I don't know, but apparently, because they cast me off the street, I guess the character of Fezco was. You're chill." And then they became very close because they just kick it every day. She was just kind of a misfit, so she ended up having a lot of free time and she wasn't hanging with the kids at school and Fez just accepted her with open arms and said, "You can kick it with me. And, of course, part of the reason why she connected with Fez was because he was a drug dealer. I think Rue just found Fez in a time of her life when she felt alone and had started turning towards drugs. We see Fez’s backstory finally in this episode, but have you ever thought about, or discussed with Sam or Zendaya, just how Fez and Rue became so close? He even refers to her as family in this episode. But the root of their issue really stems from Nate's problems with Rue. Like you said, Nate snitched on Fez in the end of season 1 and sent the cops to his house. But that fight scene took a good chunk out of one of those days, so it was at least like six to eight hours. We were filming there for five days and each day was 7:00 PM till sunrise. Because we did the countdown to New Year’s and then the fight. Yeah, that scene took probably eight or nine hours to film, just the fight. I'm just saying that I was punching for like three hours straight. Might that have something to do with Fez’s extended party flirtation with Rue’s friend Lexi? Cloud can’t divulge, but he did talk to GQ about filming the party scene, Tupac, and Fez’s original fate. He swears he’s even more of a softie than Fez, a side that we’ll get to see more of on the show this season. He also enables some of its darkest, as a drug dealer who associates with dangerous criminals, supplies high school kids, and delivers beatdowns.Ĭloud, like his character, speaks slowly and softly and shares an affinity for Polo-but while the line between them is thin, it isn’t blurred. He has parlayed that authenticity into the show’s most sympathetic character and contributes the most tender moments-despite being somewhat monosyllabic and reserved-as one of Rue’s (Zendaya) most protective friends and the person least judgmental of her drug habit. Well, tonight’s premiere opens with a long-awaited, Scorsesian Fez backstory, and by episode’s end Nate finally gets a long overdue comeuppance at Fez’s hands.Ĭloud has said he was cast off the street when a casting agent saw him walking in New York and thought he looked the part. The first season finale also left Fezco in a precarious, life-threatening position, in part because of Nate (Jacob Elordi) the jock-villain whose manipulations and transgressions, which verged on Lex Luthor levels of diabolical, went largely unchecked. Only six characters out of the sprawling cast received the show’s signature backstory episode intro treatment in the first season, leaving fan-favorites like Angus Cloud’s softie-drug dealer Fezco waiting in the wings. It’s been almost two-and-a-half years since HBO’s Zendaya-fronted teen drama Euphoria wrapped its first season, and in season 2 (which began an eight-week run tonight), creator-writer-director Sam Levinson wastes no time giving viewers what they want.
