Angus Cloud, the talented actor widely recognized for his portrayal of Fezco “Fez” O’Neill on the popular HBO series Euphoria, has sadly passed away at the age of 25. The news was confirmed by Cloud’s family on Monday. According to his publicist Cait Bailey, Cloud died at his family home in Oakland, California. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
In a heartfelt statement, Cloud’s family expressed their deep sorrow at the loss of an extraordinary individual. They shared that Cloud had been struggling intensely with the recent passing of his father, who was not only his best friend but also his source of strength. The family also noted that Cloud was very open about his battle with mental health, and they hope that his untimely death serves as a reminder that no one should face their struggles alone.
Born and raised in Oakland, Cloud rose to prominence for his impressive performance as Fezco on Euphoria, winning over viewers with his authenticity and charm. However, Cloud was quick to challenge the notion that he and his character were one and the same. In an interview with Variety, he emphasized that there was much more to his portrayal than simply being himself. Cloud’s talent and dedication to his craft were evident in bringing depth to the character of Fez.
Prior to his role on Euphoria, Cloud had no previous acting experience. He was discovered by casting scout Eléonore Hendricks while walking down a street in New York. Initially skeptical, Cloud was eventually convinced to meet with casting director Jennifer Venditti and series creator Sam Levinson, who saw his potential and cast him as a co-star alongside Zendaya for the show’s first two seasons.
Sam Levinson, in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, mourned the loss of Cloud, describing him as a remarkable and unique individual. Levinson acknowledged that Cloud, like many others, faced personal struggles with addiction and depression. Despite his own battles, Cloud touched countless hearts and made a lasting impact.
Mason Shea Joyce, who portrayed a young Fez on Euphoria, expressed his admiration for Cloud as a kind and supportive individual. It was an honor for Joyce to work alongside him and be able to share conversations and moments of encouragement.
Zendaya, Cloud’s co-star on Euphoria, paid tribute to him on Instagram, reminiscing about his warm presence and infectious laughter. She emphasized that he brought boundless light, love, and joy to the lives of those around him. Zendaya asked for compassion and understanding during this difficult time, directing her thoughts and prayers to Cloud’s mother and family.
HBO, the network behind Euphoria, expressed their deep sadness over Cloud’s passing and acknowledged his immense talent and contributions to the show. The network extended their condolences to his loved ones.
Cloud had recently begun exploring opportunities beyond Euphoria. He had a supporting role in his first film, The Line, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival earlier this year. Additionally, he made cameo appearances in music videos for Juice WRLD, Becky G, and Karol G. Cloud had also finished filming a role in an upcoming monster thriller directed by the creators of Scream 6, set to be released in April of next year.
Angus Cloud’s untimely death is a profound loss for the entertainment industry and all those who were touched by his talent. He will be remembered as a gifted actor who left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of his audience.
