Hollywood’s newest star Angus Cloud, who rose to fame for his role in the hit show Euphoria, has an Irish connection.
Angus, whose full name is Conor Angus Cloud Hickey, was born in Oakland, California, but his family is originally from Ireland.
Many of his family members still live here, and he was even planning to move back to Ireland before he landed his breakout role in Euphoria.

Before landing his role on Euphoria and getting to work with Zendaya, Alexa Demie, and Sydney Sweeney, Angus was actually working in a chicken and waffles restaurant in New York. But he was randomly scouted one day while walking down the street and asked to audition for the show.
The chance encounter led to him landing the role of Fez, a drug deal with a sweet side, and the rest is history.
