This handsome Aussie's rise to fame has been a joy to watch. Look out Hollywood because Jacob Elordi's clearly here to stay and continues to steal hearts across the world with his timeless talent and starry smile. A lover of classic films and an especially bigger fan of fellow Australian Heath Ledger, Elordi's first ever role was as an extra in 2017's Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales. He was so fresh at the time he never even got credited on the film. His interest in acting began in high school and he went on to study drama at St. Joseph's College in Brisbane. As a kid Jacob often found himself lost in literary work and this deepened his understanding of the performing arts. I think it's where my imagination began was from reading books and then picturing them in my head, you know, that's where characters come from I think. The Euphoria star considered a career in sports but eventually acting became his only focus and it's paid off. Standing tall and strong at 6 foot 5, you can see why an athletic career could have been an option. He was also interested in modelling as a teen but was turned down due to being too tall. Good looking as he is though, many brands including Calvin Klein and Bottega Veneta eventually took notice and used him in campaigns. A performer who goes the extra mile to perfect his performances, Elordi prides himself on doing whatever it takes to get into character. In the film Deep Waters his character was a pianist and to be convincing, Jacob took piano classes and practiced at home for months. For his fast-paced role in The Kissing Booth he learned how to ride a motorbike, safely of course, while his performance in 2025's Frankenstein came with a different challenge. Very little time for a lot of character preparation. I mean I had three or four weeks to get ready to play the creature so I didn't have a lot of time to think really so I just kind of had to do, you know, you had to make sure I was a blank canvas and make sure I was open to the process, you know. Well he still managed to snag nominations from the BAFTAs, Golden Globes and Oscars for the role. If anyone has proven time and time again that they can make it happen, it's Elordi, thanks to his determination coupled with discipline. A celebrated actor with followers that span many age groups, Jacob's been open about the effects, both positive and negative, of social media use for younger users in this time when everything is on digital display. An intentional browser himself, Elordi admits it must be quite the rollercoaster for teens who feel they must live their lives in front of a camera as well. He much prefers interactions in person, not through a screen, unless it's acting.
