Jacob Elordi has confessed he felt ‘disenfranchised and directionless’ after wrapping up the latest season of Euphoria.
The Australian actor, 27, made the comments during an interview with his Euphoria co-star Eric Dane in Interview Magazine earlier this month.
The two actors were comparing their experiences working in television, when Elordi opened up about the struggles he faces as an actor.
‘Post-Euphoria, I often feel disenfranchised and directionless,’ he said.
‘I find it hard a lot of the time to stay motivated and this idea of “celebrity.” It makes it hard to keep finding interest and truth in the work,’ the young heartthrob added.
Jacob also asked Dane, 51, who plays his on-screen father, how he maintains a passion for the project.
Dane, who has also starred on hit show Grey’s Anatomy, responded: ‘I try to remain as teachable as I can.’
‘I think the moment I stop rediscovering the craft, I’m more or less dead. It’s not a craft that can be mastered, in my opinion.’

Euphoria was released in 2019, with season two of the controversial teen drama airing in 2022.
But the third season of the hit HBO show has encountered significant setbacks, with reports that there is dramatic behind-the-scenes conflict.
Elordi began his career in 2018 by appearing in the Aussie movies Swinging Safari and The Very Excellent Mr Dundee.
He relocated to Los Angeles several years later after being cast in the popular US teen drama Euphoria.
