Jacob Elordi is busy earning heaps of praise from his director Ridley Scott. "Jacob's kind of a farm boy," Scott told People magazine about The Dog Stars star. He got onto that lawnmower tractor, just started the engine, started working it. Nobody told him how.
The movie depicts the post-apocalyptic world where survival wholly depends on flying planes, navigating deserted towns and perhaps most importantly, taking care of few good dogs. As per Scott, the director of the movie, the character was very crucial for any actor but Elordi, 29, outshined himself. The film is based on Peter Heller's novel of the same name.
He further told the outlet that it was not the only skill set Elordi brought to the set of the movie. His character's dog is central to the story, meaning that the actor had to work closely with several animals during filming. The Saltburn actor handled the dogs with care, displaying great command over all of them.
Following a lethal pandemic, the dog becomes much more than just a companion, serving as Hig's connection to his former life. The Dog Stars lands into theaters on Friday, August 28.
