In 2011, he was chosen to star in the music video for "We Found Love" by Rihanna. Since then his profile has risen in popularity. O'Shaughnessy has featured in some of the works by Oswald Boateng, Fred Perry and Stone Island (where he featured in a short film portraying his aspiration to be an Olympic boxer). He appeared on the cover of fashion magazines as well as featuring in the editorial by Bullett Magazine, alongside Vogue cover girl Valerie van der Graaf.
