Throwback photos of Hollywood heartthrob Jacob Elordi in his high school prefect uniform have gone viral on TikTok.
In the pictures, Jacob can be seen striking a series of hilarious poses alongside his pals, also dressed in the striking blue and white blazers of their private Brisbane college.
The share has prompted a female user to post a photo of the now-28-year-old’s school formal.
The snap features Jacob in a black tuxedo, posing alongside a petite blonde female teenager wearing a white gown.
Another teenager, dressed identically to Jacob, is also seen in the picture alongside his date.
Jordan Gamblin, who posted the snap, did not confirm in the comments whether it is she who is the blonde woman seen with Jacob in the formal picture.

Meanwhile, Jacob’s parents, Mellissa and John Elordi, are also featured prominently in his high school photos.
They can be seen proudly posing beside their boy in his St Joseph’s Nudgee College school colours.
The viral TikTok post has attracted over 800 comments, with many users sharing their thoughts on Jacob’s Brisbane roots.
‘He’s so Australian, popular boy,’ one remarked, while another added: ‘He went to my cousin’s school.’
However, some comments weren’t appreciative of Jacob’s clean-cut and conservative look, with one complaining: ‘God, he’s such a frat boy.’
Another user posted: ‘He looks so American.’
It was while Jacob was in high school that he discovered his love of acting.
His rise to stardom came after a brief appearance in the 2017 Aussie comedy Swingin’ Safari, which hit screens less than two years after Jacob left school.

Strikingly handsome and symmetrical in a way that echoed old-world stars like Cary Grant and Errol Flynn, the-then 19-year-old also had an enviable physique honed from years of state-level basketball and rugby union.
Most aspiring actors spend months, sometimes years, on an audition roundabout. Jacob, however, landed a major gig almost immediately as one of three romantic leads in the 2018 Netflix smash rom-com The Kissing Booth.
The next would coincide with what was undoubtedly Jacob’s biggest role to date – that of the toxic and violent sociopath Nate Jacobs in HBO’s Euphoria.
He later won acclaim for his role in the controversial 2023 feature film Saltburn.
It comes after Jacob and ex Olivia Jade Giannulli sparked reunion rumours, as she was seen supporting him at his Frankenstein premiere earlier this month.
The Wuthering Heights star and the influencer, 25, were spotted together at the Toronto International Film Festival, a month after their breakup.
Jacob’s new film, Frankenstein, arrives on Netflix November 7.
The actor and Olivia called it quits in August, after four years together.
The YouTuber is the first person the actor started dating after he broke things off with Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber in 2021.
Jacob and Olivia never went red carpet official and did not talk about their relationship publicly as they preferred privacy.
They also never formally confirmed their relationship on social media but they were seen together several times on vacation in Italy in 2023 and 2024.
