How Euphoria star Angus Cloud found fame after being 'plucked off the street'
From serving greasy grub in a Brooklyn chicken and waffles shack, to stealing scenes in one of HBO's most celebrated dramas, the late great Angus Cloud enjoyed quite a final five years before tragically passing away this week.
On being noticed by street scout Eléonore Hendricks, the star told The Wall Street Journal in 2019: "She asked me if I would be down to do an audition, but she didn't exactly say what it was for. I thought it was some type of scam." "Because I was a kid! I was 14 or 15. She thought I was on drugs, 'cause my pupils was hella dilated. I was trying to tell her what happened, but I could only start a sentence — I couldn’t finish it. So I was like, 'I’m just gonna go sleep in my bed,'" he further recalled.
