Makeup artist Mike Hill told Vanity That it was Elordi’s physique that really added another layer to the character.
“The thing about Jacob is that he just has all rolled to one,” Hill said. “What attracted me to him was his gangness and his wrists. It was this loose. Then he has these really gloomy moments where he looks at you really skillfully, and his eyelids are low, with the long lashes like Karloff. I was like:” I don’t know who you can get with a physicality like this. “His behavior is innocent, but it is included in a six foot-five frame.
