Angus Cloud was a once-in-a-generation talent.
“I thought it was a scam.”
“[Acting is] a different kind of hard,” Cloud explained.
You have to be on point.
it’s possible for you to’t call in sick.
Acting takes a lot out of you."
The actor added: “I’d be drained, but I was just sitting there acting.”
“He had this incredible ability for active listening,” she said.
“One of the scenes that he auditioned for was a big monologue that Rue [Zendaya] had.
You could just watch him listen forever; it jumped off the screen.”
“I’m like, ‘I don’t know what I am doing.
Why did they bring me over here for this?
They should have gotten a real actor for this job,'” Cloud shared.
I ain’t tryna be like no one-trick pony.
But if I did sh*t, then it is what it is."
He explained: “I don’t know how to act.
I just do it.
I got blessed with the superpower of being lucky.
Cloud toldVariety: “It does bother me when people are like, ‘It must be so easy!
You get to go in and be yourself.’
I’m like, ‘Why don’t you go and do that?’
It’s not that simple.”
He asserted: “I brought a lot to the character.
you could believe what you want.
It ain’t got nothing to do with me.”
Euphoria casting director Jennifer Venditti also expressed frustration about Cloud’s often minimized performance.
She told the outlet: “People just think, ‘Oh, he just shows up.
He’s just this lazy stoner.’
Like, no.”
It’s not just showing up and being yourself on camera.”
Venditti warmly added: “I’m really proud of him.
Angus doesn’t get enough credit.”
Cloud admitted: “That sh*t f**ks with my mind for sure.
I’d rather people didn’t recognize me.”
I just want to have regular interactions with people.
I don’t want to be treated special."
That’s cool.'"
He recalled: “I woke up 12 hours later at the bottom.
I was trapped.”
Cloud continued: “I eventually climbed out after I don’t know how long.
But they wasn’t gonna find me down there.”
He poetically added: “I found myself.
Or God found me, whatever you want to call it.”
“That’s what the scar’s from,” Cloud told the outlet.
The devastating announcement continued: “Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss.
Cloud honored his dad onInstagramwith a tribute post on July 11 simply captioned: “miss u breh.”
“There was no one quite like Angus.
The statement continued: “He also struggled, like many of us, with addiction and depression.
I hope he knew how many hearts he touched.
Rest in [peace] and God Bless his family.”
