Brisbane, Australia – Hollywood actor Jacob Elordi has surprised his American fans with his natural Australian accent during his appearance on Saturday Night Live. The 26-year-old actor, born in Brisbane, left viewers baffled as they had expected him to speak in an American accent. Many fans expressed their shock on social media, with one admitting that they had no idea Elordi had an accent.
Elordi, who gained popularity for his role in the TV series “Euphoria”, hosted Saturday Night Live and delivered his monologue in his authentic Australian twang. Some fans initially thought that his accent was a performance or that he was faking it. One fan took to Twitter to express their surprise, stating, “Jacob Elordi sounds like he’s faking his accent”, while another fan on a different thread wrote, “Jacob Elordi’s American accent, so I be forgetting he’s Australian.”
Despite the initial confusion, Elordi’s appearance on SNL only added to his growing success. The actor has gained a considerable following since his starring role in the racy film “Saltburn”, amassing 786,000 new Instagram followers since its release on Amazon Prime Video. With a staggering 13.6 million followers on Instagram, Elordi has become a viral sensation.
Not only has Elordi’s popularity soared, but his co-star Barry Keoghan also experienced a surge in followers, with 608,000 new Instagram followers in the last 30 days. Additionally, the movie “Saltburn” itself has created excitement online, garnering 4.1 billion views on TikTok under the hashtag #Saltburn.
Elordi’s Australian background was perhaps not widely known among his US fan base, leading to their surprise during his appearance on Saturday Night Live. Despite the initial shock, Elordi continues to captivate audiences with his talent and authenticity, solidifying his status as one of Hollywood’s rising stars.
