Jacob Elordi opens up about his recent projects

The star, while featuring on The Hollywood Reporter’s podcast ‘Awards Chatter’, delved deep into some of his latest projects. He shared that ‘Frankenstein’ was a film that he felt “free” while working on. He also addressed the standing ovation that his film received at its first premiere at the Venice International Film Festival.




The star revealed, “Something happened when I was in Venice. I was there with my sister and my mom and my dad, and during that ovation, I saw them standing behind me, and I saw my agent, whom I’ve known for 10 years now, and I kind of looked around, and I realized I was exactly where I was supposed to be my whole life.”

He further shared that as of right now, he believes that he is at the right point in his life and career. “I’ve felt a kind of great calm that I’m in the right place, I’m meant to be here. And that’s been a really sort of profound feeling and a great comfort in an industry where you usually feel quite alien.”
