Avid series viewers probably know Maude Apatow mainly from the hit drama Euphoria (2019– )but the 26-year-old actress is also a member of a creative family. Father Judd Apatow is a well-known filmmaker, and that’s partly why Maude was already in The King of Staten Island (2020) to see. In recent years, a fire has clearly been lit in Apatow junior, because the series star will make his debut as a director in the near future.
Childhood friend
In Euphoria Apatow plays Lexi Howard, a bright and relatively shy high school student and the sister of the more eye-catching Cassie (Sydney Sweeney). As a childhood friend of Rue, she good-naturedly tries to keep an eye on things while the girl struggles with her addiction. Maude was on the set of at a very young age The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005) and was later seen in, among others This Is 40 (2012) in Other People (2016).
Menage-a-trois
Father Judd is married to Leslie Mann, and Mann is among the stars who have pledged their collaboration on Maude’s upcoming directorial debut. The actress takes after her father with Poetic Licensea relationship drama about a former therapist who attracts the attention of two boy friends. Liz is forced to reexamine her life choices as the two college graduate friends compete for her affection.
In addition to Leslie Mann, Andrew Barth Feldman (No Hard Feelings (2023)), Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza (2021)) a Nico Parker (The Last of Us (2023– )) play in the film. What roles they will play has not yet been officially confirmed, but it is obvious that Barth Feldman and Hoffman will be the two friends and the lead role will be for Parker.
Earlier this year, Maude Apatow started the production company Jewelbox Pictures with childhood friend Olivia Rosenbloom. Poetic License will be their first project.
