In 2022, Cloud attended Variety's annual Power of Young Hollywood event where he recalled being "plucked off the street" for the role in "Euphoria."

"I was with some friends," Cloud said of the encounter. "We were just hanging out."

He added, "It does bother me when people are like, ‘It must be so easy. You get to go in and be yourself.’ I’m like, ‘Why don’t you go and do that?’ It’s not that simple. I brought a lot to the character. You can believe what you want. It ain’t got nothing to do with me."
