From Just Jared Junior: Jacob Elordi Wasn't Prepared For The 'Pandemonium' of 'The Kissing Booth'

Jacob Elordi keeps it cool as he takes over the new cover of Wonderland magazine.

The 21-year-old actor shared with the glossy that he wasn’t exactly prepared for all the reactions he got when The Kissing Booth came out.

“I’m very grateful that people can find joy in it… but I definitely wasn’t ready for the pandemonium that was the film when it came out,” Jacob confessed.

He is looking forward to having his fans see him in something new – HBO’s Euphoria, which premieres on Sunday, June 16th.

“I had no money, I didn’t have anything, I was practically homeless in LA — and I went to the casting and I forgot my lines,” he recalls. “I had no name, I had no backing, you could not find any video of me acting anywhere. I was just a child, and they cast me. I was quite lucky.”

Jacob added about his character, “What I thought he was when I auditioned, to what we finished with character-wise, I never could have hoped or dreamed for anything as brilliant or as engaging.”
