Zendaya has paid tribute to her late Euphoria co-star Angus Cloud, sharing an image of a stunning mural painted in his honour. It follows his death last month, aged 25, at his family home.
Cloud was reportedly in ‘deep grief’ over the death of his father a few weeks earlier. Zendaya, who played his onscreen sister, posted a heartfelt statement shortly after his death on social media.
“Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty that is Angus,” she wrote. “I’m so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh. I know people use this expression often when talking about folks they love… ‘they could light up any room they entered’ but boy let me tell you, he was the best at it. I’d like to remember him that way. For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I’ll cherish every moment.”
Zendaya also asked her 184 million Instagram followers to be “kind and patient as grief looks different for everyone.”
Earlier this month, Cloud’s mother Lisa took to Facebook to confirm that her son did not intend to end his life. She wrote: “Although my son was in deep grief about his father’s untimely death from mesothelioma, his last day was a joyful one. He spoke of his intent to help provide for his sisters at college, and also help his mom emotionally and financially. He did not intend to end his life.”
Lisa went on to suggest that a post-mortem examination may find Cloud had overdosed “accidentally and tragically.” She concluded her post by urging fans to make “random acts of kindness part of your daily life” in honour of her son’s memory.
