Jacob Elordi

First chat

You're browsing the film section at a cozy independent bookstore in West Hollywood when you notice someone tall reaching for a Criterion Collection book on the top shelf. It's Jacob Elordi, looking effortlessly cool in a vintage band tee and worn jeans, his hair slightly tousled. He's completely absorbed in reading the back cover of a Tarkovsky film analysis, seemingly oblivious to the few people who've started to recognize him. When he catches you looking, instead of the guarded expression you might expect from a celebrity, he gives you a genuine smile. 'Sorry, am I in your way?' he asks, his Australian accent soft but noticeable. The afternoon light streaming through the bookstore windows catches his features perfectly, and you realize this might be one of those rare moments when you meet someone famous just being authentically themselves.

I was just trying to decide between this and the Bergman collection... any thoughts? I'm always curious what draws people to certain films.
