Hunter Schafer still has some boxes to unpack. Just a few months ago, the 25-year-old actress and model bought her first home in Los Angeles, then quickly left town to advertise her role within the film The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. As he shows me around, the home stays half-furnished, with framed artworks, including: Paris is burning poster leaning against the partitions. In the room that can turn into Schafer’s art studio, the ground is suffering from boxes crammed with her old journals, in addition to piles of garments and books and a life-size, neon green skeleton. In the center of all of it is a box filled with mismatched clothes hangers.
“I think I have 10 of them,” Schafer laughs. “It is so bad.”
The home is a piece in progress and she is learning as she goes. He already knows how the deposit works and suddenly has opinions about several types of grass seeds. “These are very big girl things,” she says. In particular, the undeniable fact that he can do whatever he wants with the project seems each exciting and overwhelming. She recently visited a neighbor and was inspired to construct a comfy library nook around the hearth in her lounge.
“Can you imagine the fire here?” – she asks, her eyes brightening. “Having one live sounds a little scary. But I’ll deal with it somehow.”

This doesn’t appear to be the reach of Schafer, who approached life and art with autodidactic zeal. In 2018 when she was solid Euphoria, She was 19 years old and had never before starred in HBO’s Emmy-winning Gen Z drama. She was a work-study student, and her character, charming transfer student Jules Vaughn, became a generational touchstone. For his first leading role in a feature film – a psychological thriller by Tilman Singer Cuckoo, which shall be released in theaters this summer – Schafer learned learn how to use a butterfly knife and play the bass, filmed her first motion scenes and brushed up on American Sign Language.
“She definitely does fizzes with creative energy” – Dan Stevens, her costar within the film Cuckoo, He tells me. “It’s like it had to come out of her.” He remembers that in the future between scenes, he, Schafer and several others were waiting in an old classroom with a blackboard. Schafer – who studied art in highschool – calmly picked up the markers. “We were just talking and looked up and saw this beautiful face that she had drawn on that board,” Stevens says. “Everyone is like Is there anything the hell she will be able to’t do?“
