"I love movies and I love acting, and it's been my love for a long time, so I just went with it." Jacob Elordi's journey into the world of acting began with a great obsession and admiration for Heath Ledger's unforgettable portrayal of the Joker in "The Dark Knight." Born in 1997 in Australia, Elordi's rise to stardom began with his role in the Netflix original movie "The Kissing Booth." But before playing the iconic Elvis Presley in the 2023 biopic "Priscilla," he appeared in the acclaimed HBO series "Euphoria," where he showcased his talents alongside Zendaya. Her performance in Emerald Fennell's psychological drama "Saltburn" further cemented her reputation, bringing a depth and charisma as the film's "secret weapon." In Sofia Coppola's "Priscilla," he meticulously portrayed the complex character of Elvis, capturing both his charm and tumultuous nature, delivering a nuanced performance that delves into the man behind the legend. Beyond his acting side, Elordi has dabbled in modeling, most notably for Calvin Klein, and always sticks to his passions, such as surfing, beachcombing and reading.
