Jacob Elordi, the Hollywood actor who became widely known for his role in The Kissing Booth film series with Joey King, later gained major acclaim for his performance in HBO’s Euphoria, where he starred alongside Zendaya. His career took off from there, and his recent projects have continued to impress audiences.
Last year, Elordi took on the role of Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’s film Priscilla and played the lead in Saltburn, directed by Emerald Fennell. Recently, he opened up about his early celebrity crushes during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
In a fun segment called “Tonight Show Firsts,” Elordi revealed that his very first celebrity crush was Brad Pitt, specifically from his role in Troy. Elordi commented, “It was in Troy. That’s a beautiful man. There’s no denying it.”
He also shared other personal firsts: his first concert was Eminem, the first thing he does in the morning is make coffee, and as a kid, he wanted to be a skateboarder like Tony Hawk. He mentioned that his first Elvis Presley song was “Stuck On You” from Lilo & Stitch.
In a past interview with W Magazine, Elordi admitted he also had a crush on Orlando Bloom after seeing him in The Lord of the Rings. Considering Bloom and Pitt were popular during Elordi’s pre-teen years, it makes sense he would admire both actors. Bloom and Pitt, both known for their good looks and talent, were definitely worth a crush or two.
Orlando Bloom is now in a relationship with Katy Perry, while Brad Pitt has had a high-profile love life after his split from Angelina Jolie. It’s clear that both actors continue to be heartthrobs in Hollywood.
Now that Elordi is a star himself, he’s likely become someone else’s crush. (Mine too!)
