Zendaya and Angus Cloud have more in common than just their hit show. According to ShowBiz Cheat Sheet, the pair both grew up in Oakland, California and attended Oakland School for the Arts. Per the school’s website, they are a nonprofit charter school housing grades 6-12. With over 800 students in the school, it’s unlikely that the pair ever crossed paths, especially since, according to Screen Rant, Zendaya is 25-years-old and Angus Cloud is 23-years-old.
Still, it’s clear that the school, which focuses on the arts and offers an immersive arts education program alongside academics, has acted as a strong beginning for the talented actors. But, while the pair may have attended the same school, their paths to stardom are actually quite different. Zendaya got her big break at just 14-years-old when she was cast on Disney Channel’s “Shake it Up” (via Insider). But Cloud had a different trajectory. In fact, per Glamour, the now-famous actor was working at a chicken-and-waffle restaurant when a casting director found him off the street and cast him in “Euphoria.”
