Heathcliff might be Elordi’s highest-profile performance to date, but Gen Z has grown up with him on their screens and there’s a case to be made he’s their defining heart-throb. Elordi’s breakout role was in Netflix’s hugely popular Kissing Booth films, in which he played the teenage protagonist’s respectful older love interest Noah Flynn between 2018 and 2021. At the same time, Elordi starred in HBO’s edgy, sex-and-drugs teen drama Euphoria as toxic jock Nate Jacobs. The contrasting roles not only showcased Elordi’s range, but set him up to be a generational crush whether your tastes ran to good guys or bad boys. He is also, famously, 6ft 5in.
