Jacob Elordi

Jacob Elordi was born on June 26, 1997, in Brisbane, Australia. His early exposure to performance came through school musicals, where he participated in productions like ‘Seussical’ and ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.’ This theatrical background, coupled with an early inspiration from actors like Heath Ledger, steered him towards a career in acting. He honed his craft by attending an acting school in Melbourne before moving to the United States in 2017 to pursue opportunities in the entertainment industry.

Elordi’s breakthrough arrived with his role as Noah Flynn in Netflix’s “The Kissing Booth” (2018), which rapidly achieved widespread popularity and led to two sequels in 2020 and 2021. Following this, he secured the role of Nate Jacobs in HBO’s critically acclaimed drama series “Euphoria” (2019), a performance that garnered significant attention and was described as an impressive career pivot. During the initial production phases of “Euphoria,” Elordi experienced a period of personal and professional uncertainty, at times sleeping in his car with limited funds, which underscored his commitment to his acting aspirations.

In 2023, Elordi further diversified his acting portfolio with two notable performances. He portrayed Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’s biographical drama “Priscilla” and starred as Felix Catton in Emerald Fennell’s black comedy thriller “Saltburn,” earning a BAFTA Award nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for the latter. His recent work also includes hosting an episode of “Saturday Night Live” in 2024 and appearing in Paul Schrader’s “Oh, Canada” and “On Swift Horses” in the same year, demonstrating a consistent progression in his acting career.
