Angus Cloud Shared How Drug Dealer Role Took A Toll

In addition to his role of Fezco on Euphoria, Cloud starred in movies such as North Hollywood and The Line. His projects in post-production included an untitled Universal Monsters film, Freaky Tales and Your Lucky Day. But his role as a drug dealer in Euphoria took a toll amid his own struggles.

“Sympathy, yo. Because addiction is serious and a lot of doctors call it a disease, it’s a real thing. People don’t understand it,” said Angus about addiction.

And he added, “It’s easy to talk about and it’s easy to say, ‘Just say no.’ But for someone who is in active addiction, that is damn near impossible and they will throw their whole life away and they will die because of this disease or whatever, and then they will say it’s not a disease because you ‘choose’ to do drugs. You don’t ‘choose’ to do cancer.”

But Cloud honored Euphoria for showing the challenges of addiction through his own character. And he shared, “There are studies of the brain that this kind of addiction overcomes and it takes over your brain, so it’s almost a mental type of disease. And it will take over your life, it will ruin your life. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemies.”
