5 reasons Jacob Elordi is nothing like his Euphoria character, Nate Jacobs: he dons gender-bending fashion looks like Harry Styles and respects his ex, Kaia Gerber
- As HBO’s Euphoria returns for season 2, so does Nate Jacobs, the show’s hateful main character – but Jacob Elordi, the Australian actor who plays him, couldn’t be more different
- He had a happy childhood that he reminisced about on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, and has posted Instagram videos of himself calling his parents
We all know it’s all too easy to hate Euphoria’s leading misogynist, Nate Jacobs. So we’re understandably confused whenever we reminded just how nice Jacob Elordi, the heartthrob playing him, is in real life. With his consistently grounded and philosophical outlook on life, this rising star seems like a much-needed breath of fresh air in Hollywood.
Here are five no-nonsense ways Elordi proves that an actor is not his character.
1. He’s not trying to be hyper masculine
Check out this recent gender-fluid appearance in Man About Town magazine. We’re loving the hair flick, too.
2. He respects women
Unlike his infamous Euphoria alter ego, Elordi considers women his equals.
Despite going to an all-boys school in Melbourne, the actor recently told Men’s Health that he could never quite understand the way his classmates would talk about women.
“I have a brother and a dad as well, but I grew up in a house of women, you know?” he says, referring to his mother and three sisters. “Seeing the way they spoke about things at the school, I was like, this doesn’t make any sense. How could you speak like that?”
