Jacob Elordi Shares His Journey from ‘Frankenstein’ to ‘Wuthering Heights’ and Back to ‘Euphoria’

Jacob Elordi is experiencing a significant year marked by both personal and professional transformation. He is garnering acclaim for his commanding performance as the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of Frankenstein, which has earned him nominations for Best Supporting Actor from the Golden Globe Awards and the Critics Choice Awards.

Following this, Elordi will reteam with his Saltburn director, Emerald Fennell, in a fresh adaptation of Wuthering Heights, co-starring alongside Margot Robbie. This cinematic release is scheduled for Valentine’s Day, fittingly aligning with its romantic themes. Additionally, Elordi has resumed filming for the much-anticipated third season of Euphoria.

Reflecting on his role as the Creature, Elordi spoke about the intense 10-hour makeup sessions required to transform into one of the most recognized monsters in literature. He praised del Toro’s direction and emphasized the unique take on the character in contrast to Oscar Isaac’s Victor Frankenstein. Looking ahead, he expressed excitement about portraying Heathcliff, a character famously brought to life by Laurence Olivier in the classic 1939 film. With great enthusiasm, he described the new take as uniquely interpreted through Fennell’s vision, humorously referring to it as a "kissy" movie, which offers insight into its Valentine’s Day release date.

Furthermore, Elordi provided a glimpse into Euphoria’s upcoming season, a topic that has piqued the interest of fans eagerly awaiting the narrative’s continuation.
