A recent social media post by user @samsamchills, garnering 91 likes, has sparked discussion regarding the public perception of Australian actor Jacob Elordi. The post, written in Korean, expresses surprise at the positive attention Elordi receives despite having a filmography that includes roles portraying pregnancy.
Elordi, born June 26, 1997, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, first gained recognition for his role as Noah Flynn in Netflix’s The Kissing Booth franchise (2018-2021). He subsequently achieved critical acclaim for his portrayal of Nate Jacobs in the HBO drama series Euphoria (2019-present). His recent performances in Priscilla (2023) and Saltburn have further elevated his profile, with his function in Saltburn earning him a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
In 2025, Elordi appeared in both the war drama miniseries The Narrow Road to the Deep North and as the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. His performance in Frankenstein garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor and an AACTA Award. The reference to an “impregnation filmography” in the original social media post remains unclear without further context, but it appears to be a point of discussion among some online observers of his work.
Elordi’s father, John Elordi, immigrated to Australia from Bilbao, Spain, at the age of eight to escape the Francoist dictatorship, originating from the Basque Country. This familial connection to the Basque region has been noted in online discussions about the actor.
As of February 16, 2026, according to Britannica, Jacob Elordi is establishing himself as a serious actor, moving beyond his initial roles that established him as a teen heartthrob.
