Jacob Elordi virtually lost out on his huge “Euphoria” breakout duty.
The “Priscilla” and “Saltburn” celebrity disclosed throughout Range’s Stars on Stars collection along with “Euphoria” co-star and “Rustin” lead star Colman Domingo that he “completely blew” his audition for the viral Sam Levinson-helmed HBO collection.
“I was living in my car […] for about a week or so” before the “Euphoria” audition, Elordi stated. “That was my last one before I was going home to kind of take a debrief.”
Elordi proceeded, “I went in and I fudged my lines. I was like, ‘Does anybody know Jules, know who she is? Does anyone know Jules?’ Completely blew it. And then Sam asked me back and then I read with him two or three times.”
Domingo asked Elordi just how he really felt upon landing the duty, to which Elordi merely responded, “euphoric.”
Elordi formerly confessed that he virtually stopped acting after covering manufacturing on Netflix movie “The Kissing Booth” in 2017. The movie later on came to be a trilogy franchise business.
“I wasn’t booking jobs,” Elordi informed GQ UK in August 2023. “I think I had – I don’t know, $400 or $800 left in my bank account – and ‘Euphoria’ was my last audition before I went home for a little while to make some money and recuperate.”
Elordi remembered of his “Kissing Booth” popularity, “It felt like, all of a sudden, I was a poster. Like I was a billboard. It felt like it was for sale. Then my brain went through the fucking wringer. Like, I wasn’t sure if I was genuine. It really skews your view. It creates a very paranoid way of living.”
The star in addition kept in mind that he refused auditioning for Superman in a GQ cover tale. “That was immediately, ‘No, thank you.’ That’s too much. That’s too dark for me,” Elordi stated.
He included of the “one for them, one for me” method to stabilizing indie movies with massive franchise business, “That one’s a trap as well, because it can become 15 for them, none for you. You have no original ideas and you’re dead inside. So it’s a fine dance. My ‘one for them,’ I’ve done it.”
