Australian

actor Jacob Elordi has stunned fans with a first look at his dramatic transformation into The Creature for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein. The film, which reimagines Mary Shelley’s classic story, pairs Elordi’s monster with Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein. Ahead of its Netflix release on November 7, audiences are getting a rare glimpse of the actor in full makeup, which completely changes his appearance.

Key Details:

• Transformation: Jacob Elordi’s look as The Creature is shocking and unrecognisable. He appears with pale, cadaver-like skin, visible lacerations, and long, stringy hair, capturing the monster’s haunting presence.
• Makeup Process: The transformation took 10 hours each day in the makeup trailer. Elordi often skipped meals and lost track of time, fully dedicating himself to the role.
• Dedication: For early call times, Elordi would begin preparation at 10 P.M. the night before. Guillermo del Toro praised his commitment, as reported by PEOPLE, “Never once did he complain. He put in 20-hour days.”
• Impact on Elordi: Playing The Creature profoundly changed him. Elordi said (as per PEOPLE) it “changed the way I approach performance and the way that I watch movies.”
• Co-stars: Alongside Elordi and Oscar Isaac, the film stars Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, and Christoph Waltz, whose character portraits were released by Netflix on October 24.
• Del Toro’s View: At the Toronto International Film Festival, del Toro said he was excited to cast Elordi despite his fame and looks: “The soulfulness of his eyes is just overwhelming.”
• Release Dates: Frankenstein will stream on Netflix starting November 7.

With Elordi’s transformative look and del Toro’s signature storytelling, Frankenstein promises to offer a fresh, gripping take on the classic tale, combining intense visuals with deep emotional drama. Stay tuned for more updates!
