Angus Cloud has gained a lot of attention over the last few months — thanks to his portrayal as Fezco in the hit HBO TV drama series Euphoria. Many fans have recently noticed the resemblance between Cloud and the late rapper Mac Miller, who died in September of 2018 from a drug overdose.
Viewers first meet Fez as Rue's (Zendaya) drug dealer and friend. He lives in his unconscious, hospital bed-ridden grandmother's home, and takes care of Ashtray — a kid he's looked after since he was younger. Throughout the two seasons, Fez and Rue have a very strong relationship with trust.
Fez has shown immense care for his friend's road to recovery from drug addiction. Fez can be described as a kind and loyal human being, despite his rough-looking exterior and lifestyle. Fez and Lexi (Maude Apatow) also created a strong bond in season 2 with non-stop conversations over the phone. The season came to an end on Sunday after just eight episodes. HBO confirmed that the show was renewed for a third season.
Many fans have discussed that they want Cloud to portray Miller in a potential biopic, but he quickly shut down those rumors.
"I mean, no, I don't think so. Taking on someone's whole life and becoming that person like, how much respect you have to give them to actually try to portray them, you know? Like, you have to learn, you know what I'm saying," Cloud discussed the topic with etalk.
"I don't think I would be prepared to take on someone's life and legacy and try to replay that, you know? That man is a legend and he's going to remain one. May he rest in peace, you feel me?"
Many fans on social media are gushing about the resemblance between the two.
"Absolutely I think that's another reason I love him so much," u/Jlynn111 said in response to the original poster."
"I love Mac Miller so so so much he saved my life, and fez reminds me of him. Makes me so happy I wish Mac was still here," u/Acceptable_Level6221 wrote in a heartfelt comment.
"Not only looks wise, but mostly everybody that knew Mac would say he had a gentle heart. Also a lot like Fez," u/Himynameisbob2345 said.
U/greenpen3 commented under a similar Reddit post, "They look very similar. I noticed it immediately upon seeing him during season 1. The shaved head with dark hair, similar red facial hair, and similar facial features. It's eerie!"
