He faced the opposite challenge recently, leaning down considerably and cutting 10 kgs (22 pounds) for his role in the upcoming drama film Deep Water, which he achieved by reducing the number of meals he was eating per day.

I'm terrible at keeping to a schedule, so unless someone's telling me to do it and telling me to eat, then usually I'll just forget and I'll start doing something else.'

'I don't really enjoy the process of eating, I feel like it wastes a lot of time. This turned out to be something of a tall order for Elordi, who admits that he frequently 'forgets' to eat. 'I don't eat very much, so I had to eat a lot more protein because I was training a lot more, because I'm playing a quarterback and an athlete,' he says. He brings an undeniable physicality to that role, towering over many of his co-stars, but as Elordi tells Men's Health in a new Eat Like, he also worked hard to embody the character, and when he got the part of Nate, he had to up his calorie intake in order to be able to believably play a high school star quarterback.

Australian actor Jacob Elordi carved out a reputation as a teen heartthrob while playing dreamy leading man Noah in Netflix's The Kissing Booth trilogy, but is best known for his performance as the deeply troubled and sinister Nate in HBO's Euphoria, which returns for its long-awaited second season in January.
