In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Euphoria star Jacob Elordi revealed that he has a famous fan: the one and only Leonardo DiCaprio. This revelation came as a surprise, but Elordi confidently dropped the name, acknowledging that it may seem like a crazy name-drop.
According to Elordi, the Titanic legend approached him in a club when he was much younger. DiCaprio specifically praised the camera work and a shot featuring Elordi in the first season of Euphoria, even amidst the noisy environment. The Australian actor expressed his admiration for DiCaprio, calling him the 'Greatest of All Time' (GOAT) and agreed with Jimmy Fallon's assertion that DiCaprio is one of the greatest actors of all time.
During the interview, Elordi also discussed the filming schedule for the new season of Euphoria. While he admitted to not having specific details, he expressed hope that it would commence soon to avoid any physical toll on his body. Elordi humorously remarked that his character might experience a 'bad back' just walking down the hallway if there's too much delay. When asked if the new season would be set in the future, Elordi playfully responded that he assumes it would have to move forward, otherwise, it might seem like a weird joke.
The interview also touched upon Elordi's role in the critically acclaimed movie Saltburn, where he portrays Felix Catton. Directed by Emerald Fennell, the film has garnered several award nominations, including two BAFTA nods for Elordi himself. Humbled by the recognition, Elordi expressed his disbelief at being listed with actors like Robert De Niro and Paul Mescal, stating his admiration for these accomplished individuals.
Amidst this busy and exciting time in his career, Elordi is poised to make his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live. In a recent promotional video, he humorously faced some challenges on the SNL staircase, struggling to make his way down despite encouragement from cast members. Elordi even took a tumble, leaving him lying on the floor, but playfully claiming that he was okay.
In terms of his personal life, Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade Giannulli are still going strong. Despite rumors of a split in August 2022, the couple reconciled and was seen vacationing together in Italy in June 2023. Recently, they were spotted spending time with Giannulli's parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, on Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho. Sources have confirmed that Giannulli is currently in New York City to support Elordi as he appears on SNL.
With his talent, rising star status, and fans like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jacob Elordi continues to make waves in the entertainment industry. From his impressive performances in Euphoria to his success in Saltburn and his upcoming SNL debut, Elordi proves why he's a name to watch in Hollywood.
