Jacob Elordi Heats Up Berlin — and Debuts New Sideburns — at Premiere of Prisoner of War Series ‘Narrow Road to the Deep North’


Jacob Elordi brought the heat to Berlin at 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North' premiere, debuting his latest adventure in facial hair -- sideburns.

Jacob Elordi brought the heat to snowy Berlin at the premiere of his new war-set miniseries “ The Narrow Road to the Deep North ” on Saturday night, debuting his latest adventure in facial hair: sideburns. But excitement over a new Brontë film adaptation aside, Elordi’s stop in Berlin was to debut “The Narrow Road to the Deep North.” The series tells the story of medical officer Dorrigo Evans, a “Japanese prisoner of war forced to work on the Thai-Burma railway” who is “haunted by the memory of his affair with his uncle’s wife, Amy,” according to an official synopsis. The two episodes screened for Berlin attendees were equal parts harrowing and sexy, switching between gruesome shots of life in a POW camp — which had some in the audience covering their eyes — and the forbidden romance between Elordi’s Dorrigo and the much younger wife of his uncle, played by Odessa Young.
