“I don’t think it’ll truly feel real or hit me until we’re filming and I won’t see Angus on set,” she shared. “[At least] when we are filming, all of our eyes are on each other and we’re there for each other, just in a different way than we’re able to when we’re all in very separate places in the world.”
She added: “It’s really interesting when someone passes away in our industry, because they’re still alive in so many forms.”
The actors starred alongside each other in seasons 1 and 2 of the HBO series. Sweeney played Cassie Howard, a popular girl struggling to cope amidst a messy series of relationships, and Cloud portrayed Fezco “Fez” O’Neill, a drug dealer with a sensitive soul underneath.

Cloud’s familyconfirmed that he died at their home in Oakland, California at age 25 on July 31. The Alameda County Coroner later told PEOPLE that hiscause of deathwas determined to be acute intoxication following an accidental overdose.
Cloud’s death came shortly after thedeath of his father. “The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend,” the family’s statement continued. “Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence."
“Angus you were an open soul, with the kindest heart, and you filled every room with laughter,” Sweeney wrote. “This is the hardest thing ive ever had to post, and im struggling to find all the words.”
“You will be missed more than you know, but I’m so blessed to have known you in this lifetime, and I’m sure everyone who has ever met you feels the same,” she continued. “This heartache is real and I wish we could’ve had one more hug and 711 run. All my love is with you. 🖤”
