The entertainment world is in mourning once again as it loses yet another bright star too soon. Angus Cloud, the talented actor known for his captivating portrayal of Fezco “Fez” O’Neill in HBO’s hit series ‘Euphoria,’ passed away on Monday in Oakland, California, as confirmed by his family and colleagues.
He was a rising star with a promising film career ahead of him, but his untimely death has left fans and fellow actors devastated.
Angus Cloud’s cause of death has not been officially disclosed yet. Initially reported by TMZ, a 911 call was made by Cloud’s mother on July 31, suspecting a possible drug overdose. However, the authorities are yet to confirm the exact cause of death.
This broke my heart. This was a cry for help. I’m sure this is relatable for most of us…
Cloud’s family has mentioned that he had been grappling with mental health issues and was still grieving the loss of his father, Conor Hickey, who passed away earlier this year and was laid to rest in Ireland.
“Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss,” Cloud’s family said in a statement. “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.”
Angus Cloud’s journey to stardom was a remarkable one. He was discovered by an HBO producer on the streets of New York City, leading to an audition for ‘Euphoria,’ where he landed the role of Fez. Despite initial doubts, Cloud quickly won hearts with his nuanced portrayal of the laconic drug dealer who cared deeply for his friend Rue, played by Zendaya, while facing his own struggles.
Off-screen, Cloud was known for his kindness and uniqueness, leaving a lasting impact on his colleagues. Fellow Euphoria cast member Paula Marshall described him as “kind and gracious,” while Javon “Wanna” Walton, who played Ashtray, Fez’s little brother, posted a heartfelt photo of the two of them hugging, bidding him farewell.
Storm Reid, who played Rue’s younger sister Gia, shared an emotional video clip of Cloud’s Fez on her Instagram, capturing the essence of his powerful performance.
Angus Cloud’s sudden fame brought about both excitement and challenges. He became a recognizable face in public, but he remained grounded and authentic despite the spotlight. From attending New York Fashion Week to viral TikTok videos, he handled his newfound fame with humility and a sense of humor.
Beyond ‘Euphoria,’ Cloud ventured into film projects, including ‘North Hollywood’ and ‘The Line,’ showcasing his versatility as an actor. His talent and charm left an indelible mark on those who worked with him and those who were fortunate enough to witness his performances.
HBO, in a statement, expressed its condolences, acknowledging Cloud’s immense talent and his cherished role as part of the ‘Euphoria’ family.
