Background

Award-winning Australian actor, Jacob Nathaniel Elordi, was born to Melissa and John Elordi. Elordi also has two sisters, Jaylynn Elordi and Isabella Elordi, and went to school in the southeast corner of Queensland, Brisbane. It’s known that Elordi always had an intuitive passion for acting as he showed interest in acting from a very young age. Before he started acting in big Hollywood movies and series, he was featured in short films called “Carpe Liam” and “Max & Iosefa.”

Elordi experienced what it is like to be in a Hollywood film in 2017 because he played as an extra in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” but as we all know, this was only the beginning of his successful acting career. A year later, Elordi got chosen to star alongside Joey King in the Netflix original movie “The Kissing Booth,” released in May 2018. Elordi and Joey King also started dating during the production of the film. The film was so successful that it released sequels in 2020 and 2021. However, this wasn’t his only movie in 2018, as he featured in the horror film “Mortuary Collection” and the comedy-drama film “Swinging Safari.”

A year after the release of “The Kissing Booth,” Elordi landed his second major role in the HBO teen drama television series “Euphoria.” The series has won multiple awards since 2019, with two seasons already in the bag and a third coming. This year, in March, the psychological thriller film “Deep Water” was released and he co-starred alongside Ana de Armas, Ben Affleck, and Finn Wittrock. Elordi also announced on Instagram in January that he’s the face of BOSS’s newly released fragrance.
