Euphoria Star Angus Cloud Says Shrek Is His Favorite Rom-Com
Angus Cloud, who plays Fez on HBO’s Euphoria, reveals Shrek is his favorite romantic comedy. Sam Levinson’s Euphoria centers on the darker side of Gen Z, following a group of high school students through their experiences with addiction, trauma, identity, and sex (among other things). Following the show’s debut in 2019, its overwhelming popularity led to an almost immediate season 2 renewal. In addition to Cloud, Euphoria stars Zendaya, Maude Apatow, Eric Dane, Jacob Elordi, Storm Reid, Hunter Schafer, and Sydney Sweeney.
Earlier this month, Euphoria finally premiered its second season. The first episode saw Cloud’s college dropout/drug dealer, Fezco or «Fez,» return in dramatic fashion.

Now, Fez is one of Euphoria’s most beloved characters, and Cloud, four years after being discovered by a casting agent at a chicken-and-waffles restaurant in Brooklyn, is currently filming The Line, will appear next in Your Lucky Day, and, perhaps someday, a romantic comedy.
