JACOB ELORDI is gracing our screens once again, this time as the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein – and it seems audiences can’t get enough of the Australian actor.
According to Google Trends data, Elordi’s global search record charts an extraordinary rise from Netflix romcom newcomer to one of Hollywood’s most in-demand leading men.
Google Trends shows his career highs with clear spikes in search interest.
His breakthrough role came in 2018 when he starred in Netflix’s The Kissing Booth, introducing him to Gen Z audiences around the world.
The following year, he solidified his profile as Nate Jacobs in HBO’s Euphoria, a role that won critical acclaim and expanded his fanbase beyond romcom audiences.
But it’s in the past two years that Elordi’s popularity has skyrocketed.
Searches for “Jacob Elordi” reached new global highs after the release of Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn in 2023.
It makes sense that all these projects are among the top 25 related searches – alongside relationship history, of course.
Searches have surged again this fall, thanks to the release of Frankenstein.
Early reviews of the film have praised Elordi for his ability to combine vulnerability with intensity, showing he can tackle challenging characters. A million miles away from the character he played in The Kissing Booth.
The data also shows that Elordi has international appeal.
Early searches were mainly in Australia, the US and the UK. Recent trends show growing interest across Europe, Asia and South America, with his choice of roles boosting his global profile.
Elordi looks set to maintain his momentum with Wuthering Heights, scheduled for release in 2026, in which he will star opposite Margot Robbie.
The casting is already sparking excitement, appealing to fans of classic literature as well as general moviegoers.
Frankenstein audiences have been fascinated by how Elordi brings Mary Shelley’s iconic character to life. As Wuthering Heights is also a beloved literary classic, expectations are sky high.
Literary fans will be watching closely, hoping for an adaptation that honors the original and doesn’t just appeal to Hollywood.
Each major appearance sparks a worldwide search spike, making Elordi a soon-to-be household name.
He is a phenomenon whose every role – from Nate Jacobs to the Creature and, soon, Heathcliff – triggers global attention.
With Frankenstein out last month and Wuthering Heights on the horizon, one thing is certain: Elordi’s well on the way with his journey from teen heart-throb to Hollywood A-lister.
