According to his publicist Cait Bailey, Cloud passed away on Monday in Oakland, California, just one week after mourning the loss of his father, Conor, who passed away following a brief illness.
In a heart-wrenching statement from Cloud’s family, they expressed their sorrow, saying, “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother, and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways. Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend.”
Angus Cloud was open about his battle with mental health, and his family hopes that his passing will serve as a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not suffer in silence. They fondly remember him for his humor, laughter, and love for everyone, and they request privacy during this difficult time of grieving.
The late actor gained popularity for his standout role as Fez in the Emmy-winning HBO teen drama “Euphoria.” He made a significant impact in the first two seasons of the show and also appeared in movies like “The Line” (2023) and “North Hollywood” (2021).
Angus Cloud had recently secured a role in an upcoming horror film at Universal Pictures from the directors of “Scream 6,” Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, and Tyler Gillett.
Recalling his journey to stardom, Cloud had shared that his role as Fez in “Euphoria” was his first acting job, having been discovered on the streets and given the opportunity to lead in the acclaimed series.
HBO, in a statement, expressed their deep sadness over Cloud’s passing, describing him as a cherished member of the HBO and “Euphoria” family with extraordinary talent.
As fans mourn the loss of this talented actor, Cloud’s character, Fez, remains a beloved favorite in “Euphoria.” The HBO series is yet to begin filming its third season, and the future without Angus Cloud’s presence leaves a void in the hearts of both the cast and the audience.
