During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, actor Jacob Elordi dropped a surprising name when discussing fans of the hit HBO show Euphoria. Elordi revealed that none other than Hollywood heavyweight Leonardo DiCaprio is a fan of the show and even approached him in a club to discuss camera angles.
Describing the encounter with DiCaprio, Elordi said, 'He came up to me in a club one time when I was sort of much younger... and he's like, 'The shot in the first season, you know the shot where you came in.'' It's quite a surreal moment to imagine, with two talented actors discussing such technical aspects in the midst of a club atmosphere.
Elordi couldn't help but express his admiration for DiCaprio, calling him the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) of acting. It's always fascinating to learn about the interactions and camaraderie among actors, especially when it involves someone as legendary as DiCaprio.
As the conversation shifted to the future of Euphoria, Elordi playfully expressed his uncertainty about when the show will begin filming again. HBO and Max chief Casey Bloys previously stated that the third season won't return until 2025, delayed due to writers and actors strikes. Elordi humorously remarked that unless they start soon, they might need to 'Benjamin Button' their characters, given that they are playing high school students. He emphasized that moving forward in time would be necessary to maintain the continuity of the story.
While it remains uncertain whether the third season will be the show's last, Bloys highlighted the star power among the ensemble cast—Elordi, Zendaya, and Sydney Sweeney. Ultimately, the decision will lie with creator Sam Levinson.
The season two finale of Euphoria left viewers with a major cliffhanger involving the character Fez, played by Angus Cloud. Tragically, Cloud passed away suddenly after filming in 2023, leaving fans wondering how his storyline will be resolved in the upcoming season.
During his appearance on Fallon, Elordi also addressed the now-viral bathtub scene from the show, which led to the creation of Elordi's bathwater candles. The actor humorously questioned who was profiting from the sales of these candles. Fallon even offered Elordi a candle to smell and give his opinion on. In a lighthearted moment, Elordi comically slurped the candle, comparing its scent to a washing room with a hint of detergent.
As fans eagerly await the return of Euphoria, it's clear that the show has made a significant impact, attracting both fans and esteemed actors like Leonardo DiCaprio. With its complex characters and gripping storytelling, it has become a cultural phenomenon. Let's hope that the upcoming season brings closure to ongoing storylines and continues to captivate audiences with its raw and honest portrayal of teenage life.
