Early Life and Family
Elordi was born and raised in Brisbane, the son of John and Melissa Elordi, with Basque heritage on his father’s side and two sisters. He attended St Kevin’s College in Melbourne and Nudgee College in Brisbane, where rugby and school theatre competed for his attention — a serious sporting injury helped push him towards acting. He idolised Heath Ledger and practised accents in front of the mirror before moving to Los Angeles at 17.
Breakthrough: The Kissing Booth and Euphoria
After uncredited extra work on a Pirates of the Caribbean film shot in Australia, Elordi’s first leading role made him globally famous almost overnight: Noah Flynn in Netflix’s The Kissing Booth (2018) and its two sequels. He then deliberately pivoted, winning the role of the volatile Nate Jacobs in HBO’s Euphoria (2019–), which recast him as a serious actor and made him one of the defining faces of the series.
Priscilla, Saltburn and Frankenstein
Elordi’s critical ascent came in 2023: Sofia Coppola cast him as Elvis Presley in Priscilla, and Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn made his Felix Catton a cultural talking point, earning him a BAFTA nomination. He followed with the war epic The Narrow Road to the Deep North and the role of the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (2025), opposite Oscar Isaac — the kind of transformation that confirms a long-term leading career.
