Last week he buried his father and grieved deeply at the loss of him. The only relief we have left is knowing that Angus has now been reunited with his father, who was his best friend.

Angus’s professional career had been short. He started just four years ago precisely in Euphoria, with hardly any acting experience. In an interview with the media CultureLeisure made a year and a half ago in Los Angeles, he himself confessed. “Everything was completely new to me, I had no idea what I was doing. I had no experience, nor did I attend acting classes. So he was literally trying to remember the lines and trying to picture the way that person would act in each situation. I just imagined it was real, ”he recounted.
Later he has appeared in a couple of video clips, in cigarettesalong with Juice Wrld, and in mommywith Becky G and Karol G, as well as in two other films, The Line and north hollywood. As an icon of generation Z, he had also become something of a style benchmark, starring in the latest campaign for the sports company Puma and becoming an ambassador for the Polo Fragrances perfume line.
