Euphoria season three has already given viewers plenty to discuss, and one of the show’s newest faces has now claimed a much more explicit scene from his cameo never made it to air.
Vinnie Hacker, who rose to fame on TikTok before joining the HBO drama, appeared in the latest episode as Ricky D, a content creator at an influencer-filled house party.
The scene saw Maddy take Cassie to the party as part of her attempt to promote her OnlyFans account, with Ricky D briefly appearing after being named Content Creator of the Month.
However, fans were quick to point out just how short Hacker’s appearance actually was.

Despite months of speculation after his casting was confirmed earlier this year, the 23-year-old was only on screen for a few seconds, with many viewers saying they almost missed him entirely.
Now, Hacker has addressed the reaction in a TikTok video, joking that his nude scenes had been removed from the episode.
Hacker said: “I had so many nude scenes, and they cut them all out. All of them…Full frontal, dick out, balls out, everything.”
“All of my nude scenes, they’re all gone. They just cut them all out. Oh my God, I had so many."
The video appeared to be a tongue-in-cheek response to the online reaction surrounding his brief cameo, rather than a serious complaint about the final edit.
Hacker was still recognisable in the episode, largely because of the large angel tattoo across his back, but his role was far smaller than some fans had expected.
When his casting was first announced, viewers began speculating about how he would fit into the drama’s long-awaited third season.
Given Euphoria’s reputation for graphic storylines, intense party scenes, and complicated relationships, many had assumed his character could play a more significant part in the show’s latest run.
Instead, Ricky D’s appearance seemed to be more of a short guest spot than the beginning of a major storyline. The reaction comes as Euphoria continues to dominate conversation online, with fans picking apart every detail from the new episodes.
Season three has already introduced several new characters alongside returning cast members, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and Hunter Schafer.
Hacker is also among a group of high-profile guest stars appearing this season, with the show bringing in a number of recognisable names as its storylines move forward. It remains unclear whether Ricky D will return later in the season.
