‘Kissing Booth’ Star Jacob Elordi: Where You’ll See The Aussie Hottie Next

The Kissing Booth is one of Netflix’s biggest surprise hits — so much so that Netflix chief Ted Sarandos told New York Magazine that it was “one of the most-watched movies in the country, and maybe in the world” — and it’s made Aussie heartthrob Jacob Elordi an overnight star. The hitherto unknown actor is now one of the most searched actors in the world. (Recently, he was #1 on the IMDB Starmeter, though he’s since dropped to #8, and the movie in general enjoyed a brief stint at the top of Tumblr’s Fandometrics in May.)

But where did Jacob Elordi come from? And where can you see him next? Is he still hot and heavy IRL with co-star Joey King? And will there be a Kissing Booth sequel on Netflix? Here’s everything you need to know about the big breakout of The Kissing Booth cast: Jacob Elordi.

Who Is Jacob Elordi?

Jacob Elordi was born on June 26, 1997 in Brisbane, Australia — so his star sign is Cancer, astrology nerds. The 6’4″ actor hadn’t done all that much before playing Noah Flynn in The Kissing Booth. He had an uncredited extra part on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and a small supporting role in Swinging Safari. 

Where Can I See Jacob Elordi Next?

Elordi has already lined up his next two projects. One is a crowdfunded film called The Mortuary Collection and the other is a plum role in a HBO pilot called Euphoria. Euphoria is based on an Israeli series of the same name and will follow a group of troubled teens dealing with “drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship.” Zendaya is set to star as the show’s unreliable narrator, while Maude Apatow and A Wrinkle in Time‘s Storm Reid will co-star.

Is Jacob Elordi Still Dating Joey King?

Fear not! The actors playing Noah Flynn and Elle Evans are still together IRL! Just two days ago, King posted photos of the two of them at a concert on Instagram.

Will Netflix Make A Kissing Booth Sequel?

That’s the burning question, isn’t it? Since word broke that The Kissing Booth was a BIG hit for Netflix, it seems all the more likely that we’ll see more of Elle Evans and Noah Flynn in the future. Adding to the buzz? Author Beth Reekles has been cheekily suggesting that she’d be more than willing to bring fans more Elle, Noah, and Lee.

Time will tell if Netflix will order a sequel, but if they’re making a follow up to The Christmas Prince, we’ll remain optimistic…
