Who Played Connor on Degrassi?
This Degrassi Actor Got So Insanely Hot, It Will Have You Readjusting Your Glasses
Degrassi was one of the most beloved teen dramas in the early 2000s, which is why fans were deep in their feelings when the cast reunited for Drake's latest music video, "I'm Upset." Not only is the high-school-reunion-themed video jam-packed with nostalgic references (including the show's iconic theme song), but it also reintroduces us to our favourite characters and the actors who played them. While Emma and Manny (played by Miriam McDonald and Cassie Steele, respectively) haven't aged a day, there was one star who made us do a double take: Connor freaking DeLaurier.
Let's just say Connor, who was played by Canadian actor A.J. Saudin, had a serious glow-up. To be honest, we didn't even realise it was him until the credits rolled and showed the side by side of him and his character. Since wrapping the series in 2015, the 26-year-old, who now goes by the professional name Saudin, has put his acting days behind him and pursued a career in music. Connor really has grown up, you guys! If you thought his cameo in the video was thirst-worthy, get ready to rethink your entire childhood as you scroll through his hottest Instagram snaps.
