How about actually giving your employees information about these proposed sweeping layoffs?

[@mallorypineda9293]

He is very poetic, very in-tune with his thoughts & feelings . A little melancholy but in a beautiful mysterious way

[@siennamiel-wb7nl]

How can you seriously believe this about someone who is dating Olivia jade

[@larissa1770]

⁠@@siennamiel-wb7nl you act like you’ve been in the same room with Olivia. Just cause she had a public messy situation doesnt come to the conclusion that she’s a bad person. She’s probably a lovely girl in her own ways and connected with Jacob.

[@rmassey]

I edited this video and have worked for Conde Nast for nearly 6 years and even all that time in I still find myself waking up to news that I may be mysteriously laid off along with a huge amount of my hardworking coworkers. Seems like Conde should at the very least be upfront with us and explain why our jobs are constantly in jeopardy. Also it was really hard to find a picture of a Queenslander house so use your imagination, please.

[@Vladimi617]

🧢

[@deyhit]

you found the house no stress

[@beatonthedonis]

Conde Nast exists to make the Newhouse brothers richer than they already are, not to make you and your co-workers fulfilled and comfortable.

[@robbymassey4836]

​@@beatonthedonis Yeah dude you get it!

[@badgenesgoodlife]

the state of media these days is an absolute mess. Wishing you all the best!

[@lordrobin20]

This guy has been one of my favorite actors, since the first season of Euphoria. Always knew he was a great actor and his recent success is deserved. Excited to see him in more movies in the near future.

[@jazchuuuuuv]

he has such a way with words, i'm always mesmerized by how cultured and interesting he is whenever i watch an interview of his. he's the kind of person that i'd love to just sit down and talk to for hours.

[@valeriappd]

if he really is the way he presents himself in the media, then he is the most pleasant and sweet person in the world, I swear, I would listen to him talking about whatever he likes in the smallest details for hours

[@c.greystone9825]

Never come across ppl who expressed that way you did “If he really is the way he presents himself in the media”. Well put as we never know how the celebrity really is in person until you hear about their scandals.

[@katieleffers]

I really love how much he values moments in his life! I feel like I saw a bit into who he is as a person in this video. Makes the audience feel like a friend.

[@ScarlettJ1221]

Jacob is quite a remarkable guy, very intelligent

[@muskhaannp8265]

What makes you say that

[@sarahfier7961]

@@muskhaannp8265that’s wild

[@t-athena3601]

Lol, he definitely isn’t remarkable nor intelligent, you just want to suck his D

[@someguy42093]

He seems a little slow actually. In this interview

[@Starboyhenry777]

He is Definitively THE IT BOY, he is the moment and he knows!

[@meganmrad]

jacob loving bon iver makes so much sense

[@annikaargz]

It's awesome that he's very analytical & appreciative about the art & media he consumes the way I am too. Cool guy!

[@jujubees711]

Amazing that he recognizes Bowie as an innovator since Ziggy Stardust was way before his time. Bowie is one of my favorites too.

[@GoGoGirl22100]

he’s such a poet

[@jadeguarnera7486]

Five Years has been one of my absolute favourite Bowie songs for years

[@breezy4_]

Love the sweater. We need more Jacob content.

[@dogbsas]

$795 for that sweater :O

[@Promises_ging]

Jacob is amazing person and as a actor

[@vitaflood6677]

the way he spoke about his dog 🥲🥲 so sweet

[@leneriafillyau9447]

he’s great overall it’s not fair😭

[@tomperry5947]

Five years is so desperately energetic I’ve always thought it’s one of Bowie’s songs that have aged the most acutely

[@shazcow]

Why does Condé management continue to refuse to provide information to the union amid their sweeping plans for layoffs? 🎈

[@j.s3300]

Because they are easily disposed of

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

What are they contractually obligated to give? They’re not going to give anyone anything out of the goodness of their heart. That’s not how business works. They’re going to give you exactly what they’ve agreed to and nothing more or less than that.

[@oliviapopethe2nd]

he's literally so cutesy i can't

[@kristenxoxo4073]

I love him so freaking much ❤

[@_lispenardstreet]

bon iver and the national are you kidding me this dude has taste

[@robertriteman3227]

Sad that you do not seem to realize what a great choice 5 Years - one of the greatest songs to open an album

[@_lispenardstreet]

what a strange thing to say

[@tonistokes1790]

Great styling. Loving the dusty rose turtle neck, watch, rings, earrings and asics (formerly Tiger Onitsuka) flat shoes with the neutral background.

[@kabeloalotsi6118]

What’s so wild is that Perth is the song that got me HOOKED on Bon iver and knowing he loves them is so cool

[@angela897094]

I think Jacob displays the kind of intelligence Timothee Chalamet *thinks* he is displaying, but is just throwing out big words that don't really mean what he thinks they mean in the context he is using them. I still like him, he's just not that deep, lol. On the other hand, im liking Jacob Elordi more and more.

[@Sabrina-yz1nu]

Yesss

[@robertriteman3227]

An interesting take and i might note I took away a person who was comfortable in his authenticity whereas TC seems to be trying to hard

[@olu300]

I get but no, at all

[@asddewijklc]

That’s the Australian education system for ya 🕺🏼

[@s.r.5354]

he's so amazing

[@arianatorres3058]

He mentioned Fred❤

[@tkh1231]

I love him on Euphoria. The first season he was a maniac. They made him much more caring the second season and I think he really cared about Cassie. He's a great actor. Oh, and he is so hot, I love the way he speaks, really laid back.

[@cheesethunderstorms]

captions saying [soft sensual music] got me rolling 😭

[@ytjydps]

jacob is so cool

[@scoobydisney]

That mauve colour is beautiful on him.

[@mojaslatt]

Im in love with him fr

[@marievilla7081]

He would be a fantastic Chuck Bass!

[@rane6578]

He is gorgeous

[@Model_Roe]

He is and he's also so elegant he's kinda like a 1950s movie star

[@valeriappd]

like fr I hope Jacob can and will be his true self, and wouldn't play some kind of persona his pr wants him to play in public (especially all of his ridiculous pr relationships), he seems like such a sweet soul

[@haleycarson4129]

The subtle dig on the interview question about animals as self-explanatory lol

[@emmasaysrawrx3]

first celebrity crush since the ol 2011 one direction days 😩😩

[@shmmazz]

Five Years excellent song!

[@the.hot.button]

He's so beautiful.

[@MafiaMario444]

One of the only guys that can pull off a mauve turtleneck. The ASICS sneakers are 🙌⚽️®️

[@pf887]

had me cept for fred again and the national

[@ayushdwivedi4686]

He's the coolest fr

[@magnoliademiri-worman4271]

HES A DAVID BOWIE FAN!!!!!!!!!!???????????? omg.

[@futurehue]

All I want to know is where I can buy that chair.

[@aadyaaggarwal5312]

Hey Jacob, we actually have this kind of architecture in the hills of Himachal Pradesh in India. You should look up Shimla and Manali!

[@tonistokes1790]

Would love to see Elordi as the next Bond 007.

[@alexandervileno3202]

Omg😮yes pleaseee❤❤❤❤

[@Model_Roe]

YES he'd slay

Reminds me so much of a young Rupert Everett

his fav thing is me 😉

He loves animals and reads Rimbaud 😭

His voice is like Alexa demi but in male version

Why do you think that ?

[@chuchuRomero-hd1uk]

@@theresakrifka-dobes8335 just look at him🤣

[@jenmovies]

Next time ask him to name a woman?

[@-HRH]

I like him. He seems like the sort of chap one can converse with for hours on end. Yet, why the lack of diversity in his choices of singers, writers, and poets? It's like when white people say Taylor Swift is the best singer or Eminem the best rapper. Expand your racial comfort zone a bit why don't you. You might be pleasantly surprised.

[@juliat1526]

Maybe he has that & those are just his favs at the moment. Maybe assuming too much isn’t the way to go😌

[@Model_Roe]

I don't see anything wrong LoL 😂 he's entitled to his music preferences most black people would list black artistes as their fave artistes to listen to it shouldn't matter

[@lizziehan13]

Hey, one of your favourite things should be being grateful for the movie that put you on the map (no matter how terrible it was) instead of sh***ing on it every time someone asks you about it, it's called grace.

[@bellabana]

Why? Jacob was very young when he took the role and they took advantage of him by making him sign a 3 picture deal. He clearly didn’t want to do anymore after the first movie but was locked into the contract, so it’s understandable why he’s not so enthusiastic about kissing booth. Over the time of the 3 movies he matured and had grown as a person and as an actor.

[@Ethan-yz7lc]

The trend with younger Hollywood continues to disappoint. All these guys put on airs and portray themselves as suave and fashion consciences but really….. they just have a staff that helps to dress them. 😑

[@bellabana]

Someone reeks of sour grapes…. Jacob has always made been individualistic, it’s not new, the same with his choices in regards to fashion have always been his own. Clearly you don’t know anything about him.

[@J7nty]

True. He only adopted this fashionable quirky persona recently before he was basic

[@georgetsioup2884]

Many of you say how you like elordi But i doupt that his new movies will pass 100 million gross in b.o. audience sometimes is totally lying. As for elordi he tries so hard to prove that is "an artistic actor"make only arthouse works until he will see his Wallet empty!!😉

[@AnakinSkywalker_1858]

He 🏳️‍🌈?

[@dogbsas]

very? idk, same vibe.

[@vikkirayner8253]

He's an Aussie!!
