Ever since its premiere, Euphoria has divided the audience into passionate factions, loving and hating various characters. This show sparked controversies due to its dark portrayal of sensitive subjects such as drug addiction and sexual violence. Despite all the drama, there was one character we all absolutely loved and rooted for: Fezco. Angus Cloud, the actor who charmed audiences as the lovable drug dealer Fezco, passed away at the young age of 25.

Cloud’s publicist confirmed his passing at his family home in Oakland, California, on Monday. The exact cause of his death is uncertain, but it was known to all that the actor was struggling with his mental health following his father’s demise a few weeks ago. 

Euphoria team and Drake give a heartfelt tribute to Angus Cloud

After the devastating news of Angus Cloud’s passing, his fans and the Euphoria team came together to pay tribute to the amazing actor. Rapper Drake, who’s also an executive producer on the series, honored the actor on his Instagram story, posting a photo of Cloud with the caption “Good Soul,” accompanied by a crying face and dove emoji. On Twitter, the official Euphoria page shared a touching message dedicated to the 25-year-old actor as well. 

Javon Walton (aka Ashtray) posted a sweet throwback pic on Instagram, writing, “Rest easy brother,” while Storm Reid (Gia) shared a touching Fez clip, saying, “The tears just won’t stop.” Sam Levinson, the show’s creator, expressed deep sorrow, saying there was no one quite like Angus. And Paula Marshall (Marsha Jacobs) shared memories of Angus Cloud, calling him “kind”, “gracious”, and “one of a kind.” As of now, no reaction from Sydney Sweeney has been received. In the past, she expressed her wish to share more screen time with the late actor,  adding to the love and admiration.

Your Lucky Day actor’s sudden departure has fans reeling with shock and emotions, as they come together to share their cherished memories. Some even express their desire for the show’s cancellation, recognizing that “nothing will be the same without Fez.” Emotions run deep as they bid farewell, hoping his soul finds peace.

The overwhelming love from fans reflects the impact he had on their lives and the lasting legacy he leaves behind. This is why it is interesting how effortless it was for Cloud to get his role in the show.

Being Fezco was effortless for Cloud

Last year, the Oakland native found himself strolling through Manhattan when a casting representative approached him. Initially skeptical, he reluctantly agreed to audition for a new TV series, Euphoria. In a nondescript room, he delivered lines from the show’s first episode, infusing the character with his authenticity. Despite the nerves, he skillfully made the dialogue his own, leaving a profound impact on the serious faces observing him. Little did he know that this chance encounter would lead him to a transformative role, captivating audiences worldwide with his heartfelt portrayal.

Despite having limited screen time, Angus Cloud captivated the audience with his portrayal of a somewhat compassionate drug dealer in the show. The chemistry he shared with Rue, and Lexi was a highlight of his character. Amidst the controversial male characters, Fez stood out as the one who received love and appreciation from everyone.

What memories of the 25-year-old will stay with you?
