Sydney Sweeney says Euphoria co-star Angus Cloud's death still doesn't feel real

Sydney Sweeney has opened up about the profound impact of the unexpected death of her Euphoria co-star Angus Cloud. In an interview with Glamour, the 26-year-old actress expressed her shock over Cloud’s passing in August, revealing that the cast was constantly on the phone with each other, supporting one another through the difficult time. Cloud, who portrayed drug dealer Fezco in the teen drama, tragically died at the age of 25 from an accidental drug overdose.

Sweeney shared that the reality of Cloud’s absence might not fully set in until they begin filming the third season of Euphoria, slated for 2025, with production starting next year. The actress emphasized the unique bond the cast shares during filming, providing support and camaraderie that may be challenging to replicate when everyone is in separate locations.

Reflecting on the impact of a colleague’s death in the entertainment industry, Sweeney acknowledged the enduring presence of individuals in various forms. Following Cloud’s passing, Sweeney posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, expressing her gratitude for having known him in this lifetime and acknowledging the shared grief within the Euphoria community.

Euphoria, an HBO hit series that explores the lives of troubled high school students, has garnered significant attention for its hard-hitting storylines. The show, led by Zendaya as the main character Rue, has been praised for its raw portrayal of issues affecting young people. Sweeney, who plays Cassie, noted that her role provides an emotional outlet, describing it as a form of therapy where she can express and release emotions.

The loss of Angus Cloud has undoubtedly left a void for the Euphoria cast, and Sweeney’s reflections shed light on the emotional challenges they face as they navigate the filming process without their beloved co-star.
