Jacob Elordi on Collaborating with Justin Kruzel on the Amazon Series ‘The Narrow Road to the Deep North’ – ‘You Should Meet Your Heroes’


The actor and filmmaker discuss Elordi's weight loss and filming "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" in their home country of Australia.

Kurzel, like the rest of the world, had been watching Elordi’s ascent in projects like “Euphoria,” “Priscilla” and “Saltburn.” He sent the actor an email saying he was adapting Richard Flanagan’s acclaimed novel “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” for television. And he wanted Elordi to play the role of Dorrigo Evans, a soldier whose passionate love affair with his uncle’s wife helps sustain him when imprisoned in a WWII Japanese labor camp. Elordi first shot the early flashback scenes in which Dorrigo falls for Amy (played by Odessa Young) and the actors were afford two weeks of rehearsal to build the relationship, having only ever met once before in passing and cast without a chemistry read.
