โ€œIt is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,โ€ the actorโ€™s family said in a statement. โ€œAs an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.โ€

โ€œThe 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,โ€ the statement concluded.

Cloud rose to fame for his breakout role in the HBO series, Euphoria. He starred as Fezco โ€“ a high school dropout and drug dealer โ€“ on the series, which premiered in 2019.

In 2022, Cloud attended Varietyโ€™s annual Power of Young Hollywood event where he recalled being โ€œplucked off the streetโ€ for the role in Euphoria.

โ€œI was with some friends,โ€ Cloud said of the encounter. โ€œWe were just hanging out.โ€

He added, โ€œIt does bother me when people are like, โ€˜It must be so easy. You get to go in and be yourself.โ€™ Iโ€™m like, โ€˜Why donโ€™t you go and do that?โ€™ Itโ€™s not that simple. I brought a lot to the character. You can believe what you want. It ainโ€™t got nothing to do with me.โ€

Jennifer Venditti, Euphoria casting director, told the outlet that Cloud did not get enough credit for his role.

โ€œPeople think, โ€˜Oh, he just shows up. Heโ€™s just this lazy stoner.โ€™ Angus doesnโ€™t get enough credit,โ€ she told the outlet at the event in 2022.

Cloud also starred in North Hollywood in 2021 and The Line in 2023.
