Jacob Elordi came to Frankenstein by chance: Andrew Garfield had been chosen to slip into the terrible skin of the monster, but a scheduling problem made him abandon the project. Guillermo del Toro So, he saw a film that he had wanted to make since he first turned on a camera in danger. Fortunately, del Toro is not just any director and he immediately had a replacement, Jacob Elordi, one of the hot actors, and the film was made. We can now see it in Netflix Spain.
Who was in the movie from the beginning was Oscar Isaacthe target of some of the craziest advice an actor has ever received in a horror film: imitate Mick Jagger. And David Bowie. And to any rock superstar, since, according to del Toro, his scientist and father of the monster must have been closer to Iggy Pop than to Peter Cushing in Frankenstein’s Curse.
Jacob Elordi He did not receive such lucid instructions: an inaccessible work routine was simply imposed on him and he was expected to comply with it. And, as soon as Oscar Isaac saw him, for the first time, described as a monster, he did not hold back his opinion: “What an idiot“.
What does Oscar Isaac think of Jacob Elordi?
In an interview, Oscar Isaac recalled the first time he saw Jacob Elordi wearing makeup. Or rather, the first time he saw an almost two-meter creature with Jacob Elordi’s ID card, because it is difficult to recognize the handsome Australian in Guillermo del Toro’s cadaverous monster. Oscar Isaac was even more impressed to know that Jacob Elordi underwent five, six and seven hour makeup sessions and that he even went to the film set the day before filming began so as not to waste other people’s time.
His verdict was immediate: “What an idiot, he should have asked for a raise“He remembers it as well as Jacob Elordi himself, who is the first to intercede to provide the right word that Isaac said to him when he saw him: “Idiot.” Guillermo del Toro renounced the commitment of Jacob Elordi, who never complained even though he worked up to 20 hours straightbetween makeup, preparation and filming, and did not regret his bulky prosthesis, which usually bothers the actors a lot, as is the case of John Rhys-Davies, who has always justified his non-return to the Universe of He The Lord of the Rings cto no longer wear Gimli’s makeup.
