to a family of Basque descent He attended the Catholic secondary school at Kevin's College,
Melbourne and St Joseph's College, Nudgee in Brisbane, where he began training in acting.
He showed interest in acting at a young age and participated in a lot of school drama.
7.SHOT TO FAME The almost 25-year-old 6'5 Aussie actor's
journey to fame was quite a smooth one.His passion to become an actor was sparked by
Heath Ledger's magnificent portrayal as the Joker in The Dark Knight, and he has worked
tirelessly to attain that goal ever since.
According to his father, his passion grew so strong that he began to consume films,
film books, and even YouTube footage of actors going through the audition process.
Jacob Elordi's acting career began with a role in the short film Carpe Liam, in which
he played the main character Lima.
He also appeared in another short film as Max in "Max and Iosefa" shortly after.
He is also credited as the writer of the film.
Contrary to common perception, Jacob was not cast in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men
Tell No Tales, despite the fact that it was his first professional filming experience.
He revealed on an edition of "Actually Me with GQ" that he was not cast, billed, or
credited, and that he did not audition for any part; he was simply an extra.
Jacob later auditioned and scored a supporting role in the box office success comedy-drama
Swinging Safari in 2018, playing Rooster, a lifeguard.
He relocated to Los Angeles for more prospects after finding success in his early ventures,
and there he auditioned for a role in the Netflix romantic comedy film The Kissing Booth.
He played Noah Flynn in this film, which set the course for his career, and he gained widespread
acclaim for his outstanding performance.
Following the release and success of the Netflix film, he became an overnight celebrity.
He later returned to reprise his role in the sequels, The Kissing Booth 2, which was filmed
in mid-2019 in Cape Town and released in July 2020 and The Kissing Booth 3, which was released
on August 11, 2021.

The Bend.

6.INTERESTS The 6'5 actor happens to be a multi-talented
individual.
His passion for film has led him to develop an interest in film writing.
He has a writing credit to his name for the short movie "Max and Iosefa ''. He is also
known to be good with cameras.
In a teaser of an episode of Vogue's 24-hours, two functional old school cameras of different
models were found in his home as well as art portraits, and that tells a lot about how
much he's into photography.
Fun fact: The first concert Jacob attended was Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP concert in
Australia.
He even camped at the concert just to be in the front row so he could see him leave.
That's a stan right there.
5.LOVE LIFE It is quite common in Hollywood for stars
in the same movie to date each other.
Well, that was the case of The Kissing Booth star Jacob and Joey King.
The two fell in love while on set but their romantic bond only lasted for about a year.
They still maintained a good onscreen relationship for the sequels of The Kissing Booth.
In 2019, it was rumored that Jacob was having a relationship with his Euphoria co-star Zendaya.
Neither Jacob nor Zendaya has either confirmed or debunked the rumor.
However, it became obvious who Jacob was dating when he confirmed his rumored relationship
with Kaia Gerber in October 2020.
Unfortunately, their spark died out in November 2021.
A month after, he was photographed with Olivia Jade on a date in Los Angeles.
The two haven't said anything about their involvement but a source close to Olivier
claims they are casually dating.
4.GETTING RIPPED If there’s anything Jacob loves other than
being onscreen, it's definitely getting ripped.
His shredded core and slender body is the result of his workout routine which is quite
rigorous and it's typically a full body workout.
Aside from getting ripped, Elordi uses his strength training as a therapeutic means to
prepare himself in both mental and physical ways for his roles.
Once he gets into the gym and has his headset on to Rage Against the Machine with his shirt
off, he executes what he calls the 40:20 blitz workout which includes tire flips, battle-rope
jumping jumps, ball slams and plank-ups.
And that's how he stays the heartthrob he is all year round.
3.CRIBS Elordi's Los Angeles home is right beneath
the Hollywood sign.
Before he shot to fame, he lived in a small house on the hills, from where he could see
the Hollywood sign from afar.
But now that he's rich, he has moved closer to it.
How much he paid for the house hasn't been disclosed yet, but it is close to the Hollywood
sign, and that alone says a lot.
In 2020.
He splurged $2 million on a 7 bedroom apartment in Byron Bay in Australia despite the fact
that he spends most of time in the US.
He is now in the same neighborhood as Chris and Liam Hemsworth, Zac Efron and a few more
Hollywood sensations.
2.WHIP(S) If it's wandering the streets of LA, he prefers
to do it on foot or on his one-wheel board.
If it's going shopping or getting out of town, he likes to do it in his favorite 2020 Range
Rover Vogue TDV6.
The car has a starting price of $90,000.
The luxury SUV boasts of advanced in-car tech, armored glass, which can withstand bullet
fire, a plug-in-hybrid for electric charging and takes just 5.7 seconds to reach 60mph.
What a luxury beast he owns.
1.SPONSORSHIPS/TOTAL NET WORTH Even though he is an Australian, he isn't
in the least scared to get involved in crucial activism.
In March 2018, he took part in the March for our Lives protest and has also shown to support
the Black Lives Matter movement.
Aside from his wokeness, he is an underwear model for Calvin Klien.
He was featured in the Calvin Klein Spring 2021 Campaign alongside stars including Odell
Beckham Jr., Bella Hadid and Naomi Campbell.
Given the success he has gained from his extraordinary acting skill, he surely is on his way to becoming
an A-lister in Hollywood.
