Angus Cloud remained open about his struggles with mental health well after he landed his starring role in “Euphoria.” In a 2019 interview with GQ, the star admitted that he was naïve about the demands of the acting world before playing “Fezco.” Being on his feet constantly working as a waiter in New York City did little to prepare the star for how tiring playing a character could be. “It’s a different kind of hard. I am not running around sweating, but it’s that mental sh*t. You have to stay focused. You have to be on point. You can’t call in sick. Acting takes a lot out of you. I’d be drained, but I was just sitting there acting,” he admitted.

In a clip from an interview that resurfaced on TikTok, Cloud got candid about his offscreen life. “I just feel like, everything going on in the world, like, you’re gonna go click on my page and see me smiling and happy and living my life like everything’s good,” he said. “Everything is not good. Everything is pretty bad. My life, personally, I’m maintaining, you know what I’m saying, but, generally, this sh** is f***ed up.” Cloud also revealed that he felt like he had “imposter syndrome” around his Oscar-nominated cast mates, and struggled to see himself as a capable actor. “I’m like, ‘I don’t know what I am doing. Why did they bring me over here for this? They should have gotten a real actor for this job,'” he said in the same 2019 GQ interview.
