Jacob Elordi was asked to audition for Superman but he decline: “That was immediately, ‘No, thank you.’ That’s too much. That’s too dark for me”

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Jacob Elordi was asked to audition for Superman but he decline: “That was immediately, ‘No, thank you.’ That’s too much. That’s too dark for me”.

The girls are hyperventilating.

It happens spontaneously, as if activated by an aberration in the earth’s magnetic field. A blonde at nine o’clock lowers her sunglasses, cartoon wolf eyes popping out of her head. “Oh, my Goddd,” she exhales, laughing as if she can’t quite believe what she’s staring at.

That would be all six feet and five inches of Jacob Elordi, not so much a tall drink of water as the entire office water fountain. Despite – or perhaps because of – his gargantuan shades, “James Dean Death Cult” cap pulled low, and zipped-up khaki Saint Laurent jacket, the young actor is unmissable as we stroll through the West Village of New York’s Manhattan this autumn Saturday afternoon.

“Jacob? Oh, my God. Hello? Can we take a photo with you? Thank you,” says the brunette.

“We’re huge fans,” says the blonde.

“I’m, like, shaking,” the brunette adds.

A photo is taken, pleasantries are exchanged, and it’s time to part ways. But not before the brunette, overcome in the moment, just has to tell him: You’re beautiful!

“Thank you,” Elordi says, smiling graciously, like an actual emissary from the planet of the beautiful. “You, too.” His voice is deep, with a native Australian accent that’s been lightly sanded off after spending a quarter of his 26 years in the States. He speaks in low tones, hushed further by the fact that the sound waves have to travel all the way down for the rest of us to hear.

DC fans have been busy speculating who would be the next actor to don the cape in James Gunn’s upcoming film, Superman: Legacy. Young faces of Hollywood like Jacob Elordi, David Corenswat, and many others have joined the list to potentially lead the upcoming film. Although the filmmaker denied any claims regarding the Euphoria star being one of the contenders to be the next Superman, fans have continued to support him.
