Hunter Schafer is grappling with grief for ‘Euphoria’ costar Angus Cloud: ‘It doesn’t make sense’

 


Hunter Schafer is still processing the loss of her friend and “Euphoria” costar Angus Cloud.

“I’ve never had a friend that I was that close to and that was my age pass before,” Schafer, 25, said in an interview with GQ published on Tuesday. “It’s really surreal. It doesn’t make sense. And yeah, it’s new. It’s a new kind of grieving.”

CNN previously reported that Cloud died in July of an accidental overdose. He was 25.

Schafer acknowledged that “people really fell in love with Angus,” and that she knew while working alongside him how special of a person he was.

“He was really one of the heartbeats of ‘Euphoria.’ It’s always the people that are just kind of a little too good for the world and a little too pure,” Schafer said in the interview. “He was a f—ing angel. He was sunshine.”

Cloud was a rising actor best known for his breakout role as the softhearted drug dealer Fezco in the HBO drama “Euphoria,” a character that became a beloved fixture among viewers over the course the show’s two seasons. (HBO, like CNN, is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery).

Schafer, who plays Jules on the Emmy-winning series, said that as she processes the loss of her friend, her grief comes “randomly.”

“It will hit me when I’m on the f—ing toilet,” she said. “Grief is f—ing weird.”

The first season of “Euphoria” debuted in 2019 and Season 2 aired in 2022. The series follows a group of high school students navigating life as they grapple with addiction, sexuality and coming of age.

The series – which starred Zendaya, Schafer and Cloud along with Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi – was expected to return for a third season in 2025, but production has reportedly been delayed.

Taylor Swift is getting a channel dedicated to her on SiriusXM

  Taylor Swift is getting a channel dedicated entirely to her on SiriusXM, and the channel number? Channel 13 (Taylor’s Version), obviously. The channel will run from April 7 through May 6, the company said in a statement Tuesday. It will coincide with the April release of Swift’s new album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” And because she loves an Easter egg, the 13th day of the channel is the actual April 19th release date of “Poets,” which is Swift’s eleventh studio album. According to SiriusXM’s statement: “Channel 13 (Taylor’s Version) will air 24/7 across North America and will be a destination for fans to hear Swift’s music from her chart-topping 17-year career, including Eras Tour favorites, all (Taylor’s Versions), From the Vault tracks, live tracks, bonus tracks and much more.” Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s president and chief content officer, called Swift a “legend” and said her work “will be on full display” during the channel run. “The versatility of Taylor’s music and the

Beyoncé receives the iHeartRadio Innovator Award, presented to her by Stevie Wonder

  It continued to be a celebration of all things Bey on Monday at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles, where Beyoncé was awarded the prestigious Innovator Award. Legendary artist Stevie Wonder took the stage to present the “Texas Hold ‘Em” hitmaker with the accolade, giving a summary of her unparalleled accomplishments thus far, which include being the “first African-American woman to headline Coachella” as well as having the distinction of having a number one hit across all four decades since the 1990s. And that’s not to mention arguably her buzziest career moment yet, which of course was the drop of her eighth studio album “Cowboy Carter” on Friday, her unofficial entry into country music (but not only), as well as the second act in her “Renaissance” trilogy which began with that aptly titled record in 2022. Queen B came out wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket and now-trademark cowboy hat to accept her trophy, first addressing Wonder. “Thank you for making a wave for al
