Tall Girl main actress Ava Michelle told out about the tragic loss she experienced in February 2021, when her brother Devan, who was just 23 years old at the time, died as a result of fentanyl toxicity while Tall Girl 2 was being released and promoted. In a recent interview, the actress stated about her brother’s untimely death:
“It was completely unexpected and clearly an accident. It’s still difficult to discuss, but I believe it’s necessary.”
The family refused to provide any information about Devan’s untimely demise. Ava, on the other hand, seeks to highlight and bring awareness to the dangers of unintentional accidents caused by strong opioid, which is often discovered mixed with other medications.
‘Tall Girl 2’ explores the untimely loss of actress Ava Michelle’s brother.
The actress conveyed her sorrow over losing her brother and how much she misses him in a meaningful Instagram post. According to reports, the actress said that more young people have died as a result of a fentanyl overdose in the past few years than during the COVID-19 epidemic. In an interview, she stated:
“We should be talking about this a lot more than we are. This is something I’m really enthusiastic about, and I’m going to form my own foundation [to raise awareness] about it.”
Ava and her mother, Jeanette Cota, launched Identified, a clothing collection inspired by her brother Devan, in December. The actress said that Devan intended to start the clothing company, which he called the night before he died. She stated:
“This was something that meant a great deal to him. So my mother and I made it happen, and it went live on Christmas Day, and we’re overjoyed. It has a wonderful meaning and a lot of him in it, which I think is extremely unique and something he would absolutely want us to keep doing. So, ideally, something lovely can emerge from something less than beautiful.”
Aside from her involvement with Identified, Ava is presently promoting her recently released film Tall Girl 2. She said that the highs and lows experienced by her character Jodi continue to touch close to home. She said, ”
“It’s as though Jodi and I are on the same emotional roller coaster.”
