Jacob Elordi’s Shirtless Gym Session Has The Internet Distracted
In the snaps, Elordi is seen focused on his workout, powering through cable exercises and strength training with ease.

In another, he drops to one knee, continuing his set with controlled form, all while showing off his athletic build.

Elordi Reveals Surprising Inspiration Behind ‘Frankenstein’ Transformation
Jacob Elordi is pulling back the curtain on one of his most intense roles yet, and the inspiration might surprise fans. While preparing to play the Creature in “Frankenstein,” Elordi revealed that director Guillermo del Toro pointed him toward an unexpected reference: Iggy Pop.
“The first reference that Guillermo del Toro sent me was a picture of Iggy Pop,” he told W Magazine, noting the iconic image captured a raw, almost worn-down energy that helped shape the character.
Interestingly, Elordi said the physical transformation came more naturally than expected after a previous role. Having just portrayed a prisoner of war in “The Narrow Road to the Deep North,” he admitted, “I, luckily, in the mirror, looked similar to Iggy Pop.”
Jacob Elordi’s Role Required Total Isolation
Filming the project was no easy task. Elordi described the shoot as long and deeply immersive, revealing he lived in a gothic-style house in Toronto during production, a setting that mirrored the dark tone of the film. “I was living in a three-story gothic house… I would curl up in the window seats and watch people walk by,” he said.
But the emotional demands of the role meant keeping his distance from the outside world. “It’s not the kind of role where you can have lunch with your friends,” he explained, adding that even brief interactions felt overwhelming while in character.
In fact, he compared the experience to something straight out of The Wizard of Oz. “If I saw people… I think they would’ve spoken, and I would’ve melted in front of them,” he joked, likening himself to the Wicked Witch.

He specifically called out Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen in “New York Minute,” joking that it was “both of them collectively.”
But that wasn’t all.
