Mac Miller started grinding for his now-legendary rap career at the ripe age of 14 in his hometown of Pittsburgh (via Rolling Stone). His uncanny doppelgänger Angus Cloud had less of a prolific come-up. In fact, as GQ reported, the Oakland-native was scouted for "Euphoria" in Manhattan on the street and was asked to read for the pilot. He ultimately nailed the role in which fans often say he's playing himself.
Since the HBO hit-show first aired in 2019, Cloud's stardom has been instantaneous. Per Deadline and PopBuzz, he has two movies in the works and even shaved off his signature beard for one of his roles. Because he's taking on roles in addition to the show that gave him his claim to fame, he was asked to address the elephant in the room during an interview with the Canadian entertainment magazine, ETALK: Would Cloud ever play Miller in a biopic? Cloud said no for good reason.
"Taking on someone's whole life and becoming that person like, how much respect you have to give them to actually try to portray them, you know? I don't think I would be prepared to take on someone's life and legacy and try to replay that," he said. "That man is a legend and he's going to remain one. May he rest in peace, you feel me?"
