Jacob Elordi Says He Was Comfortable While Filming Nude Scenes For 'Euphoria'

Jacob Elordi is comfortable with being naked on the hit HBO Max show, "Euphoria." The actor made the revelation during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday, according to People.

The 24-year-old Australian star, who plays the role of high schooler Nate Jacobs on the HBO series, described his character as a "sweet, lovable, relatable, giant, 18-year-old psychopath," while speaking to host Ellen DeGeneres, 64.

The two of them began talking about how Elordi's character has a lot of scenes that require him to strip down. Elordi said he "kind of [has] no choice" but to shoot the nude scenes, adding that it all "comes with the territory of the character."

"He's this ultra-masculine, macho jock. Those guys, I think, tend to go around pretty shirtless, so it's sort of OK," said the star. "We have an intimacy coordinator ... She's like a second mother. She's like, 'Are you comfortable? Are you OK?' To the point where you're like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fine.'"

However, the fact that "the crew has been the same from the first season through the second season" makes it easier, according to Elordi. "It's like getting naked in front of your family, which is weird," he said. "It's always weird."

The young actor was struggling to stay afloat on his own in LA and was close to giving up on his Hollywood dream when he landed the role in "Euphoria," the actor told GQ Australia.

“I’d been in L.A. for about a year, I didn’t have any work and I had no money,” he said. “I didn’t really have anywhere to live and I was in my car and on mates’ couches. My visa had like two weeks before it expired, so I was going to dip out and go back to Australia.”

After "The Kissing Booth," Elrodi wasn't showered with offers and had no idea what to do next. “It was one of my first movies and your money runs out pretty quickly in Los Angeles,” he said. “I had my mom and dad making sure I was eating and I had a lot of support from friends, so I was very lucky. I was never down and out. But in terms of America, I was done.”

As for the role that gave him the opportunity to call LA home again, he says: “It is really nice that as a result of your work, maybe some kids can watch that show and feel like they’re a little bit more at home, that there’s people like them,” he adds. “That’s really important because I think that when I was a teenager I would have been looking for the same kind of thing, if I could relate to a character.”
