‘Euphoria’ Star Dominic Fike Reveals Nearly 2-Year-Old Son
Dominic Fike, the actor known for Euphoria, has revealed he is the father of a son named Rocket. The child is nearly two years old. Fike discussed fatherhood in recent interviews.
How fatherhood has changed him
Fike told Filmogaz.com that becoming a parent has altered his priorities. He said fatherhood motivates him to be more stable and sober.
He described wanting to write music for his child’s generation. He also mentioned plans to secure property and stay close to friends so his son has companions growing up.
On reputation and responsibility
Fike said he is conscious about his public image. He wants to attend school meetings without controversy.
That concern has led him to scale back partying. He added that his son influences decisions about lifestyle and long-term planning.
Acting on Euphoria and struggles with substance use
Fike made his first major acting appearance on Euphoria in season two. He played Elliot, a character who struggles with substance abuse.
He told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that the role required confronting his own history with drugs. Sam Levinson, the show’s writer and director, arranged a sober coach during filming.
Fike said the support did not always work. He acknowledged he was still dealing with significant substance problems during parts of the shoot.
Current outlook
Fike said he does not party the way he once did now that he is a father. He framed parenthood as a stabilizing force in his life.
When to watch
Season three of Euphoria is scheduled to begin airing on April 12 on HBO. It will also stream on HBO Max.
