Adapted from the book of the same name, Netflix’s ‘The Kissing Booth‘ became quite popular, starring Jacob Eloridi, Joey King, and Joel Courtney. It was the very movie that made Elordi the heartthrob for playing the smoldering high school athlete.
However, Elordi seems pretty disappointed with ‘The Kissing Booth’ series. With the recent rejection for the role of Superman, the actor is very picky with his given choices.

Jacob Elordi Has Learned His Lesson
After being disappointed with the ‘Kissing Booth’ franchise, Jacob Elordi carefully picks up the films he wants to work in. He defended his choice of film saying, “How is caring about your output pretentious? But not caring, and knowingly feeding people shit, knowing that you’re making money off of people’s time, which is literally the most valuable thing that they have. How is that the cool thing?”
After ‘The Kissing Booth’, the ‘Euphoria’ star picks his projects more carefully. Eloridi stars as Elvis Presley in ‘Priscilla’. Also, he stars in an upcoming drama titled Saltburn and also turned down the role of Superman revealing that it was too dark for him.
