What Makes Jacob Elordi 'Frankenstein' Transformation So Incredible?
The process involved multiple layers and grueling daily transformations.
I have to say, reading about Jacob Elordi’s process for Frankenstein totally blew me away. Ten hours in makeup every single day? That’s insane dedication.
Elordi described the layers of the costume and how the Creature evolves physically over time:
"When he’s born, he’s wearing nearly nothing. His chest is open and his head is high. Then, as he starts to experience pain, as we do as a teenager, he starts to hunch his shoulders. And as an adult, he closes off."
What really got me was how he just threw himself into it completely. No breakfast, no lunch, no sense of time:
"It was just one time," he said. I mean, that’s commitment.
Even del Toro noticed. "Never once did he come to me and complain… He put in 20-hour days," the director shared.
Honestly, it makes me even more excited to see him on screen. This kind of dedication rarely translates so well on film — but with Elordi, I have a feeling it will.
