Storm Reid knows she can always lean on him Euphoria costar Zendaya when she needs help – and honesty.
On the latest episode of PEOPLE Every Day podcast, Reid opened up about the relationship he developed with his TV sister.
“I always go to him for advice,” he said Missing Actress, 19. “He’s always very honest, very blunt, very loving, respectful. But he still tells you how he feels. And I like that because I’m a blunt, straight guy. It’s about extra fluff and, you know, get right to it.”
Reid plays Zendaya’s sister Georgia “Gia” Bennett Euphoria. Although the characters in the popular HBO drama often share themes, the evolution of the two is far from this.
