How ‘Euphoria’ star Angus Cloud broke his skull in 2013

Angus Cloud probably wasn’t feeling euphoric after this.

The actor, 24, known for his portrayal of the drug dealer Fezco on “Euphoria,” revealed he nearly died after falling into a construction pit and breaking his skull in 2013.

“It’s real,” he told Variety on Wednesday of the scar that runs along the left side of his scalp.

“I broke my skull on Friday the 13th,” Cloud said, explaining he was walking alone at night in downtown Oakland, Calif., when he fell into a pit.

“I woke up 12 hours later at the bottom. I was trapped,” he continued.

“I eventually climbed out after — I don’t know how long. It was hella hard to climb out, because my skull was broken, but my skin wasn’t, so all the bleeding was internal, pressing up against my brain. But they wasn’t gonna find me down there. I found myself. Or God found me, whatever you want to call it.”

Cloud, who had broken his fingers during the fall, managed to pull himself out of the 10-foot deep ditch.

“But I didn’t feel no pain,” he said. “I was in survival mode, you feel me?”

He took the bus home to his mother’s house, but she initially thought he was on drugs.

“Because I was a kid! I was 14 or 15 … my pupils was hella dilated. I was trying to tell her what happened, but I could only start a sentence — I couldn’t finish it. So I was like, ‘I’m just gonna go sleep in my bed,’” he explained, noting his mother didn’t let him fall asleep.

“I would have died,” he said.

“She gave me some water, and I started throwing up hella mouthfuls of crimson red blood. S–t was crazy. So then my mama took me to the children’s hospital, and they saved my life. That’s what the scar’s from. They cut my head open, they put some screws and a plate over where I broke my skull and — s–t, sealed me back up, and that was that.”

Cloud also revealed he suffered “minor brain damage” from the accident.

Cloud spent five days in the intensive care unit, “loaded off morphine,” followed by time in non-intensive care.

“The brain is so fragile,” the actor said. “It was damn near like nothing really happened. I’m so blessed to just have minor brain damage. You know, it’s so minor it ain’t even really worth speaking about.”

The actor, whose endearing, laidback cadence closely resembles that of his character Fezco, famously mumbled his way through a now-viral interview at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in March.

Cloud attributes part of his intonation to the accident nine years ago.

“[It’s] probably a little bit slower,” he said of his speech. “And I mix the front of one word with the back of the next. I’ll scribble-scrabble two words together. Mix-match.”
