Fans have drawn similarities between Angus Cloud and Mac Miller after the former passed away on July 31, at the age of 25. Angus, who rose to fame for playing Fezco “Fez” O’Neill on HBO’s hit drama series Euphoria, bore a striking facial resemblance with late American rapper Mac Miller.
However, the two did not have a familial connection. But ever since Angus appeared as Fezco on the show, fans started pointing out the similarities between him and Mac Miller. Angus was called Miller’s doppelganger by many. Some of Miller’s fans even got emotional over seeing the actor as he reminded them of the rapper.
Mac Miller, who was born in 1992, died from an accidental drug overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol at the age of 26, on September 7, 2018. Although the exact cause of Angus Cloud’s death has not yet been disclosed, according to information obtained from sources by TMZ, the actor’s mother made a 911 call on Monday, reporting a possible drug overdose.
Angus’ family announced the tragic news in a statement, sharing that the actor had recently buried his father and was battling mental health issues.
Fans draw similarities between Angus Cloud and Mac Miller after actor's death
Mac Miller's fans who took comfort in watching Fezco on Euphoria are devastated after receiving the news of Angus Cloud’s death. Many expressed how it has taken them back in time when Miller passed away. Several fans said that they have to go through the pain twice as they have now lost both Mac Miller and Angus.
People took to Twitter to share side-by-side photos of the two stars and mourn their deaths.
Angus Cloud was struggling with suicidal thoughts
The statement from the actor’s family read:
“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”
His family shared that Angus had to intensely struggle with the loss of his father. The statement continued:
“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."
Angus Cloud shared a photo of his father on his Instagram two weeks ago and wrote that he missed him.
As per a source close to the family, the actor had been combating severe suicidal thoughts after his return from Ireland where his father had been buried. The actor was staying with his family in Oakland, California, as he was trying to overcome his grief.
Angus previously refused to play Mac Miller in his possible biopic. The actor reasoned that he did not believe he was prepared enough to take on someone’s legacy and attempt to replay that. He called Miller a legend and said that he was going to remain one.
