Jacob Elordi is becoming one of his up-and-coming generation’s more established voices in acting. His recent turn as Frankenstein’s monster in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein speaks volumes about his range and is a testament to his growing skill set.

In the most recent news about the Euphoria star, Jacob Elordi was recently interviewed by Vanity Fair, where he shared his views on several topics. Interestingly, he did not hold back when asked about AI and its evolving role in life and multimedia.

“As a human being, I have no tolerance for it- nor the ever encroaching, constant conversation that we keep having about it. Even being asked about it. I just have no interest in it at all, because it’s so f*cking boring. That’s ones and zeros. That’s numbers. It’s digital. I can’t focus on it. It bores me, personally.”

He added,

“If it’s your interest, go nuts in your garage; play around, build a robot. But as far as I’m concerned, I would much rather kiss on the beach, and read a novel, and be sunburnt.”

It’s clear that Jacob Elordi is uninterested in the topic entirely and would prefer to approach his life from a more grounded perspective.

During his Vanity Fair interview, Jacob Elordi gave a fair amount of insight into his journey alongside Guillermo del Toro during the making of Frankenstein. He also opened up on his experience reprising his role on HBO’s Euphoria for a 3rd season after an extended hiatus.

“I had so much fun shooting the show. It felt like I was playing a completely different character, because so much time has passed. It was also exciting to come back because on the first season of that show, I would bug [series creator] Sam Levinson about how badly I wanted to make movies and how much I love movies."

Elordi then added,

"I felt like the prodigal son returning with my bags full of stories of the movies I’d made. I was like, “Father, look what I have gathered!”

He also attempted to draw a through line between the monster he portrayed in the film and Nate, his character from the show. He answered as follows when asked if his Euphoria character was ultimately redeemable.

“Yes. It’s possible for everybody to have redemption. Guillermo said something great: He’s like, “The biggest and the hardest step is the conversation. The conversation doesn’t need to yield a result, but you have to have the conversation.” It’s the only way you can move toward redemption. I would like to believe that there’s redemption for everybody, and if not redemption, possible understanding.”

Jacob Elordi's Vanity Fair interview is a revealing portrait of an actor who appears to be growing and learning with each role. He is certainly positioned for success, with the best clearly yet to come.
