Jacob Elordi, born June 26 in sunny Brisbane, Australia, is basically one of those actors who popped out of the theater world and just never looked back. Seriously, if you haven’t seen his face plastered across your screen yet, where’ve you been hiding? He’s done it all—from the wild, twisty drama of Saltburn (that’s Emerald Fennell’s 2023 brainchild, by the way), to the guilty-pleasure Netflix hit The Kissing Booth back in 2018. And, come on, who could forget his role in Euphoria? The guy basically oozes conflicted, messy vibes, and people ate it up. That HBO/A24 combo was straight-up magic for his career. But it’s not just the huge, buzzy projects—he’s got 2 Hearts tucked under his belt too, flexing a bit of his romantic side. Dude’s not afraid of a tearjerker, apparently. He started off in theater, which honestly explains a lot; you can tell he’s got that stage presence that just kinda grabs you, even when he’s just standing there, brooding or whatever. Elordi’s got that Aussie charm, sure, but he’s also managed to leapfrog into Hollywood’s big leagues without losing any of that raw, unfiltered energy he started with. From angsty high schooler to dark, unpredictable characters, he’s not here to play it safe—and it shows.
So, let’s talk about Jacob Elordi and the lengths he went for The Kissing Booth back in 2018. The dude literally didn’t know how to ride a motorbike before landing the role, but hey, nothing like a starring gig to force you out of your comfort zone, right? He hopped straight into lessons and, honestly, if you watch the movie, you’d never guess he was a rookie. The film itself is this whirlwind teen rom-com, all about forbidden crushes, best friend drama, and those wild high school moments that feel like the end of the world (but really aren’t). Elordi’s character, Noah Flynn, rolls up looking all mysterious and rebellious, and yeah, the bike totally adds to that whole “bad boy” vibe. The motorbike scenes? They look slick, but knowing he learned just for the part gives them a whole new layer. Kinda cool seeing actors go the extra mile—literally.
Someone offered me an audition for Superman—yeah, *that* Superman. I just laughed and said no thanks. Way too much for me. Plus, those superhero movies? They’re just not my thing. People always say, “Oh, you never know, maybe you’ll change your mind!” But honestly, I doubt it. At this point in my life, I want to work on stuff I’d actually watch myself. Those big, dark blockbusters make me squirm in my seat, bored outta my mind. My agent's always nudging me to keep my answers open-ended—“Anything can happen!” Sure, but come on. I know what I like, and it’s not wearing tights and flying around. Let someone else have the cape. I’ll be over here making weird little movies that make me happy.
