Actor Jacob Elordi is featured on the cover of Decemberโs Men of The Year issue of GQ.
In the interview, the 26-year-old Aussie actor says that his Kissing Booth films on Netflix were โridiculous moviesโ and made him feel โdead inside.โ
โI didnโt want to make those movies before I made those movies,โ he said of the wildly popular franchise. โThose movies are ridiculous. Theyโre not universal. Theyโre an escape.โ
The actor insists on high stands and is shocked when people bristle at it.
โHow is caring about your output pretentious?โ Elordi asked. โBut not caring, and knowingly feeding people shit, knowing that youโre making money off of peopleโs time, which is literally the most valuable thing that they have. How is that the cool thing?โ

โWell, they asked me to read for Superman,โ Elordi told GQ. โThat was immediately, โNo, thank you.โ Thatโs too much. Thatโs too dark for me.โ
When it comes to roles that Elordi does want to play, fans can look to his unsettling role in Emerald Fennellโs upcoming thriller Saltburn.
Elordi has said that his character Felix Cotton is โin many waysโ even โscarierโ than his infamous portrayal of toxic high school boyfriend Nate Jacobs in HBOโs Euphoria โ and thatโs saying something.
The film, which Emerald Fennell has revealed will be canonically queer, tells the story of Oliver (Barry Keoghan), who is struggling to make friends as a vulnerable new student at Oxford University.

Eventually, Oliver connects with fellow student Felix, the deceptively charming, egotistical son and heir of the aristocratic Catton family and the epitome of the British upper class.
As the pairโs friendship blooms, Oliver grows increasingly attached to Felix and his familyโs high-flying lifestyle. When he joins the Cattons that summer on their sprawling family estate, heโs in for an experience heโll never forget.
