Regardless of whether you've been crushing on Jacob Elordi since Netflix's The Kissing Booth or HBO's Euphoria, there's no denying how charming and incredibly swoon-worthy he is. Jacob plays Elle's boyfriend, Noah, in The Kissing Booth, but it wasn't until he starred as a troubled heartthrob named Nate on Euphoria that he really sent my crush into overdrive. If you're like me and want to know more about Jacob, here are five fun facts about him.

He's 23

Jacob was born on June 26, 1997, in Brisbane, Australia, making him a Cancer. The Cancer is a water sign and its traits include loyalty, sympathy, and tenacity. Jacob attended St. Joseph's Nudgee College for drama in Boondall, Australia, but now resides in Los Angeles.

He's Taken — Well, Sort Of

Jacob was previously linked to his costar from The Kissing Booth, Joey King, but they broke up in 2019. "All you can really do at that point is shut your phone off and crawl into your sister's bed and watch Friends with her, because when you're going through something and the world wants to go through it with you or [wants] to get every piece of detail from you about it, it's really difficult. Some of these things are just meant for you," Joey said in an interview with Refinery29 in March 2019.

Following his romance with Joey, Jacob appeared to have moved on with his Euphoria costar, Zendaya, but he now seems to be dating model Kaia Gerber.

The Kissing Booth Was His First Major Role

Even though Jacob previously appeared in the 2018 comedy Swinging Safari with Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce, his role as Noah Flynn in Netflix's The Kissing Booth was the film that put him on the scene.

He's a Tall Drink of Water

According to Google, Jacob is 6' 5."

His Celebrity Idol Is Heath Ledger

"My dream costar would definitely be Heath Ledger," he revealed in an interview with IMDB. "There have been a lot of times in Hollywood where I've wanted to throw in the towel and I've watched something that he's said or watched his journey, and it's made me feel pretty good."
