Chance Perdomo fans pay tribute as Gen V star dies aged 27

Tributes have poured in on social media for Chance Perdomo, the star of Gen V and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, who has died at the age of 27.

Perdomo died following a motorcycle accident, his publicist confirmed in a statement posted on Saturday (March 30).

“On behalf of the family and his representatives, it is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Chance Perdomo’s untimely passing as a result of a motorcycle accident,” it read.

He was perhaps best known for his role in Gen V, which is the spin-off series to The Boys.

The producers of the show released a statement saying: “We can't quite wrap our heads around this. For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling, an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person. Even writing about him in the past tense doesn't make sense.”
