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, Australian actor Jacob Elordi 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 Jacob Elordi 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?

'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.'
