Friday Morning Man: Jacob Elordi!

Greetings from Boston!

Your faithful blogger arrived yesterday and tomorrow morning leaves for seven days in Provincetown.

So, blog posts will be a bit erratic.

Today, I offer you Jacob Elordi as Morning Man.

The 22-year-old Australian actor made a splash playing the role of Noah Flynn in The Kissing Booth and is currently filming its sequel. The film won him a feverish following that’s now swarmed to 5.8 million on Instagram.

He also began playing Nate Jacobs in the HBO television series Euphoria this year.

“I auditioned — this was at a point where the movies that I’d made hadn’t come out,” he tells Wonderland Magazine. “I had no money, I didn’t have anything, I was practically homeless in LA — and I went to the casting and I forgot my lines.” He gave up any hopes of joining the show on the spot, he tells me, but got a callback that same day. “I had no name, I had no backing, you could not find any video of me acting anywhere. I was just a child, and they cast me. I was quite lucky.”
