angus cloud euphoria actor Cape Town

The world is mourning the loss of Angus Cloud, the talented actor famous for his role in HBO’s Euphoria as Fezco “Fez” O’Neil. At 25 years old, Cloud left a lasting impression on millions of viewers with his exceptional performance and sensitivity, making his sudden death a shock to fans and the entertainment industry alike.

A Journey into Acting

Born and raised in Oakland, California, Cloud’s path to acting was serendipitous. Despite limited acting experience, he had played roles in two films, The Line and North Hollywood, and starred in music videos for Becky G, Karol G, and Juice WRLD. However, it was a chance encounter with a casting director in Brooklyn that propelled him to stardom in Euphoria in 2019.

The Success of Euphoria and Fez

In Euphoria, Cloud portrayed a high school drug dealer named Fez, loved by audiences for his intense but kind-hearted character with a strong moral compass. The show, which focused on a group of California high school students grappling with sex, drugs, and violence, won critical acclaim, including two Emmys and a Golden Globe for Zendaya’s performance.

The Private Struggle

Cloud’s success was accompanied by personal struggles. He had faced mental health issues and was devastated by the loss of his father, whom he considered his best friend. Tragically, he passed away just a week after attending his father’s funeral in Ireland.

In a statement to Variety, Cloud’s family shared that he was open about his mental health struggles and hoped that his death would encourage others to seek help. They also expressed their wish that the world would remember him for his humor, laughter, and love for everyone.

A Legacy of Compassion

The Euphoria family, as well as fans worldwide, expressed their sorrow and paid tribute to the late actor. The official Euphoria account tweeted, “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.”

As we remember Angus, it is essential to recognize the significance of mental health and its impact on individuals and their loved ones. The stigma surrounding mental health issues still exists in the world, and it is crucial to start conversations and offer support to those struggling in silence.

A Final Tribute

The loss of Angus Cloud is a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of mental well-being. We must honor his memory by showing compassion, understanding, and empathy to those grappling with mental health issues and ensuring that they know they are not alone.

Rest in peace, Angus Cloud. Your legacy as an outstanding actor and a kind-hearted individual will continue to live on in the hearts of your family, friends, fans, and the entire Euphoria family.

But recent U.S. tariffs threaten these gains, making it harder for farmers to compete and putting many livelihoods at risk.
