* FakeAmerican: In most of his roles, he plays Americans rather than Australians, including playing Elvis, one of the famous American musicians of all time.

Jacob Elordi (born 26th June, 1997, in Brisbane, Queensland) is an Australian actor. He's best known for his roles as Noah Flynn in ''The Kissing Booth'' trilogy, Nate Jacobs in drama series ''Series/{{Euphoria}}'' and Elvis Presley in biopic ''Film/{{Priscilla}}''. His first Hollywood acting role was an extra in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales'', a year before his first major film roles in 2018's ''Swinging Safari'' and ''The Kissing Booth''.

* CreatorBacklash: While acknowledging that ''The Kissing Booth'' films helped his career, Elordi [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/jacob-elordi-his-euphoria-breakout-moving-kissing-booth-1220320/ hinted]] in a 2019 interview with The Hollywood Reporter and more [[https://www.gq.com/story/jacob-elordi-men-of-the-year-cover-2023 clearly stated]] in a 2023 interview with GQ that he didn't think much of them overall, referring to them as "ridiculous" and opining that Noah was underwritten in the first movie (to the point he felt that playing Nate in ''Euphoria'' was "almost like righting my wrongs a little bit" as it deconstructed many of Noah's less savoury traits); he also expressed concern over being typecast as a teen heartthrob because of the role, as it wasn't one he was interested in playing again. He did express gratitude that the series' popularity at least allowed him the opportunity to pursue other roles he was genuinely passionate about.

-->"The trick is they just always cast me with girls who are five-foot-two. Everyone’s like, 'You’re so big!' Yeah, but they’re also ''not'' big, not even average-sized women. They’re quite small."

* {{Typecasting}}: He has a tendency to be cast as [[{{Jerkass}} jerks]] of varying degrees, in particular {{Jerk Jock}}s and {{Frat Bro}}s: Noah from ''The Kissing Booth'' evolves into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold (and [[TookALevelInKindness barely has any jerk traits left]] by the final movie), Jake from ''The Mortuary Collection'' is a sleazy womaniser who engages in ContraceptionDeception, while Nate from ''Euphoria'' is straight-up sociopathic (with Elordi saying of Nate "He's an emotional terrorist, a narcissist, a sociopath, a freak. All those things."). His version of Elvis in ''Priscilla'' isn't completely devoid of sympathetic traits, but it definitely highlights the man's flaws and especially his poor treatment of his wife.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Due to Elordi being over six feet tall, he tends to tower over most of his fellow cast members, though this trope applies to ''The Kissing Booth'', ''Euphoria'' and ''Priscilla'', where the actresses playing his love interests - Creator/JoeyKing, Creator/SydneySweeney and Creator/CaileeSpaeny, respectively - look tiny next to him as they're over a foot shorter (King is 5'4, Sweeney is 5'3 and Spaeny is 5'1). Elordi has joked about perfecting the ability to lean while acting next to his co-stars and the tendency for him to be paired with short actresses:
