Sydney Sweeney revealed the emotional turmoil she and her Euphoria castmates experienced following Angus Cloud's accidental overdose in July. Describing the shock and grief, she emphasised the ongoing support among the cast, acknowledging the profound impact of Cloud's absence on the set.“[My co-stars and I] were constantly on the phone with each other crying, because it was just such a shock. I don’t think it’ll truly feel real or hit me until we’re filming, and I won’t see Angus on set.”

She added, “[At least] when we are filming, all of our eyes are on each other, and we’re there for each other, just in a different way than we’re able to when we’re all in very separate places in the world. It’s really interesting when someone passes away in our industry because they’re still alive in so many forms.”
