During an interview with Access, last year, the actor got candid about his experience of working with the 27-year-old star and had nothing but words of praise for her. He even mentioned that all he was doing was reacting to Zendaya’s acting during their scenes together.

She’s doing the acting, I really just gotta sit there and react, you know.” He continued, “I’m like blessed, you know. It’s the back-and-forth, you need that energy and she always brings that positive ready-to-work hustle.”
In a statement, Angus Cloud’s family mentioned that the actor was dealing with the painful loss of his father, who was also his best friend. The statement read, “Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend.
