It says here on page four - look! I imagine people were just like, Jesus fucking Christ. I was like, are we lying to the fucking millions of 14-year-olds out there? This guy smokes nicotine. “I was like, ‘This is bullshit.’ I remember going to war for it. If there was one part of the Euphoria season 2 premiere that felt like a long time coming, it was seeing someone finally get some revenge on Nate Jacobs, the football star whos found a way to terrorize just about every beloved character in the cast. However, the powers-that-be declined Elordi’s request. He’s a bad boy,’” Elordi says in the profile, referencing the novel penned by Beth Reekles. “I remember saying, ‘He smokes in the book. Euphoria, written by Sam Levinson, has been criticized on social media for putting its cast through long work days and featuring graphic scenes. It’s Montgomery Clift and Marlon Brando.”Įlordi also recounted how his breakout role in the Netflix franchise The Kissing Booth delivered overnight fame (he went to bed the night the first YA film debuted on the streamer and woke up to four million new Instagram followers) and shared how he went to “war” over his character’s smoking. Jacob Elordi isn't against burning the midnight oil. Fez is the beloved drug-dealing friend of. The reason Fez decided to beat up Nate may have had something to do with Nates behavior in Season 1 of Euphoria. The high school bully frightens with both his eerily cool demeanor and then bouts of violent. I could never understand - how could you label anything, ever? How could you label sport as masculine? How does your sexuality inform your prowess as an athlete, or your prowess as a performer?”įinding that balance of part-jock and part-thespian is what he carries with him to play Nate, says Elordi: “I hope that’s what the performance is in Euphoria. It’s muscle and heart. One of 2019s most terrifying villains is undoubtedly Euphoria s Nate Jacobs ( Jacob Elordi ). I’m going to do it, and I’m going to show you that’s bullshit. “I was like, if I’m going to be the King of the Fairies, I’m going to be the fucking hottest King of the Fairies you’ve ever seen.”Ĭontinuing, “I stepped away from beer culture and from sport culture, and I was like, well, if you think this is gay, I’m going to be who I am when I was your friend, which is this hetero guy, but I’m going to play the arts. Jacob Elordi shared how the long days filming Euphoria contributes to the HBO shows success after fans criticized writer Sam Levinson during season two. In 2018, just one year before taking on the role of Nate on Euphoria, Jacob Elordi was in Swinging Safari, a comedy-drama starring names like Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce. “When they said I was gay, I remember leaning into the makeup,” he recalls of his peers’ response. While straddling both the worlds of sports and theater in high school, he credited an early role as Oberon, the King of the Fairies, for Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream as being transformative to subverting expectations around gender lines, and ultimately helping to inform how he plays Nate. I enjoy it.”Įlordi, who says he honed his acting craft by reading biographies and profiles, watching films and emulating the classic Hollywood looks of Daniel Day-Lewis and Steve McQueen, also shared insight into how he approaches playing the role of Nate, who is aptly described as a “predatory maniac” in the profile, given his history with the female characters on the high-octane teen drama. “I think I’ve read people saying, ‘Look, that’s a bad image to set, you shouldn’t have to work yourself to the bone for art.’ Fuck that. “When I’m working with Sam, I’m in the trenches with him, and I trust him, and I work myself to the bone for him,” Elordi told GQ staff writer Clay Skipper at Twentynine Palms, where the actor is on a respite while preparing to star in Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn. The 25-year-old Australian described working on the set of Euphoria as “an absolute treat,” and praised writer-creator-director Levinson’s approach.
