Angus Cloud is being remembered as “warm” and “kind” by his co-stars and rumoured girlfriend, who have paid tribute to the Euphoria star after his death aged 25 yesterday.
Model and actress Sydney Martin, who is understood to have been in an on-off relationship with Cloud, shared a collage of photos of the pair loved up, kissing and cuddling in one of a number of Instagram Stories posted after news of his death broke.
“I will never let the world forget you,” she wrote alongside one image from Christmas 2021.

Martin began her Instagram Stories with a black screen and seven heartbroken emojis, followed by a shot of Cloud, writing next to it: “My heart is so broken. I love you forever.”
There was also video played on a camera of the pair messing about in front of the mirror.
Martin also had a small role in the series that made Cloud famous – he rose to fame in 2019 thanks to his role as Fezco in HBO’s Euphoria, a sweet-natured drug dealer who was close to Zendaya‘s character Rue.

“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,” she continued.
“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. My heart is with his mother and family at this time and please be kind and patient as grief looks different for everyone.”
Cloud’s Euphoria co-star Sydney Sweeney, 25, also wrote on Instagram: “Angus you were an open soul, with the kindest heart, and you filled every room with laughter.”

Cloud’s family announced their loss in a statement shared yesterday, which came just one week after his father’s funeral in Ireland.
“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” their statement began. “As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”
“Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend,” the statement continued.
“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.”

“There was no one quite like Angus,” Euphoria‘s creator, Sam Levinson, said in a statement to NY Post following his death.
“He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon. He also struggled, like many of us, with addiction and depression.
“I hope he knew how many hearts he touched. I loved him. I always will. Rest in peace and God Bless his family.”
