Jacob Elordi Spills a Euphoria Season 3 Secret, Reveals His 11-Hour Makeup Routine for Frankenstein

Jacob, welcome back. It's always great to see you. But before we talk about Frankenstein, which, by the way, I can't even, I cannot wait to rave about how great you are in this movie. Oh my gosh, you crush me. But let's talk Euphoria, if you don't mind. Yeah. We know you from that as well. It's been a few years since the last season, and but a new season is coming, though, right? They say, yeah. Yeah, that's what we keep hoping. That's what they told me. Yeah, it's getting, is it closer, or is it done, or are you? I don't know if it's, I mean, I think it's still going. I think it's, it's something that will always be happening. Yeah. It'll never end. Are you shrouded in secrecy? Can you give me a line or something that describes this season? From my part, because I only know my part in the season, because the whole thing is like the JFK files. It's like, it's all redacted. Like, what really happened is in. No, you can't see, you can't read the real script. No, so you only see your part. For mine, I think a good, a good phrase, I guess, for my season is white fertility. Do with that what you will. White fertility. Get your tongue around it. Yeah, thank you. Well, white fertility? White fertility. OK, yeah, I have no idea what that means. Me neither. OK, good, but I will, but I will know what that means. I hope so. I really hope so. All right, good. Thanks for always throwing a little thing for the internet to figure out. Great. I want to talk about Frankenstein. It's in select theaters now, but it's on Netflix November 7th. You played the creature. This is this is what you look like, if you can see, if you zoom in there. Can you see? It's you, man. Your body is made up of parts of different humans, and you think that it would be a lot of it would be done with CGI, but it wasn't, it was all practical. Yeah, it's practical effects. I mean, so much of the movie, the sets, the costumes, are all handmade by artisans, by these great artists, which is a rare thing in movies now. But how long did it take you to get into makeup? Because it's your whole body. Well, when I look like this, it was like six hours. And that's just because it's just your head and your hands? Yeah, and then when he's sort of first born from head to toe, it was like 11 hours. Wow. What do you do? I mean, 11 hours in makeup. That's before you work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you do for 11 hours? Well, it's kind of it was actually like the perfect amount of time. You don't get that much time when you're filming to be able to to get into something. Yeah. So it was like it was like the perfect amount of time to be able to to sort of leave all of this stuff behind and sort of become something else, I guess. Hopefully you were phenomenal in the movie. In fact, I'm looking at your eyes right now because you just your eyes. It's just so much acting with just your eyes and you look so sad. I mean, the movie's scary. The movie is scary. It's terrifying. It's trippy. It is. It's beautifully shot. But man, you're acting is through the roof in this. And I go and a lot of it is for the first half is nonverbal. Yeah, yeah. It's physically. And it's just phenomenal. And you transform even the way you walk. Thank you. Did you did you practice that or get trained that to someone? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I did. I did a lot of. Well, first of all, I thought about what it would be like to, you know, when you're trying to like wake your foot up when you've been sitting on it for too long and it's not listening to your brain. Things like that. Like how would somebody else's foot move on your body? And then I had the great idea of working with a a butoh dance teacher, which is this Japanese dance of death, which is about reanimating a corpse. So I would sort of I studied that for a little while and just a little bit of everything, like walking through the streets. Like I had to walk around. Yeah. With my dog, I would walk around Toronto like I had some kind of. Wow. Like if you're going to Starbucks or something, you just walk like that. Yeah. Yeah. Shake of the Lord. He's walking funny. Yeah. I forgot. Yeah, I forgot that people might watch. But yeah. But even the voice, by the way, and the way you're communicating and talking, I was like, man, oh, man, you just kind of nailed it. I have a picture of you, by the way, with your dog, I guess, on set, which is so here's Jacob in full makeup with his dog. Now, is this after this is after you walk the dog? And she was so sick of me at that point. She was like, let me sleep. Yeah. She's like, I'm so tired of this and you look weird. You crushed it, though. I you would think like with with Guillermo del Toro, too, you kind of see like these creatures and stuff like that, which you do see. Yeah, but it did. But that was all practical makeup. But yeah, but a lot of the stuff that when he's experimenting and stuff like that, it's real, it's real. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Puppetry. Yeah. Real puppetry and real like wax figures and things like that. They were all handmade. And how's some of them he put his own money into as well in the film when the studio wouldn't pay for it. He would pay. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. To this to this day, that's why he's like he's the greatest filmmaker alive. I love that. Yeah. Did you did you fan out? Did you geek out when you first met him? Yeah. Yeah. Inside, I exploded. I think. Yeah, I'm still I'm still played. It's so cool. You played it so cool. No, I really didn't. I really didn't. I just when you meet it, when you meet an artist that magnitude that's affected your life and everyone's sort of life for so long, you just you just have to let them know how important their work is like you. Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah. Thank you. That's that's that's that's what I do to you. Thank you. I said the same to you. How do we how do we set up this movie Frankenstein? I mean, everyone kind of knows the story, but I think I think it's a it's a film about being human and about how we're all misunderstood and how we misunderstand ourselves. And I guess the hope is with the film at the end, we can all maybe understand each other a little bit better or make a move toward understanding and listening to each other. It's a really human film. Well done. I want to show everyone a clip. Here's Jacob Elordi in Frankenstein. Take a look at that.
