00:00 "The first thing you do when you wake up?"

00:02 "Uh, coffee.

00:03 I make a coffee.

00:04 I just wake up and go coffee."

00:06 Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today, we're counting down our picks for the on and off screen moments

00:11 that made us fall for up-and-coming star Jacob Elordi.

00:14 "Come on then, follow me."

00:18 Number 10.

00:19 Fairy Bread

00:20 It's no secret to anyone who knows him that Jacob Elordi is proud of where he comes from.

00:25 Born in Brisbane, Australia, Elordi often speaks about his love for his country, particularly

00:30 his hometown, which he describes with deep admiration.

00:33 "There's something about the houses, like the style of the house, it's called a Queenslander,

00:37 and it has like an airway underneath it, and you live upstairs."

00:41 In many interviews, Elordi has been asked about the differences between his home country

00:45 and America.

00:46 While speaking to Vanity Fair, he was asked about certain customs, including fairy bread,

00:51 which is a sprinkle-covered white bread treat.

00:53 "Fairy bread is a classic, it's a staple at any kid's party, or any party for that matter."

01:00 After describing the sugary snack, Elordi stated that it's not only a rite of passage

01:04 for Australian kids, but it's even good for them.

01:07 "It's a formative meal for Australian youth."

01:09 While we might disagree on the nutritional value of fairy bread for children, it's safe

01:13 to say that Elordi has a lot of love for his home, and we can't fault him for that.

01:19 Number 9.

01:20 American Accent

01:21 Is he American?

01:22 Is he British?

01:24 Many people are surprised to learn that Jacob Elordi actually hails from Down Under.

01:28 His on-screen accent is so natural that viewers typically assume that the Gen Z star is American.

01:33 "I don't start fights, okay?

01:35 I only finish them."

01:37 From his breakout role on The Kissing Booth to the hit TV series Euphoria, Elordi has

01:41 been showing off his chameleon skills for years.

01:44 "I love Maddie.

01:45 I'd never do anything to hurt her."

01:48 He even gave such a convincing impersonation of Elvis Presley's signature sound in Priscilla

01:52 that the film's subject was impressed.

01:54 "This is my buddy Joe from back home.

01:56 How you doing?

01:57 Always stuffing his face."

01:58 When finally asked on Jimmy Kimmel Live how he learned his accent, Elordi revealed that

02:02 his process was pretty straightforward.

02:04 "You know, I think it, and then I say it."

02:06 Yeah, watching American media and listening to Eminem helped him nail the dialect.

02:11 But as it turns out, Elordi was born to play American characters.

02:14 "You only get one shot.

02:15 Do not miss your chance to blow."

02:18 8.

02:19 Trying the iconic mug sip

02:20 Let's be honest, most people love a good talk show.

02:24 "By the way, this is the best time I've ever had on a talk show."

02:27 Over the years, there have been many programs with different hosts.

02:30 But one thing that is almost always common is the drinks.

02:34 For those who don't know, guests are given something to quench their thirst while they

02:37 chat, often in a coffee mug.

02:39 Not only does this provide guests with a refreshment, but also lends to some hilarious moments where

02:44 the mug is used as a prop during stories.

02:46 "Everything has tonality to it, so if I were to…"

02:51 When Elordi made his first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he couldn't

02:56 pass up the opportunity to take a sip from the mug.

02:58 "I've always wanted to do this."

02:59 "Yeah.

03:00 Wow.

03:01 Yeah.

03:02 Wow, you did it right there, yeah."

03:04 Not only was it a funny moment, but also shows how down-to-earth and relatable Jacob Elordi

03:08 truly is.

03:10 7.

03:11 TV Actor of the Year Award

03:14 While he might not be that far into his career yet, Jacob Elordi has already earned recognition

03:18 for his achievements.

03:20 At the 2019 GQ Australia Men of the Year Awards, Elordi was honored with the TV Actor of the

03:25 Year Award.

03:26 The award was presented by Kim Ledger, fellow Australian and father of the late film legend

03:30 Heath Ledger.

03:32 Shortly after being praised for bringing his parents as his date, Elordi took to the stage

03:36 and admitted to ignoring his mom's sage advice for the evening.

03:39 "My mom told me to write something, and I didn't."

03:45 While he didn't prepare a speech, he didn't break a sweat, and he not only acknowledged

03:50 his honor, but also Ledger's impact on the industry.

03:52 "I'm without words, you know, to be able to shake your hand and stand here and hold this

03:57 end up."

03:58 Kim Ledger was right.

03:59 Jacob Elordi is a nice guy.

04:01 "Thank you very much."

04:02 6.

04:03 Interview Crashing

04:05 If you've ever had your parents interrupt an important work call, this one's for you.

04:09 "Whose phone's ringing?"

04:10 As it turns out, celebrities have also been on the receiving end of some awkward situations

04:15 when taking virtual calls.

04:17 When the pandemic shut down "in-person" interviews, Elordi appeared virtually to promote his upcoming

04:22 projects.

04:23 While answering questions for GQ's "Actually Me" segment in 2020, Elordi paused to let

04:27 his mom know that her phone was ringing.

04:29 "That's your phone."

04:30 "My phone's on vibrate."

04:31 "No, that's your phone."

04:32 "No, I'm so sorry."

04:33 "Yeah, well, look.

04:34 What is this?"

04:35 "It's my phone."

04:36 "What do you think this is?"

04:37 "We're in a channel."

04:38 Then, two years later, Today co-host Hoda Kotb noticed a few sneaky figures lurking

04:43 in the background.

04:44 "Who are the people sitting on your bed that I can see in the mirror?"

04:46 "You can see them?"

04:47 "In the mirror."

04:48 "Oh, they're in the mirror.

04:49 That's my mom and dad."

04:50 "Oh, wow!"

04:51 Elordi is notably very close with his parents, but maybe next time he'll book them a separate

04:56 room when he has an interview.

04:58 5.

04:59 Nervous Boy

05:00 For those who know Jacob Elordi from his hit show Euphoria, it might be hard to separate

05:05 the actor from his character.

05:06 "You're abusive."

05:07 "Psychopathic.

05:08 Most of the time I really hate the way you make me feel."

05:14 "I know."

05:15 Nate Jacobs is the definition of toxic masculinity, often ruthless and even cruel in his actions

05:20 throughout the first two seasons of the show.

05:23 Luckily, Elordi's real-life persona is quite the opposite.

05:26 This was made obvious by his first in-person talk show appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

05:31 When speaking with guest host Julie Bowen, he adorably revealed that he was the opposite

05:35 of calm and collected.

05:36 "You said calm, like calm Australian man?

05:39 I was like, no, I'm like a nervous boy."

05:41 He even admitted to being nervous to meet Bowen, given that he had a crush on her when

05:45 he was a boy.

05:46 "I actually had a crush on you when I was younger."

05:49 We're both impressed and relieved that Elordi and his fictional counterpart couldn't be

05:53 more different.

05:55 4.

05:56 Cooking Skills

05:57 Since 2015, Jacob Elordi has solidified himself as one to watch by his incredible acting skills

06:03 and diverse projects.

06:05 Not only that, but he's also earned himself the title of Gen Z heartthrob in his short

06:09 time in Hollywood.

06:10 "Anyone I bring your name up to, it's like a huge fan of yours."

06:14 He's charming, funny and undeniably talented.

06:17 But one box Elordi hasn't checked off?

06:19 Cooking.

06:20 "He can cook.

06:21 Husband material.

06:22 Crying emoji.

06:23 No, actually, I can't cook at all."

06:26 When reading comments for GQ's Actually Me series, Elordi quickly shut down rumors that

06:31 he's a good cook.

06:32 However, there's one dish he has mastered - toast.

06:35 "If you want to sign up for a life of really well-leathered butter and jam on toast, then

06:40 yeah, absolutely, I'm husband material."

06:42 Luckily for Elordi, it seems that not all hope is lost as some eager fans offer to make

06:47 him breakfast.

06:48 Bon appetit!

06:49 "How do you like your eggs cooked in the morning?

06:51 I don't.

06:52 Please don't cook my eggs.

06:53 I'll make my own breakfast."

06:54 3.

06:55 Firsts

06:56 While Jacob Elordi has been popping up on screens more and more lately, he still has

07:01 yet to become a household name.

07:02 Luckily, there have been no shortage of opportunities to learn more about the rising star as he

07:07 makes his rounds through the press circuit.

07:08 "I'm going to ask you a series of questions about your first time doing something."

07:13 One such opportunity was Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show Firsts game.

07:16 In a flash round of Q&A, Elordi revealed many lesser-known facts about himself.

07:21 For instance, at his first concert, he cried when Eminem departed the stage.

07:26 "Yeah, I wept like a baby when he left."

07:28 His first celebrity crush was Brad Pitt, specifically in Troy.

07:35 And the most ironic of all, he admitted that he didn't know any Elvis Presley until he

07:40 heard the songs played in Lilo & Stitch.

07:45 Hey, you can't blame the guy for being honest.

07:51 2.

07:52 Starring as Elvis Presley

07:54 Elvis has left the building.

07:55 Or has he?

07:57 Many were hesitant when they heard Jacob Elordi would depict the king in Sofia Coppola's adaptation

08:01 of Priscilla Presley's memoir.

08:02 "I gotta go do another film, so if you come back and you don't want to go to school, maybe

08:07 your parents will let you come back."

08:08 "Yes, but when?"

08:09 "We'll sort it out.

08:10 Come here."

08:11 Especially since it had only been a year since Austin Butler's standout performance in Elvis.

08:20 While Elvis is not the central figure in this film, Elordi still brought a fresh perspective

08:25 to the famed singer that distinguished his performance and earned him well-deserved praise.

08:37 To prepare for the role, Elordi took a mild approach.

08:40 In fact, his main technique?

08:42 Eating bacon.

08:45 Working with a director like Coppola put Elordi on the map in a big way and set him up for

08:49 even more exciting collaborations in the future.

09:11 #1 Saltburn

09:13 While Priscilla proved to be an important role for Elordi, Saltburn was the standout credit

09:18 on his 2023 filmography.

09:26 With ample shock value, the movie became an instant viral hit, stirring up conversation

09:31 and memeification during the holiday season.

09:34 After starring in a string of relatively similar roles, Elordi proved himself a versatile actor

09:39 as the aristocratic son Felix Caton.

09:46 Unlike his previous parts, Felix is actually a pretty nice guy, even if his family gives

09:51 off weird vibes.

09:58 The true gift from Saltburn, however, might be Elordi's friendship with co-star Barry

10:02 Keoghan.

10:03 The two gently and lovingly poke fun at each other whenever possible, and we cannot get

10:08 enough of their joint interviews.

10:15 Did you watch Saltburn with your family?

10:17 Did you regret it?

10:18 Tell us all about your embarrassing experience in the comments below.
