Jacob Elordi is an Australian actor of striking good looks—one of contemporary cinema’s examples of “tall, dark and handsome”—while challenging himself in a wide range of increasingly challenging roles. Elordi began in the movies as an extra in such productions as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017), landing his first supporting role in Australian director/writer Stephen Elliott’s comedy-drama, Swinging Safari (2018), starring Guy Pearce, Kylie Minogue, Radha Mitchell and Jack Thompson, followed by Elordi’s breakthrough co-starring role with co-star Joey King in Netflix’s popular streamed teen romcoms directed and written by Vince Marcello, The Kissing Booth (2018), The Kissing Booth 2 (2020) and The Kissing Booth 3 (2021).
Elordi starred in director/producer Lance Hool’s romantic drama, 2 Hearts (2020), with Adan Canto, Tiera Skovbye and Radha Mitchell, and which was released by Freestyle Releasing, and then Elordi’s next theatrical feature was the little-seen crime drama, He Went That Away (2023), with Zachary Quinto, directed by Jeffrey Darling and premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival before a Vertical Entertainment release. Elordi was cast by director/writer/producer Sofia Coppola as Elvis Presley in the biopic, Priscilla (2023), based on Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir, Elvis and Me, starring Cailee Spaeny in the title role, Ari Cohen, and Dagmara Dominczyk, and which grossed over $33 million for A24.
Elordi played the major supporting role opposite Barry Keoghan in director/writer/producer Emerald Fennell’s black comedy (with fellow producers Margot Robbie and Josey McNamara), Saltburn (2023), with the ensemble of Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe and Carey Mulligan, premiering at the Telluride Film Festival and released by Amazon MGM Studios (U.S.)/Warner Bros. Pictures (U.K) for a $21 million gross. Elordi was cast in a supporting role in director/cinematographer Sean Price Williams’s and screenwriter Nick Pinkerton’s fascinating American road movie, The Sweet East (2023), co-starring Talia Ryder, Earl Cave, Simon Rex, Ayo Edebiri, Jeremy O. Harris and Rish Shah, launching at Directors Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival and released in a limited pattern by Utopia.

Elordi joined the ensemble of On Swift Horses (2024), on which he was also an executive producer, with Daisy Edgar-Jones, Will Poulter, Diego Calv, and Sasha Calle under Daniel Minahan’s direction, premiering at the Toronto Film Festival and grossing $1.2 million for distributor Sony Pictures Classics.
Elordi earned a Best Supporting Oscar nomination for his striking performance as The Creature in director/writer/producer Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (2025), based on Mary Shelley’s 1818 classic Gothic novel, starring Oscar Isaac in the title role, with Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, David Bradley and Charles Dance, premiering at the Venice Film Festival and released in limited theatrical pattern by Netflix (before streaming), and receiving nine Oscar nominations including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Elordi tackled a very different literary character, portraying Heathcliff in director/writer/producer Emerald Fennell’s version of Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel, Wuthering Heights (2026), with Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunnes, produced by MRC/Lie Still/LuckyChap Entertainment and releaswidelyide by Warner Bros.
