Dating & Relationship Status
Jacob Elordi has been linked to several celebrities, including actress Joey King and social media star Olivia Jade Giannulli. However, he is currently unmarried and does not have any children.
John immigrated to Australia from the Basque Country at age eight. "My grandfather would strangle me if he knew that it said Spanish descent", Elordi said of his Wikipedia page, which originally said his father's family was from Spain before he corrected it to Basque.
While a player on his school's rugby team, Elordi performed in school musicals starting at age 12, starring in productions of Seussical and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and he soon began taking acting classes. He was first inspired to become an actor by Heath Ledger, particularly because of his role as the Joker in the 2008 film The Dark Knight. He also played Oberon in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. At age 14, Elordi started practising his American accent, modelling it after that of Vin Diesel. He also attempted modelling at his mother's suggestion at age 15, but was told he was too tall to fit into the sample clothes. Elordi attended the private all-boys Roman Catholic secondary schools of St Kevin's College and St Joseph's College, where he felt "deeply unsettled". According to Elordi, he "barely finished high school".
Throughout secondary school, Elordi continued to play rugby until he broke a bone in his back during a match, which, according to him, pushed him away from athletics and toward acting. He has stated that, after reading Waiting for Godot in a drama class at age 15, acting "became [his] church" and his personality changed as a result. His mother also encouraged him to pursue acting. He was inspired by actors such as Marlon Brando, Laurence Olivier, Daniel Day-Lewis, Christian Bale, and Ledger, and would read their biographies while emulating their behaviours. He later attended an acting school in Melbourne and moved to the United States in 2017 at age 19 to pursue a career in acting.
Elordi reprised the role in the sequels The Kissing Booth 2, which filmed in mid-2019 in Cape Town, and was released in July 2020; and The Kissing Booth 3, which was released on Netflix in August 2021. In a 2023 interview for GQ, he stated that he had not wanted to make them, calling them "ridiculous" and stating that he did them to "do whatever the fuck [he had] to do" to become an actor in the United States. He also spoke out against his objectification as a result of the films. After filming was completed for the first Kissing Booth film, Elordi moved to Los Angeles. He helped a friend of his film an audition for a role in Sam Levinson's HBO drama series Euphoria, a remake of the Israeli series of the same name. While occasionally sleeping in his car and couch surfing at friends' houses with little money left and his visa expiring soon, he auditioned for Euphoria himself, with plans for it to be his last audition before moving back home. He was then selected to play Nate Jacobs, a troubled high school football player with an abusive father, whom he portrayed from the show's pilot episode in 2019. Elordi described the character as "a narcissist" and "a sociopath", while Clay Skipper of British GQ referred to the character as an antihero. The role was described by Maanya Sachdeva of The Guardian as an "impressive career pivot" for Elordi and Samantha Bergeson of IndieWire called it his breakout role.
