Whilst we can all universally agree that The Kissing Booth was a truly terrible Netflix rom-com, we’re at least grateful that it introduced us to the heartthrob that is Jacob Elordi.
Since 2018 when he shot to fame as Noah Flynn, the Australian actor has gone from strength to strength in his career playing the loathed Nate Jacobs in the high school drama Euphoria and Charlie De Lisle in Deep Water – the ill-fated film starring Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck.
And he’s not slowing down any time soon. In fact, last year alone he starred in three major motion pictures: The Sweet East – which premiered at Cannes Film Festival on 18 May 2023 to positive reviews, Emerald Fennell’s upcoming thriller Saltburn and of course the highly anticipated Priscilla – in which he’ll follow in actor Austin Butler’s footsteps and put his own spin on iconic singer Elvis Presley.
But who exactly is Jacob Elordi, and why is he such a hot commodity at the moment?
Where is Jacob Elordi from?
He was born in Brisbane, Australia.
Where is Jacob Elordi’s real accent from?
Despite his convincing American accent in both The Kissing Booth and Euphoria as well as his brilliant English accent in Saltburn, Jacob naturally has an Australian accent.
Who does Jacob Elordi play in Priscilla?
He plays Elvis in the upcoming biopic about the singer’s wife, Priscilla. The film isn’t out until 5 January 2024, but the trailer has landed so get excited…
Who does Jacob Elordi play in Saltburn?
Jacob was the lead role in Emerald Fennell’s thriller, Saltburn, starring alongside Barry Keoghan from The Banshees of Inisherin. The film came out in the UK on 17 November.
After struggling to fit in at Oxford University, Oliver Quick (Keoghan) finds himself drawn into the world of the charming and aristocratic Felix Catton (Elordi), who invites him to Saltburn – his eccentric family’s sprawling estate – for a summer he won’t forget.
The film premiered on 4 October at the London Film Festival.
Who does Jacob Elordi play in Euphoria?
In 2019, Jacob began playing Nate Jacobs in the HBO series Euphoria.
After being asked what it was like to play someone as emotionally manipulative as Nate Jacobs, Jacob said, ‘It’s so enjoyable. Playing Nate is so much fun.
‘Yeah, it’s demanding and intense. That’s what keeps me interested in this job, because I’ll never be like that in my real life. So, if I can play those emotions and that kind of person and completely shed myself, that’s a treat.’
Is Jacob Elordi single?
We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but sadly Jacob Elordi is currently loved up with influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli – daughter of actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli. In 2019 her name hit the headlines as part of the college admissions bribery scandal.
Olivia Jade isn’t the only celeb that Jacob has dated in the past though as he previously dated his The Kissing Booth co-star Joey King and his Euphoria co-star Zendaya. Jacob was also linked to model Kaia Gerber in 2020, following his break-up with Zendaya.
