Euphoria's Angus Cloud is DEAD TO ME.

I had no beef with him.

Oh man. Sounds like he took his own life?

Gee, an obvious druggie is dead?

Maybe r2, could just be a drug overdose.

That's a rough 25.

Aww, his dad just died last week. Poor kid.

sad.

he was cute.

This is sad. Art imitating life. RIP to him.

[quote]"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 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.”

That sounds pretty suicide-y.

Statement seems to imply that he couldn’t cope with his father’s death and committed suicide, heartbreaking.

Well Fez didn’t die in Euphoria. And now I’m certain we will never get a season 3

R11 Fez was the type of character that was destined to meet a sad fate tho.

They killed off the brother because he would have a full beard and be 6’6” by the time the show returned. They should’ve killed off Fez too.

Wouldn’t wish suicidal thoughts on my worst enemy.

R12 or turn his life around. Fact is Fez didn’t die. He lived. Ash died.

He was a rapist.

So sad. There were stories earlier about how his former manager exposed his prescription drug addiction so I'm guessing it was an overdose.

R16 ugh Jesus. Go away.

I'm wondering the same thing. Between The Idol being an embarrassment, Fez dying, and Zendaya's career taking off is there ever going to be a Season 3 of Euphoria.

A. He battled with mental health issues. B. He had addiction issues. C. He couldn’t deal with his fathers death.

Goddamnit, That former manager was right- He had major, major issues.

I absolutely LOVED this guy on Euphoria.

So sad..

^ Accused. Never charged

Another Fettinol death?

It seems like if you already struggle with depression/anxiety etc., going into the entertainment industry exacerbates those issues.

This is so sad . These Z kids are so fragile

HBO released a statement

25 is a difficult age, especially if not where you think you should already be in life.

SAD. Has Zendaya issued a statement from her residence that she does not share with Tom Holland?

Lmao. R27 please. 25 is 25. Not 35, where you’re near 40. You’re fresh out of college by a short few years. Your life is starting.

R29 you can laugh all you want but there’s a reason a lot of young people commit suicide around this age.

R30 and it’s not usually because they “aren’t where they wanna be in life”. Again, 25 is shortly after college. Your career life is starting. Not ending.

Sad. His character seemed more authentic than others. There’s a lot of silly, overacting in the show, but not from him. RIP.

R31 But to many people it does feel like the end, especially if you’re not where you want to be in life. There’s too much pressure at that age and not everyone can cope with it.

R31 Schizophrenia and other mental illnesses come on in the late teens and early 20s, especially for young men.

Cloud was so refreshingly "natural" in Euphoria, with that sweet nature that also could probably be violent when/if needed. Knew a lot of young guys like him back in my drug running days.

[quote] Another Fettinol death?

Oh, dear.

R33 your ridiculous reasoning behind a rise in suicidal deaths with Gen Z is offensive. You’re a retard. Mental health issues are very real. To cheapen it to “not being where I wanna be in life in my early 20s” is fucking RETARDED.

R36 Fuck off

Sorry about this young man. Sounds like he really struggled through life and then his dad dies. So damned sad. R.I.P.

R37 GROW UP. Get out of moms house. What the fuck would you know about adulthood? You’re a grown man living off your mom. Angus moved to NY and got cast on a show. He filmed a movie last year. He was doing fine.

R36, I agree . He had a lot going for him and a pretty great gig .

I don't know him!

What a shame.

that makes 3 for such a short period of time

They used to call it a quarter life crisis. 25 is hard on a lot of people. I always thought he looked like Sacred Heart Jesus.

We know “quarter life crisis” is a thing. But people don’t kill themselves because of it most times. His situation was dark and you’re cheapening it to something so petty and childish.

Very sad, though I recall some awards show (?) that guy was clearly high as a kite. Not even hiding it.

When I read about this guy's death, after the initial (somewhat) shock, my next thought was: god, Maude Apatow is going to be all over social media with self-serving grief porn.

Maude Apatow is busy working. She will probably release a sweet message, but the show must go on.

It was an overdose.

Poor guy. In his interviews it seemed that he probably didn't need to do a whole lot of acting for the role of Fezco as he seemed pretty out of it all the time. Sad to do this at 25 though.

Gosh that's so tough to bury your husband and then a week later find your 25 year old son dead.

Shades of Brad Renfro and so many others, where an actor cast for being "authentic" turns out to be just that.

Brad Renfro was a very different situation

Sam Levinson released a statement

Unfortunately, Zendaya's still here.

We're gonna miss you, Conor Hickey!

[quote] Oh man. Sounds like he took his own life?

These generation z young people are so selfish. He should give it back!

Do you suppose he died of natural causes?

R47 unfortunately

That’s so sad he was my favorite on euphoria.

Now we'll never get to see him hate fucking Jacob Elordi.

I can say I agree with r30. 30 and 35 were nothing for me but for some reason 25 was hard. I really felt like a failure and old. It’s laughable now but it’s how I felt

R62 Lmao

Same here, r62. Twenty five was tough.

R64 lmaooooooooo

Sweetie. It’s tough because you’re unemployed and living off your mother.

Angus wasn’t. He filmed more than one movie last year and has been working on things. His mother said she believes he overdosed, yet you’re here making up a complete storyline about a 25 year old with money vs your broke ass.

No statement from Zendaya? Cold

Horrible, but people who praised his acting on Euphoria were delusional, he literally just played himself with no deviation. And his costars kept pointing out in interviews how he was exactly like that in real life as well. Like, that's not a compliment, hon.

RIp Angus. Agree he seemed to be playing himself, but he gave off a good vibe. Between this and the strike, I wonder if Euphoria will come back before all the high school characters age out. They should do a spin off the show to follow the Eric Dane character.

R53 True, Brad was a 26-year old actor who killed himself with drugs - Angus was 25.

R70 No wait, I'm wrong - Brad was 25 also.

R68 sweetie, that’s a talent in itself. Being able to be yourself believably with scripted lines is still an achievement. Most of us couldn’t even do that and would sound mechanical and terrible.

R70 their entire situations were different. You’re looking at it from a very basic lens. Not shocking.

r69 a spin off with Eric Dane would just be called and Oz reboot. Since he was arrested at the end of S2, the most you will see from Cal's character is a lot of anal sex in prison. I would 100% watch!

He was likely playing himself (a lot of actors do), but he really brought a much needed pathos to the show; the scene where Rue (fresh of of rehab) wants drugs and he won't let her in as she screams at him outside the door was really powerful.

I've watched the awful skateboard movie 'North Hollywood' more than once to see another actor, but Angus was probably the best thing in the film. Maybe someone will clip his scenes so you don't have to sit through the rest of it. I don't know how.

Sad. He was the only actor on the show I would have wanted to f*ck in real life.

[quote] Cloud was so refreshingly "natural" in Euphoria, with that sweet nature that also could probably be violent when/if needed. Knew a lot of young guys like him back in my drug running days.

Shoving balloons full of xtasy tablets up your butt is "drug running"?!

r77 you would have skipped over Eric Dane or Jacob Elordi? You must be blind.

With all due respect R67, I have my own problems.

R67 none of the main cast have said anything but Javon Walton, who played his little brother Ash. Sam Levinson released a statement, of course, as well as HBO. None of the rest of the cast have said anything yet. Javon and him worked very closely as their characters were always together so it makes sense Javon said something before anyone else, not to mention he was a kid working with him on season 1 and a teen on season 2 so this is probably very sad to him.

Weird how you only mention Zendaya when Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Alexa Demi, Barbie Ferreira, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi etc. have all said nothing yet. Hell, not even the pornstar who played Faye has said anything yet and she worked almost exclusively with him on season 2.

Maybe they know things about him that are problematic.

Or they have publicists who told them not to say anything yet.

His mother said overdose.

Their publicists will tell them the right time to say anything. Probably after other people give their condolences, and that’s when the main cast drops their condolences and make headlines.

No publicity is bad publicity in Hollywood, especially if you have a costar who dies.

They also all probably can read between the lines at this point and know Euphoria season 3 is probably not happening. Between the constant delays to start filming (they were supposed to originally start filming last fall/winter and then it was pushed to around March and then pushed to around May and then pushed back again only for the strike to happen once they were about to finally start filming) to the cast all working on numerous projects now to Zendaya wanting out to Dominic Fike recently speaking about how hard it was to stay sober while working on this show to now Angus dying of a possible overdose… yeah. HBO is probably trying to figure out what to do.

Zendaya posted this 10 minutes ago, as we discussed the cast not saying anything yet lol.

I never thought I would feel this tired at 25.

R88 is from Jewels in St Elmo’s Fire

Apparently he left a mute and it read “all this time I was afraid you’d find out I wasn’t fabulous.”

His acting wasn't Oscar worthy by any means. Quite the opposite. And yet... it was definitely something special. His character stood out. Evoked more than he had any right to.

His character had a really interesting arc too. I'm sad we'll never get to see the rest of it.

I'm with others thinking that Euphoria Season 3 probably won't happen at this point. No sign of an end to the actors and writers strikes. Everyone aging out and wanting to move on. And let's face it: The second half of season 2 was kinda not great.

I watched a random interview with him from a few months ago. The fact that he was using would have been obvious from Mars. No surprise that he OD'd . Sad though. 25 is too young for anyone to die of something so stupid.

He had old parents—his dad was 66 and his mom 68 I believe.

Man, he was pretty. Blue eyes, red hair, and a world of swagger.

Very Irish.

Did he unalive himself

He cleaned up nicely and definitely had the X factor.

Not anymore

He looks a bit like Conor McGregor in the picture at OP.

[quote]none of the main cast have said anything but Javon Walton

I miss the days when people didn't keep track of who has and hasn't engaged in performative acts of public grief.

Life imitating art, or art imitating life?

I'm sad we'll never get to see where his character was poised to go next.

But then again, we may never get to see where ANY of the characters were going to go next...

[quote]Same here, [R62]. Twenty five was tough.

27 is tougher, because you die.

His mother refutes rumors that he committed suicide:

Maybe she just doesn't want to believe.

Maybe she's right, but only he really knows.

He ODd

He’s pretty high here;

Is it a case that so called 'cool' people enter show biz...or get invited to party's and fit it or pretend to fit in by taking drugs? I have never been into drugs, I'm too vain, but I've been left out of gatherings and trips by friends, cos I'm too clean cut. So, would I be excluded from said parties as a bore...or wud I have had to go along with the drugs to get on???

There is such a thing as an unintentional OD, depending on the substance and the potentially changing chemistry of the person. That the guy was on a self-destructive course is obvious (the same could be said of smokers), but it isn't proof that he was knowingly suicidal.

R5 Nothing rough about him you old bitch.

That clip at R106 reminded me of Mushmouth from the Fat Albert show (yes, I'm old). It kind of makes you feel sorry for the people forced to interview these tools & try to get some sort of reasonable coherent sound byte out them.

R10, Both designer Alexander McQueen and author Wendy Leigh committed suicide because they could not deal with the recent deaths of their mothers.

He looked like James Gandolfini. He also seemed really, really stupid

On what planet does he look like James gandolfini?

Probably was able to buy more drugs with his Netflix salary.

R113 He looks just like him with red hair. Sorry you probably found this dumb Eminem attractive and James not but it's the same damn face

It's not. At all.

I think he looks like a skinny Sam Smith.

That's a bit closer. A skinny, MUCH better looking Sam Smith.

It was a drug overdose, not a suicide like some were speculating.

R119 which some of us said on here only for certain posters to act like they KNEW it was a suicide.

So trashy.

Gerg

I’m really square these days so forgive me for asking but do people mix all of those drugs together

Clearly he did and died because of it r123

Addicts are ticking bombs - I'm just glad he didn't take anyone else with him.

I can't even count the number of times I have taken a combination of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and more.

Nowadays you just have to take one fake pressed pill that you bought as an Oxy and it will have all that shit in it. Or he started his day on meth and came down with something else.

He was one of the standouts on Euphoria. His fate is very very similar to Brad Renfro or Justin Pierce (from Kids). Many times these casting directors try to find real kids from the “wrong side of the tracks” to add realism to their shows or movies but the Hollywood lifestyle chews them up and spits them out. If they already had some serious childhood trauma and drug addiction throwing them into a messed up industry like Hollywood surrounded by enablers, users and predators just worsens their conditions. It’s really not a shock if they further unravel. But Hollywood will never learn

Yeah he was the best on euphoria imho. Hot too

R128 There's nothing for them to "learn" - they want to wring these kids for whatever they can get from them. They are always more troubled kids, more pretty kids, more WHATEVER kids for them to snap up. They don't care.

Sam Levinson has opened up for the first time about the accidental overdose death of Euphoria star Angus Cloud. In a new interview, Levinson revealed the lengths that were taken to help Cloud find recovery including an intervention, a rehab stay that was paid for by HBO and series rewrites to keep his character alive as a way to get the late actor excited about the future.

Did they dye his beard? I don't remember it being that red during the show.

That website is a fucking mess.

R128, he was 25-years-old. Is that really a kid?
