Euphoria Season 3 Episode 4 “Kitty Likes To Dance” accelerates one of the juiciest storylines in the HBO show’s run. After Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) leaves Nate (Jacob Elordi), she becomes fully locked in on her mission to become a major OnlyFans model and social media influencer. Lucky for her, former best friend/modern day frenemy Maddy Perez (Alexa Demie) is doing her darnedest to guide her to the top.
After giving Cassie a bit of a makeover and managing a far more “tasteful” photoshoot — complete with faulty leafblower — Maddy takes her new protege to a ritzy Hollywood party at influencer Brandon Fontaine’s house with a mission.
“Brandon’s got 20 million followers,” Maddy says. “The goal is simple. Get him to post a video of you looking hot.”
In real life, Euphoria writer, director, and showrunner Sam Levinson tapped someone who comes from literal Hollywood royalty to play this massive influencer. So who exactly plays Brandon on Euphoria? And how is actor Jeff Wahlberg related to Mark Wahlberg and Donnie Wahlberg?
Who Plays Brandon on Euphoria? Is Jeff Wahlberg Related to Mark and Donnie Wahlberg?
Jeff Wahlberg plays Brandon on Euphoria and, yes, he is part of the famous Wahlberg family.
Jeff Wahlberg is the son of Jim Wahlberg and Bernarda “Bennie” Wahlberg, meaning that Mark Wahlberg and Donnie Wahlberg are his uncles. The 29-year-old actor was born in Boston and is half Dominican, half Irish-American.
Wahlberg has appeared in films like Cherry and Future World and shows like The Girl From Plainville. However, his biggest claim to fame might be starring as Diego opposite Isabel Merced’s Dora the Explorer in Dora and the Lost City of Gold.

New episodes of Euphoria come out on Sunday nights at 9 PM ET on HBO and HBO Max.
