweeney's character Cassie - summed up her feelings in a few words writing: 'F*** YES' with multiple exclamation marks next to a picture of the news.

British artist Labrinth, who composed the musical score for the HBO show, was another Emmy winner for Euphoria, taking away the award for 'Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics'. He also congratulated his co-star on her history-making accolade:

Barbie Ferreira, who plays Kat, showed the extreme lengths she was going to in order to support Zendaya, taking to her Instagram Stories to show her FaceTiming her friend who had access to the Emmy's stream so she could watch the results.

That's dedication right there.

This mass show of support should keep Euphoria fans happy for the time being. As Apatow told ELLE in June, the cast were ready and raring to go for season two when filming was halted due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Season 2 is now expected to resume filming next year.
