Jacob Elordi is one of Australia’s hardest working actors and is set to star in three upcoming productions which have a surprising thematic connection.
The Euphoria star, 26, will appear in two upcoming movies and a miniseries, all of which centre on different real-life wars and how people coped during them.
In the movie Oh, Canada – set for release in May – Elordi will co-star with Richard Gere in a complex drama which explores the life of a Vietnam War draft dodger.
Elordi will also be appearing in the film On Swift Horses, alongside British actress Daisy Edgar-Jones, which looks at people trying to rebuild their lives after the Korean War.
He will also act in the Australian miniseries The Narrow Road to the Deep North, which focuses on a doctor’s love affair during World War II.

These three challenging roles are sure to bring more acclaim to Elordi, who recently won over critics with his performance in the psychological drama Saltburn.

‘I listened to a lot of Eminem, like a terrible amount. I love that man so much,’ he began.
Clarkson then asked him if constantly listening to the rapper had seen him develop a ‘tough American’ way of speaking.
‘It was like Detroit. I have to thank him so much for helping me get rid of the Australian accent,’ he said.
The Australian born actor 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.
He will also act in the Australian miniseries The Narrow Road to the Deep North, which focuses on a doctor’s love affair during World War II. (Pictured in the film with co-star Odessa Young)
