I'm tired of these people.
Especially of Jacob who hasn't shown any impressive acting skills or leading actor quality yet to be shoved down our throats. The man is just "Tall guy who isn't a Skarsgård brother".

[squirrels_oh_no]

Because tall.

[iamkenough]

I thought he was great in Euphoria oop he played a psycho really well…💀

[spiral_mystik]

He played his character from The Kissing Booth except with more ass.

[iamkenough]

Hahaha I didn’t watch that 🥲

[glitterslugs]

yeah i thought that scene where he's having a breakdown and slamming his head on the floor was rly good lol

[queenursula]

I haven't seen any of his other work but he's good in Euphoria. Saying "he hasn't shown any impressive acting skills" is kind of silly.

[jojito]

Agreed.
I've only seen him in Saltburn. Can't say I'm impressed.

[tippythepoodle]

He was the weakest link in that film, too!
The bath water had more charisma!

He hasn’t even been in a ton of things, and hasn’t been bad in any of them…so? Heh.

[spiral_mystik]

Starting with The Kissing Booth, he's been in over 10 projects these past 5 years. How is that not tons of things?
And he's just that: "not bad". Nothing impressive.

Actresses with twice the talent and half the filmography get called overexposed all the time.

[_kleptomane]

I think there's a difference between steady work and somebody being shoved down our throats or being overexposed. In my opinion, the space between releases for him seems normal.

[spiral_mystik]

He is both. We have articles (paid by his team) calling him an A-lister. That's being shoved down our throats especially when he's still serviceable at best and never even led a project.

[lone_concertina]

That's funny because a Skarsgard brother would be such a better Heathcliff.

For real
