Jacob Elordi discusses his sexuality

In an interview with GQ on August 8, 2022, Jacob Elordi discussed being labeled gay at school as a result of his burgeoning acting career.

When he was 12, the Kissing Booth star began acting in school productions in Australia.

Unfortunately, his peers frequently chastised him for this.

In contrast, it was the inverse. He excelled at sports and theater, giving him an “abundance of confidence” in himself.

“I was quite good at sport, and I think I was quite good at the theater,” he said. It made me feel older or like I was above it. It gave me a sense of wisdom.”

Similarly, he didn’t care what his classmates thought of him. He was never concerned that they would consider him “less than a man.”

“There’s the classic thing of me doing plays with girl schools,” he continued. I spend my weekends reading the most romantic words ever written with the most beautiful women from the school next door.”

In school, he remembered playing Oberon from A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Oberon is the king of the fairies and a transgender character.

The actor went all out for the part, wearing leather jackets, purple glitter on his face, pink stripes in his hair, and rings on his fingers.

“I began to welcome those types of characters. I began to embrace femininity. I began speaking with my hands. “I started acting like a thespian,” Elordi explained.

Jacob Elordi was ecstatic to play Oberon for a variety of reasons.

Elordi also questioned labeling and confirming sexuality during the interview.
