Jacob Elordi, our beautiful Australian man-crush has, unfortunately, had to play one of the most hated characters on television – Nate Jacobs on Euphoria.
Thankfully, we know his acting is THAT amazing that the character he plays is not who he is IRL, but the poor fella has suffered some real-life consequences in the role – a concussion!!

Yes – Nate was a horrible character, but there was some real sympathy shown for him during the finale when he was having his meltdown. It wasn’t the easiest thing to watch as a viewer. Especially now knowing that he really hurt himself in the process.
When Jacob had to shoot the scene with Eric Dane (Cal), Jacob says, “Let’s rock and roll and make it sort of as real as possible.”
The pair took this role a little too seriously with their rocking-and-rolling.
“Eric f*cking smashed me. I was bleeding. I got a concussion. I ended up throwing up after work. It was gnarly. It was really, really gnarly.”
Gnarly isn’t the word we would use, but thank christ he’s okay!
If you’re seeing this from a character point of view, Jacob has seen the memes surrounding his fate, and he thinks they’re pretty damn funny.
“I’ve seen other sorts of TV villains get tortured online and get called awful things and I’ve heard that they’ve been spat at in the street. But I haven’t had anything. I’ve really only been embraced,” he said to Entertainment Weekly.
“And I mean, one person pointed a Glock at their TV screen and took a picture of it. But I suppose there’s humor in that, I hope. But yeah, it’s been overwhelmingly kind and just appreciative, which has been very new for me and very, very lovely.”
We’re just glad he’s okay!
