Jacob Elordi arrives at the Golden Globes this year not just as a first-time nominee but as a double nominee. The Euphoria actor received a nod in both the TV and film categories: for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and Best Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture for Television for The Narrow Road to the Deep North. This is Elordi’s first trip to the Golden Globes, for which he arrived in a Bottega Veneta suit with a pair of retro tinted glasses that appeared to be menswear trend of the night on the red carpet. He also accessorized with Cartier jewelry.

Both projects happen to be adapted from novels. Frankenstein, of course, is Mary Shelley’s classic Gothic horror novel from 1818. Elordi plays the iconic, non-verbal Creature (not to be confused with Victor Frankenstein, played by Oscar Isaac). Elordi went through an intense physical transformation involving upwards of 10 hours of makeup daily to become the Creature.

“There’s so many different layers to the costume,” Elordi told Variety in August. “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.”
Set during World War II, The Narrow Road to the Deep North is based on the Man Booker Prize–winning novel of the same name by Richard Flanagan. Elordi stars as Dorrigo Evans, an Australian doctor whose short but forbidden affair with his uncle’s wife sustains and haunts him while he is held captive in a POW camp on the Thai-Burma Railway during the war.
The Australian actor has a busy year ahead of him, starting with the highly-anticipated release of Emerald Fennel’s take on another classic 19th century novel: Wuthering Heights, in which Elordi plays the brooding Heathcliff. That’s followed by the long-awaited third season of Euphoria on HBO as well as Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars, adapted from the Peter Heller book and co-starring Margaret Qualley and Josh Brolin.
