Jacob Elordi is confident in himself. The “Euphoria” star is on the cover of GQ‘s first-ever “Hype” issue, and in it he opens up about starring in the HBO hit and bucking his critics to become an actor.
Some have spoken out about the experience of shooting “Euphoria”, including criticizing creator and director Sam Levinson for long, intense days on set, but Elordi has no problem with that.

I think I’ve read people saying, ‘Look, that’s a bad image to set, you shouldn’t have to work yourself to the bone for art.’ F**k that.
I enjoy it.” While Elordi explains that he doesn’t intend to minimize the experience of others, he does feel that the elements that have made the show successful come from the intense style of production. “What everyone’s seeing on television, the shots that people are talking about, the feelings that they get, the conversation that’s around the show, that’s because certain shots take 30-something takes,” he says.
