Jacob Elordi Reveals His First Celebrity Crush Was Brad Pitt: Tonight Show Firsts | The Tonight Show

[@jos44]

The way Jimmy tried to dissuade him from saying Brad Pitt, and Jacob was having none of it - "That's a beautiful man"🤣

Nope. I'm not trying to say the wrong guy played Elvis but yes the wrong guy played Elvis.

it makes me so happy that guys can talk about their crushes on other guys on live tv and its not a big scandal or anything. and he even doubled down and said “thats a beautiful man!” :) it makes my gay heart happy. good for him

[@theInfiniteAwakening]

[@raspberrycharlotte]

He's so honest! Not afraid to say Lilo and Stitch was his first Elvis encounter. And has a man crush! 🙌🙌🙌

[@MrCrowebobby]

"had" a man crush when he was a boy.

[@cheesecakelasagna]

@@MrCrowebobby idk about you but Brad Pitt's still aging well

[@MrCrowebobby]

@@cheesecakelasagna Brad's a handsome man, but it means nothing if you're only attracted to late teens/early twenties. I aged very well up to 80 and still had a full head of hair, but I lost my sex drive at around 70 and am really falling apart as I reach 87 in two weeks. Most people no longer have the drive to work out and moisturize at a certain point, especially if you no longer desire sex. (Of course I was no Brad Pitt when I was young, so I just aged well with what God gave me.)

[@harleyquiinnnn]

The fact that he said it so casually is a huge thing. He doesnt owe it to anyone to explain what his sexuality is but let's not diminish the possibility that this could mean that he's not straight. That would be straightwashing. This is exactly how it should be, be totally casual with who you are attracted to and not have to explain your sexuality to anyone.

[@DjinnRummy]

Very well said!!

[@BTURNER1961]

I like the way you phrase this. "lets not diminish the possibility.." is not the same as claiming he is gay which is presumptuous. The only person who has the right to label his sexuality is Jacob, but its pretty clear that his answer enhances the likelyhood he does not identify himself as straight and he's inviting some speculation with his choice. Jacob is not saying anything, and he's not walking away from anything. Neither should we!

[@RyanM268]

I definitely like Jacob’s candor and honesty. Men always name a female when being asked this question. A crush doesn’t always equate romantic & sexual interest. Most men have someone of the same sex that they greatly like, admire,respect, or find to be good-looking, but they’re just afraid to share it & say it out loud.

[@scoobydisney]

On the other hand, it absolutely can indicate romantic/sexual interest, and that is most likely here, IMO.

[@harleyquiinnnn]

But it absolutely can equate to it too. He doesnt owe it to anyone to explain what his sexuality is and the fact that he said it so casually is a huge thing. But let's not diminish the possibility that this could mean that he is bisexual. That would be straightwashing.

[@dnvb3233]

but I don’t think any straight man would give such an answer (because of stereotypes as you said)

We are slowly approaching the time where people can more easily admit their sexuality casually and it not being a huge thing

agreed, but it's also important that when people come out especially when they struggle to know that they ARE loved, and being openly LGBTQ does not make them any less valuable.

I'm 100% gay though I've had sex with girls and women -- just because it was there -- but I had crushes of women as a little boy and as a teen (the first being Paulette Godard when I was 6; later Silvana Mangano in "Bitter Rice" when I was 13 or 14). Having a crush and actually having sex with that crush are very different.

He was just lucky! So many would have to go back home. It was his looks and still his looks hes getting projects! Its not his acting though hes decent. That is not why they are hiring him. The frankenstine movie he was picked when the other actor cancelled for him is to attract the gen z audience for toro to make Netflix money and himself and actors etc. Toro himself admitted. Its networking Same with Pricilla and salt burn was his looks not his acting. Even Coppola talked and himself about the girls there the day they met at the diner to talk about the movie. She sensed a popularity like Elvis being a sex symbol the way those girls act and he admitted they did him a favor. You take his looks and tallness out of the equation no millions of dollars for Jacob! Saturday nite live on Jan 20th proved that with being one of the worse sl hosted with jacob as the host. All the skits was about his looks and sex symbol stuff plus Jake is no comedian. He wasn't jacob the companion that nite. Its his body getting that money not acting though he says he hates that he seems to love it now and that 12,000,000.00 plus they projecting for him in 2024.
