Euphoria was Cloud’s first major acting role and he was expected to be part of season three – which has yet to begin production.
He was discovered for the part while he was just hanging out with his friends in Brooklyn.
Despite becoming a fan-favourite character on the show, Cloud iterated to Variety that he is not like his on-screen persona in real life.

He said: “It does bother me when people are like, ‘It must be so easy! You get to go in and be yourself’.
“I’m like, ‘Why don’t you go and do that?’. It’s not that simple. I brought a lot to the character. You can believe what you want. It ain’t got nothing to do with me.”
Jennifer Vandetti, the casting director on the show, also told the outlet that he doesn’t get enough credit for his performance on the show.
