Actor Angus Cloud, known for his role in the series Euphoria, passed away on Monday, July 31, at the age of 25. The interpreter, a native of California (USA), was very loved by his companions in the series, who deeply regretted the loss of him. "We are incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Angus Cloud. He was immensely talented and a beloved part of the HBO and Euphoria family. We extend our deepest condolences to his friends and family at this difficult time," they wrote, mourning his loss.
The young actor began to gain recognition in 2019 thanks to his role in Euphoria, in which he played Fezco, a drug dealer who dropped out of school and cared for the protagonist, Rue (played by Zendaya). His tragic loss has generated a multitude of tributes from fans of the series, but he will also be remembered by HBO itself, who have joined the tributes for the new season.
From now on, when some of the episodes of the series are reproduced on the HBO Max platform, viewers will be able to find a photo of Cloud accompanied by the following dedication: "In memory of Angus Cloud. 1998-2023".
This occurs in episodes of the series such as the pilot or the first of the second season, where his character's childhood with his grandmother is narrated and how he met 'Ashtray'. This detail, for the moment, is not yet available in Spain. It is also not known how Sam Levinson, the creator of the hit series, will address the disappearance of the character of Fezco.
Zendaya was one of the many who wanted to publicly say goodbye to her partner and friend. "There are not enough words to describe the infinite beauty that Angus is. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to meet him in this life, to be able to call him brother," the interpreter said in a statement on Instagram. Along with her, the rest of the Euphoria team also sent her messages in memory of Cloud.
The actor's family was in charge of announcing the death of the interpreter in a sad statement. "It is with the greatest sadness that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human being today. As an artist, friend, brother and son, Angus was special to all of us in many ways," lamented the family, who also explained that the actor had been struggling "intensely" with the loss of his father, just a few days before.
“The only consolation we have is knowing that Angus is now with his father, who was his best friend,” they added, also explaining that “Angus has spoken openly about his battle with mental health and we hope his death can be a reminder to others. that they are not alone and should not fight alone in silence.
"We hope the world will remember him for his humor, laughter and love for everyone," added his family, who asked for privacy to deal with their grief.
The causes of the young man's death have not yet been clarified. It was rumored about a possible suicide, something that his mother flatly denied days later. "Posts on social media have suggested that his death was intentional. I want you to know that this is not the case." The possibility of an accidental overdose is also being considered, although the authorities have not confirmed anything.
