His character, Elliot, has been shaking things up already, with episode 3 hinting that he may wind up in a love triangle with the series’ central characters, Rue (Zendaya) and Jules (HunterSchafer). Up until his appearance on Euphoria, however, Fike was mostly known for his singing career, which has included some pretty high-profile collaborations. Read on for everything we know about Euphoria star Dominic Fike.
Who does Dominic Fike play on Euphoria?
Fike stars as Elliot, a new student who meets Rue at a New Year’s Eve party where the pair do drugs together. Their friendship has evolved from there, leaving her girlfriend Jules suspicious that he may see her as more than a friend. While Fike is now sober in real life, he told Variety that the character reminds him of his younger self. “I don’t have to do much acting,” he said at the time. “He’s exactly like me. It’s st I would say and st I would do.”
How did Dominic Fike end up on Euphoria?
We actually came close to seeing Fike in the first season of Euphoria, but things didn’t end up working out. He told Variety that he’d auditioned for the original season and made it to the final round of hopefuls before his character was written out of the script. HBO reached out to him again a year later with the bigger role of Elliot.
What does Dominic Fike sing?
Fike released his debut album Don’t Forget About Me, Demos, in 2018, featuring his platinum-selling hit “3 Nights,” which also made Barack Obama’s best-of playlist for 2019. (Fike told NME about the former president’s recommendation of his music, “Oh man, that’s crazy, right? Boy, my momma is proud. I don’t even know what possessed him to put me on his playlist.”) After signing with Columbia Records, he followed it up with his second album, What Could Possibly Go Wrong, in 2020. “I wish I could edit it every day. It’s never done,” he told NME of his latest release. “But I’m tired of trying to be like: ‘Man, this is my masterpiece.’ It’s my first crack at this album s**t: it was fun, I had a great time and I can’t wait to keep doing it and get better at it. I hope I delivered: we’ll see!”
What Justin Bieber song is Dominic Fike on?
Fike’s singing career has had its fair share of star power, including a collaboration with Justin Bieber. He was featured on the single “Die for You” from Bieber’s 2021 album, Justice. Fike has since called the pop phenom a “harmony master.” A duet with Bieber isn’t the only time he’s joined forces with household names, however, as he also featured on Brockhampton’s 2021 single “Count on Me” alongside Lil Nas X. Both starred in the accompanying music video, which included a scene of the “Old Town Road” singer sharing a kiss with Fike.
Has Dominic Fike acted before?
Despite his successful singing career, Euphoria marks his first acting appearance. However, with the buzz he’s been generating lately, it likely won’t be his last. “It’s become a second career,” Fike told Variety about acting. “Now I don’t have to do TikTok, is how I look at it.”
How old is Dominic Fike?
As of Euphoria’s Season 2 premiere, Dominic Fike is 26 years old, meaning—as is the case with most Euphoria stars—he’s much older in real life than his high school character.
Does Dominic Fike have siblings?
Fike has a brother Alex, a sister Apollonia and an older brother Sean. Musical talent seems to run in the Fike family, as his brother Alex (who goes by ALX) is a musician himself. In a joint interview with i-D Magazine, Dominic said a Fike brothers boy band might be happening “sooner rather than later.” When asked what “stamps of approval” they were hoping to earn in the music industry, both brothers said they aspire to be on the cover of Rolling Stone one day.
Is Dominic Fike dating Hunter Schafer?
Just as it seems Elliot and Jules might get tangled up in a love triangle, Fike and Schafer are sparking dating rumors IRL. The pair were photographed holding hands outside of The Nice Guy in West Hollywood, Calif. in January 2022 What’s more, an eyewitness told celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi that the two were “kissing” and “dancing” inside the restaurant before they were joined by some of their castmates. The pair has yet to confirm or address the rumors. Fike’s Euphoria co-stars aren’t the only HBO stars he’s hanging out with as of late, however, as he also posted an Instagram Story smooching Gossip Girl reboot star Evan Mock in January 2022.
Who has Dominic Fike dated?
Fike previously dated Booksmart star Diana Silvers. The pair reportedly made their relationship Instagram-official in August 2020. Silvers also chimed in during his April 2021 GQ interview. When the pair were asked what they wanted to do together once the world opened up, Fike told her, “I want you to come to one of my shows and I want to go to one of your premieres. Just cute s**t like that.” While it’s unclear exactly when they split, Fike had reportedly removed all of his Instagram photos of her by July 2021.
How many tattoos does Dominic Fike have?
As Euphoria fans have no doubt noticed, Fike has a pretty extensive ink collection, which he doesn’t cover up on-screen (it is “Euphoria High,” after all). Although it’s unclear exactly how many tattoos he has, the star’s permanent designs span his arms, hands, stomach and face. He’s shared the meanings behind only a few of his tattoos, including the acronym “LBE” on his forehead (yes, those face tattoos are real). The design is a nod to his old rap collective, Lame Boys ENT. It’s not his only music-related design, however, as he also has a detailed portrait of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist John Frusciante’s face on his right hand. Perhaps his most discussed design, however? The apple logo below his eye. The design was originally the brainchild of his brother ALX, who told i-D Magazine he was “glad” he didn’t go through with the design himself. Fike, however, has even scored a free phone since getting the tech logo inked. He added to the magazine, “It worked out. Respectable girls don’t hate me. I like it. And Apple just sent me the new iPhone, the 13.” Despite the brand’s endorsement, Fike previously told Complex that the design is actually a tribute to his sister’s name.
