Jacob Elordi: The Big Australian Who Broke Hollywood
Jacob Elordi was born on 26 June 1997 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. He first caught global attention as Noah Flynn in Netflix’s The Kissing Booth franchise (2018–2021), but it was his haunting, physically towering performance as Nate Jacobs in HBO’s Euphoria that made the industry sit up and take notes. He is not just a pretty face, he is a serious actor with serious range.
His breakout dramatic moment came with Saltburn (2023), directed by Emerald Fennell, in which he played the magnetic, morally ambiguous Felix Catton opposite Barry Keoghan. The film became a cultural flashpoint and cemented Elordi as one of his generation’s most compelling screen presences. He followed that with the title role in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla (2023), playing a young Elvis Presley, a role that required him to inhabit one of the most iconic figures in American pop culture.
Elordi’s personal life has attracted as much search traffic as his films. His high-profile relationship with co-star Zendaya (2019–2020) and subsequent relationships have kept him in the entertainment press constantly. He is notoriously private despite the scrutiny, rarely discussing his romantic life in interviews.
Standing at approximately 6 ft 5 in (196 cm), Elordi has one of the most distinctive physical profiles in contemporary Hollywood, something directors have used to great effect, from his looming menace in Euphoria to his imposing charm in Saltburn. His combination of looks, height, and genuine acting chops makes him one of the most searched-for young actors on the internet today.
