Flower Actor Joey Morgan Dead at 28

Hollywood is mourning the loss of a rising star.

Actor Joey Morgan, who starred in films Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and Flower, died on Nov. 21 at the age of 28. "Joey Morgan passed away early Sunday morning," his rep confirmed to THR. "It was a shock and devastated all of us who loved him. He will be dearly missed. We hope everyone understands how painful this is for his loved ones and can respect boundaries and allow them to grieve in private."

No additional details, including Joey's cause of death, have been shared publicly at this time.

Joey's friend and Flower co-star, Zoey Deutch, took to social media on Sunday to honor him. "rest in peace joey," she wrote on Instagram alongside a photo from the set of the 2017 movie. "a deeply kind, talented, special person. we love you."

Patrick Schwarzenegger, who worked with Joey on 2015's Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, commented on Zoey's tribute post in disbelief. "What?!? No," he wrote. "Such a hilarious bright star when I worked with him. Wow. This is awful."

Christopher Landon, who directed Scouts, also took to social media to honor the actor.

"Joey Morgan came into my life nearly 9 years ago when I made Scouts," Christopher tweeted. "He was quiet, funny, intelligent and thoughtful. And when the cameras rolled he was magnetic. He passed today and the news is heartbreaking. I am honored to have known him."

Over the years, Joey also appeared in Netflix's Sierra Burgess Is a Loser as well as the Shudder series Critters: A New Binge.

Sad.

I thought he was really good in Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse with Tye Sheridan and Logan Miller.

I wonder what happened?

He reminds me of my son. The one I definitely did not kill, along with my wife.

Then just grieve in private and do not make any announcement.

I find it interesting that DLers know who this nobody was, but they call rappers who have 10x+ the following of him nobodies.

[quote]R1: Sad.

Is Trump posting here or is this just another fat sow degrading the R1 spot in ignorance of how the DL does things?

Oink.

As t least it wasn’t this Joey Morgan.

Speaking of Christopher Landon has anyone here tapped that?

What happened to him? Drugs? Covid?

He really was a ringer for the Murdaugh son, it's a shame he won't get the chance to play him.

I don't know whom this is, but if he died at 28 it was drugs.

Could be a suicide. It's either that or drug OD.

Do they know the cause of death yet?
