Jacob Elordi on Why Losing Weight to Play a Prisoner of War in ‘Narrow Road to the Deep North’ ‘Wasn’t Torture’: ‘There Was a Peace That Came Over All of Us’


Jacob Elordi revealed he had to lose weight to play a prisoner of war in new series 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North' at a Berlin Film Festival.

Jacob Elordi had to lose weight to play a prisoner of war in the new Justin Kurzel-directed series “ The Narrow Road to the Deep North ” — but to him it “wasn’t torture.” Based on Richard Flanagan’s Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name, “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” follows 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. Alongside Elordi, “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” also stars Ciarán Hinds, Odessa Young, Olivia DeJonge and Simon Baker.
