Jacob Elordi Is Completely Unrecognizable in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein Movie Photo
Jacob Elordi is bringing one of pop culture’s most famous monsters to life—literally.
In the first look at Guillermo del Toro‘s upcoming Frankenstein movie, the Euphoria star transformed into the titular scientist’s reanimated creation. With his disfigured face wrapped up in tatter rags, Elordi was barely recognizable as a creature fused together by Dr. Viktor Frankenstein (played by Oscar Isaac).
And according del Toro , the 28-year-old was the “perfect actor” to take up the role after Andrew Garfield dropped out of the project due to scheduling conflicts.
“We have a supernaturally good connection,” the filmmaker told Vanity Fair in an interview published July 28. “It’s like, very few words. Very few things I have to say, and he does it.”
Likewise, makeup artist Mike Hill couldn’t be more thrilled with Elordi taking up the mantle.
“What attracted me to him was his gangliness and his wrists. It was this looseness,” Hill told the magazine. “I was like, ‘I don’t know who else you could get with a physicality like this.’”
