If before the release of the series “Euphoria” everyone was talking mainly about Zendaya, after the success of the first season, Hollywood accepted several young talented actors into its arms. Among them is our today's hero – Jacob Elordi. We’ll tell you where you could have seen him before, which actresses the media has already “married” him to, and also show a couple of charming videos with his participation.
Spent most of his life in Australia
Jacob Elordi is 22 years old, most of which he has spent in his native Australia. The actor was born in Brisbane, Queensland. He loved sports since school, and together with his team he repeatedly won first place in rugby competitions. At the same time, Jacob was actively interested in art, participating in school plays and writing his own works.
In 2020, Elordi moved to the US and now lives in Los Angeles, but his origins are obvious as soon as he opens his mouth - the guy has a thick Australian accent.
Jacob Elordi now
At the moment, the actor is settled in Los Angeles. He is assigned to the cast of several films – “Euphoria” and “2 Hearts”, where his partners will be Eric Dane, Zendaya, Radha Mitchell and others. The tapes are at various stages of production. Jacob is also actively involved in the promotional tour of the film “The Kissing Booth”, giving interviews on various shows.
Elordi is not the most active user of social networks, although he has official profiles on several. Fans are not stopped by the fact that the actor leaves photos and messages extremely rarely. Interestingly, the number of subscribers is growing rapidly. Jacob already has more than five million followers on Instagram.

Started out as a model
Before becoming seriously interested in an acting career, Jacob became a model. On the Internet you can find a photo of him in a felt hat and jacket at a fashion show in Melbourne, where he took first prize in the “Boys from 13 to 17 years old” category.
It is now obvious that Elordi does not intend to give up his modeling career. After working on the TV series Euphoria, the actor starred in a commercial for Calvin Klein, which also featured models Naomi Campbell, Bella Hadid, Kara Taylor, Haley Foster, as well as musicians, a football player and other stars.
Jacob and Joey broke up
From the outside, their relationship seemed ideal. But at some point, fans sounded the alarm: the couple stopped appearing at social events, posting photos together, they soon unfollowed each other on Instagram, and Joey deleted almost all of their photos together. The separation occurred in October 2018.
After the breakup, none of them commented to the press. Both actors are now in great demand and are focused on work.
At the end of 2020, rumors began to appear in the media about a romance between Elordi and his colleague in the series “Euphoria” Zendaya.
Joey wasn't alone for long either:
Starred in "Pirates of the Caribbean"
Elordi began his acting career famously, but hardly anyone noticed it. After filming a couple of Australian short films, Jacob, as we already mentioned, moved to America and almost immediately grabbed a role in the film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. You're unlikely to remember this, because he played a cameo character codenamed "tall guy in a red uniform" (yes, the hero didn't even have a name). The role was so minor that Jacob Elordi's name was not included in the credits.
Became famous after the film “The Kissing Booth”
Jacob's first notable film work was the film “The Kissing Booth,” where he played one of the main characters, Noah Flynn. The romantic comedy quickly made Jacob the object of teen adoration.
Elordi's popularity was fueled by the news of his affair with Joey King, the actress who played the role of Noah Flynn's love interest. Their relationship began on the set, after which the couple often appeared together in public. However, in the fall of 2020, it became known that the guys broke up.
For the movie The Kissing Booth, Jacob had to learn how to ride a motorcycle, and he became so interested in it that he even considered buying his own bike.
Jacob is currently filming the second part of The Kissing Booth, which is due out next year, so fans of the Elordi-King couple are not losing hope.
Personal life
During the filming of The Kissing Booth, Jacob Elordi began dating young Hollywood actress Joey King, who played the female lead in the film.

In an interview with Bello magazine, Joey admitted that their relationship developed in parallel with the love line in the film: from simple friendship, making fun of each other, to realizing their own feelings. The need to constantly spend time together on the set - about 17 hours a day - also played a significant role.
Recently, in April 2020, the couple was spotted at the Sunday farmers market in Studio City.
Joey and Jacob were buying fresh vegetables and fruits and looked very happy.
In this video, Jacob Elordi and Joey King have fun:
Joey is actively pursuing his career. She not only acts, but also does voice acting and participates in the creation of videos.
Elordi and Joey are actively involved in public life in the United States. In particular, at the beginning of 2020, the actors took part in a rally to tighten gun control after incidents in American schools.
In 2020, the couple quietly separated, without drawing attention to this event.

The role in Euphoria is his most difficult to date.
The series “Euphoria” is the second serious project for Jacob after “The Kissing Booth.” And if in a rom-com he plays a rather stereotypical role of a handsome guy, then in Euphoria he plays an incredibly complex character. Heroine has already talked about why you should watch this series. After watching the first season, we can confidently add Elordi's excellent dramatic work to these reasons.
As the actor said in one of his interviews, filming lasted a year and took a lot of strength and energy:
We've all gone to hell and come back from it in the best way possible. It required physical exertion, psychological input, but it was also very interesting. You feel tired in every part of you. You put yourself into this role.
Nate, played by Jacob, is only on the surface a typical “school boy and jock.” Quite quickly, he reveals a completely unexpected side, showing that behind his toxic masculinity lies deep trauma and self-doubt. The actor himself spoke best about his character.
