Angus Cloud, the late actor who rose to fame after being discovered on the street for his role in the popular series 'Euphoria,' opened up about the origin of his noticeable scar in 2022. Despite some speculation that the scar was merely a makeup effect to enhance his character's image as a drug dealer, Cloud revealed that it is actually a genuine injury. According to him, he got the scar back in 2013 when he accidentally stumbled into a large construction pit while walking at night, resulting in a skull fracture.
"I woke up 12 hours later at the bottom. I was trapped." Cloud, who was a mere teenager at the time, recounted how he entered a state of survival instinct to extricate himself from the pit. Despite enduring a broken skull, broken fingers, and internal bleeding, he was aware that the likelihood of being found in that desolate place was slim. After a considerable amount of time, he miraculously managed to scale the pit and board a bus headed for his mother's house. Upon arrival, Cloud told his mother he wanted to sleep, but she recognized the seriousness of his injuries and prevented him from doing so. Cloud underwent a life-saving surgical procedure that left him with a visible scar. It involved opening his head, inserting screws and a plate to mend the fracture in his skull. Tragically, Cloud passed away 10 years later on July 31, 2023, of an accidental overdose.
