Frankenstein's monster actor Jacob Elordi passed the time in the SFX seat by whipping out a custom-shell Steam Deck

JAcob Elordi playing his custom-shell Steam Deck in the makeup/SFX seat, getting turned into Frankenstein's monster.

I know it shouldn't really be a factor, but learning that an actor or other celebrity is a PC gamer makes me take notice. I remember the furore when everyone discovered Henry Cavill was a PC gamer, for instance. So I have certainly noticed Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, because Jacob Elordi, the actor who plays Frankenstein's monster in the new Netflix movie, likes to pass the time by gaming on his Steam Deck.

In the Netflix promo material showing Elordi transforming into 'The Creature' for the role, we can see him busting out a Steam Deck to pass the time on, in addition to checking his phone and reading. Apparently, the transformation into Frankie's creature took 10 hours, so bringing a Deck to the makeup/SFX seat was certainly prudent.
