Angus Cloud was reluctant to play Mac Miller in Biopic; Read Why

Angus Cloud, who passed away on Monday at the age of 25, stated he would not play Mac Miller in a biopic despite their striking similarities in appearance.

"I don’t think I would be prepared to take on someone’s life and legacy and try to replay that, you know? That man is a legend and he’s going to remain one. May he rest in peace, you feel me?" the Euphoria actor told Etalk last year of the role.

"Taking on someone’s whole life and becoming that person, like, how much respect you have to give them to actually try to portray them, you know? Like, you have to learn, you know what I’m saying," he added.

Fans have made comparisons between the late rapper and Cloud ever since he became famous on the popular television programme Euphoria. Following the announcement of his passing, fans also drew comparisons between their demises because Miller passed away in 2019 at the age of 26 after accidentally overdosing.

"Me realizing that Angus Cloud will never play mac miller in a biopic," wrote a fan on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, alongside a short clip of a man smashing something.

"I wanted so badly to see Angus Cloud play Mac Miller in a Biopic. Damn. RIP to them both. Both died TOO young," wrote another fan.

Another fan added: "Why does this feel like Mac Miller part 2??? I AM NOT OKAY. RIP Angus Cloud."

The death of Cloud in his family's Oakland, California residence was confirmed by his family on Monday.

"It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today," Cloud’s family said in a statement. "As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways."

The family noted that Cloud’s father was buried last week and the actor "intensely struggled with this loss."
