The actor revealed how he got inspiration for his role, saying:"The first reference that Guillermo del Toro sent me was a picture of Iggy Pop. It's a classic photo—he looks a bit strung out. I had just played a POW in Justin Kurzel's show The Narrow Road to the Deep North. I, luckily, in the mirror, looked similar to Iggy Pop."AFI Awards - Source: GettyDuring the conversation, Jacob Elordi also talked about the filming duration, confessing that he felt isolated throughout the process."I was living in a three-story gothic house in Toronto that had all these window seats. I would curl up in them and watch people walk by. My days were spent on set—I felt very secluded from the outside world. It's not the kind of role where you can have lunch with your friends. If I saw people, I'm afraid it would’ve been like the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz—I think they would’ve spoken, and I would've melted in front of them."Also Read: "Great surprise so deserved": Netizens buzz as Jacob Elordi wins Best Supporting Actor at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards for Frankenstein
