Jacob Elordi on Weight Loss for New Series

Jacob Elordi, known for his role in 'Euphoria,' underwent significant weight loss for his part in 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North,' a series based on Richard Flanagan's novel, where he plays a medical officer in a Japanese POW camp. Despite the physical demands, Elordi described the experience as 'calming' and 'profound,' largely due to the camaraderie and support among the cast. The series spans various periods of the character Dorrigo Evans' life, from a WWII POW to a renowned surgeon, and explores complex themes of love, guilt, and survival. Directed by Justin Kurzel, the series also features actors like Ciarán Hinds and Odessa Young, and is set for release on Amazon Prime Video. Elordi emphasized that his choice of roles is driven more by artistic fulfillment than commercial success.
