‘Euphoria’ Star Angus Cloud Talks ‘Fexi’ in Episode 6, Understanding Addiction, and If He Actually Uses Twitter

Angus Cloud has come a long way since a casting director discovered him while he was walking around in Brooklyn. In just a couple of years, the Oakland native has become the biggest breakout star of HBO’s hit show Euphoria and now his life consists of being a special guest at ​​New York Fashion Week’s hottest shows. Coach debuted their Fall 2022 collection with a live runway show in New York City on Monday, Feb. 14 and the actor sat front row next to the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, Tommy Dorfman, Rickey Thompson, and Kelvin Harrison Jr.—and all eyes were on Cloud. “It’s hella weird, people recognizing me. That’s foreign to me,” Cloud told Complex backstage before the show. He wore a multi-colored sherpa-lined jacket, with a white turtleneck underneath; it looked like something his Euphoria character Fezco would wear. 

Our conversation took place just hours after the sixth episode of Euphoria’s massive second season, “A Thousand Little Trees of Blood,” premiered. It was a big episode for Fez, who finally had a highly-anticipated interaction with Lexi Howard (Maude Apatow). Fez and Lexi, who have affectionately been given the name “Fexi,” are a much-needed reprieve from all the darkness on the show. The pair are some of the most endearing characters on the series, and even though they are starkly different from one another, seeing the inception of their friendship in the season’s first episode filled fans with hope that it would evolve into something more. Lexi and Fez got together again in this recent episode, chatting about the school play she’s putting together, which is inspired by her group of girlfriends and her sister, Cassie. They start watching the movie Stand By Me, and when it ends, they sing the titular track by Ben E. King, while laughing and crying together.
