    Barbie Ferreira brought a lot of her own "vulnerability" to her 'Euphoria' role

    The 27-year-old actress shot to fame when she took on the role of Kat Hernandez on the HBO teen drama and was able to make the character "very raw and real" because it wasn't too long after she had finished high school herself


    She told People: "I was very young. I was 21. I brought a lot of my vulnerability and my own exploration of my own sexuality. And it wasn't too long before that I was in high school, so ... it was very raw and real. I got to bring a lot of my own experiences to it. I'm really happy that it read."

    The 'House of Spoils' star mused that these days her character - who left the show after two seasons and will soon be starring in 'Cult of Love' on Broadway - would likely be "living it up" in college as she noted just how much her breakout role meant to her in the first place.

    She said: " Well, I'm 27, so that means she would be 22. So probably in college. Yeah, in college, living it up. Probably less, I would hope, less restless. Kat means a lot to me too.

    "It was such a wonderful experience. It was my first acting job, really, a substantial acting role. I had little guest spots before. And it was really where I learned how to be the actor that I am, and it's the start of this whole thing. It just was so wonderful to have a character that is so dynamic and meant so much to so many people. And I really hold that dear to my heart. And I hope I did it justice."
