He’s the former Brisbane private schoolboy at the centre of a gossip storm after being snapped holding hands with one of the world’s biggest supermodels.
But not long ago Jacob Elordi, who grew up at Wavell Heights in Brisbane before alighting to Hollywood, was just a dude with a mullet buying Cruisers.
The 23-year-old actor, who seems to have stoked something of a scandal after going public with Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber this week, was spied in his hometown as recently as last month, where fans took to social media to document his visit to a Brisbane bottle shop.
Brandishing a seedy moustache and rocking a mullet hairstyle, Elordi, who got his big break in the US with the Netflix rom-com The Kissing Booth back in 2018, was seen purchasing two six packs of guava Vodka Cruisers.
“This man could not look more Australian if he tried,” noted one fan on Twitter.
Skip ahead a month and Elordi has gone from bottle shop bogan to the man in the centre of an A-list Hollywood love triangle.
Until recently, Elordi was in a very public relationship with his Euphoria co-star Zendaya — the pair even visited Australia together last November when they were presented with respective GQ Woman and Man of the Year awards.
The pair were still linked as recently as last week, but his New York outings with Gerber — an in-demand model in her own right — this week confirm rumours the towering Aussie hunk has moved on.
There has been no official confirmation from either of the genetically-blessed pair on their relationship. But Elordi did post a cryptic note on Twitter soon after images of he and Gerber surfaced, asking for “kindness” from his fans.
