Jacob Elordi Once Revealed He Had a Crush on Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom

Jacob Elordi, the talented actor who gained fame from ‘The Kissing Booth’ film series alongside Joey King, has rapidly risen to Hollywood stardom. His career took a darker turn when he portrayed a complex character in HBO’s ‘Euphoria’ alongside Zendaya, a role that catapulted him to new heights. With his recent releases, including playing Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’s ‘Priscilla’ and starring in ‘Saltburn’ directed by Emerald Fennell, Jacob has garnered much appreciation.

Last year, during an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ Jacob participated in a segment called ‘Tonight Show Firsts.’ When asked about his first celebrity crush, Jacob didn’t hesitate to name Brad Pitt, specifically for his role in ‘Troy.’ “That’s a beautiful man. There’s no denying it,” Jacob said, with an honesty we can all relate to.

In the same segment, Jacob revealed other personal firsts, like attending his first concert (Eminem’s), his morning routine of making coffee, and his childhood dream of becoming a skateboarder like Tony Hawk. He also shared that the first Elvis Presley song he heard was ‘Stuck On You’ from ‘Lilo & Stitch.’

Interestingly, Jacob had previously shared with W Magazine that he also had a crush on Orlando Bloom after seeing him in ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ It’s worth noting that both ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Troy’ were released within a few years of each other, during the early 2000s. This timing suggests that young Jacob was captivated by both Bloom and Pitt, a sentiment many of us can understand.

Orlando Bloom, who also starred alongside Pitt in ‘Troy,’ was a particular joy for Jacob to watch, seeing his two crushes in the same film. Bloom is now happily partnered with Katy Perry, while Pitt, after his split from Angelina Jolie, has been linked with various women over the years. Both actors have maintained their status as Hollywood heartthrobs, and it’s easy to see why they left such an impression on a young Jacob.
