In a thoughtful Instagram message, Zendaya shared a black-and-white photo of the actor. “Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty that is Angus (Conor),” she began. “I’m so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh (I’m smiling now just thinking of it).”

“I know people use this expression often when talking about folks they love…’they could light up any room they entered’ but boy let me tell you, he was the best at it. I’d like to remember him that way,” she continued. “For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I’ll cherish every moment.”

Definitely thinking of you and hoping you’re holding up okay,” one fan commented. “I’m so sorry for your loss. Mental illness is real, many people need help without getting it or seeking it. He was so talented and I loved his character in Euphoria,” another follower wrote.

“This news is tragic and it will take time to process it,” they continued. “Rest in peace Angus, you will meet your dad in heaven. He was a son, a brother, someone's friend, someone's role model and I hope that everyone who knew him manages to find strength in this difficult time.”
