In an interview with GQ, the 27-year-old actor revealed that writer and creator Sam Levinson originally wanted to kill off his character in the first season. Supposedly, Fez was never going to make it to the season two premiere.
“Apparently, because they cast me off the street, I guess the character of Fezco was [never meant to stick around],” he told the outlet. “I don’t even know how. I never saw that script. No one ever told me.”
So, how did Cloud find out about his character’s (almost) untimely fate? Well, it seems his co-star, Elordi, told him the shocking truth. “It was one day when we were filming the pilot that I think Jacob told me, he was like, 'Oh yeah, you didn’t know? Your character gets [imitates brains getting blown out],'” Cloud explained.
“It never ended up happening,” he continued. “I think that they liked what I did and so they decided to keep me alive and let me rock. I don’t know how I was going out, but hopefully, I would’ve gone out like a G.”
So, there could have been a show without Fez??!! We simply don’t want to imagine it.
