Jacob Elordi slams ‘Kissing Booth’ franchise as ‘ridiculous’: You’re ‘dead inside’
Jacob graces the December’s Men of The Year issue of GQ
In the interview, 26-year-old Aussie actor says that his “Kissing Booth” films on Netflix were “ridiculous movies” and made him feel “dead inside.”
“I didn’t want to make those movies before I made those movies,” he said of the wildly popular franchise. “Those movies are ridiculous. They’re not universal. They’re an escape.”
The actor stands by his insistence on high stands, and is shocked when people bristle at it.
“How is caring about your output pretentious?” Elordi asked. “But not caring, and knowingly feeding people s - - t, knowing that you’re making money off of people’s time, which is literally the most valuable thing that they have. How is that the cool thing?”
He also Reveals He Turned Down Reading for Superman Role
“Well, they asked me to read for Superman,” Elordi told GQ. “That was immediately, ‘No, thank you.’ That’s too much. That’s too dark for me.”
