Euphoria fame Angus Cloud passes away at 25
Sophia Edwards Cait Bailey, the publicist of Cloud, announced that he passed away on Monday at his residence in Oakland, California. The reason for his death has not been disclosed.
In a statement regarding Angus, his family said, "Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence. We hope the world remembers him for his humour, laughter and love for everyone."
Before being cast in "Euphoria," Cloud had no prior acting experience. While walking down a street in New York, he was discovered by casting scout Eléonore Hendricks. Initially sceptical, Cloud eventually met with casting director Jennifer Venditti and was eventually offered a co-starring role in the series alongside Zendaya for its first two seasons, by series creator Sam Levinson.
There were people who believed that Cloud was the same as Fez because he played the character so convincingly, but Cloud denied this idea.
Recently, Cloud was selected to act alongside Melissa Berrera in a horror film produced by Universal Pictures and directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who also directed Scream 6. Additionally, Cloud has appeared in numerous music videos, including All Three by Noah Cyrus, Cigarettes by Juice WRLD, and Miamiii by Becky G and Karol G.
Sam Levinson said, "There was no one quite like Angus. He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon. He also struggled, like many of us, with addiction and depression. I hope he knew how many hearts he touched. I loved him. I always will. Rest in peace and God Bless his family."
In a statement, HBO said, "He was immensely talented and a beloved part of the HBO and Euphoria family. We extend our deepest condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.”
