Loved 'Saltburn' Stars Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan? Checkout These 8 Daring and Sexy Roles
Shawn Laib READ TIME: 9 MIN.
Jacob Elordi - "The Kissing Booth" franchise
Elordi has become a sex symbol amongst the social media collective, and why wouldn't he be? His smile, dark hair, and charming physique make him a traditional Hollywood heartthrob, and this started during the casual, carefree rom-com "The Kissing Booth." Elordi plays Noah Flynn, a traditionally popular high school movie character who dates the female lead (played by Joey King). These movies aren't going to be put into a historical vault anytime soon, but they are decent rom-com fare that is easily digestible to watch over a weekend.
Barry Keoghan - "The Batman"
Barry Keoghan might get his ultimate breakout role soon as the Joker in "The Batman" franchise. He plays the Dark Knight's most famous opponent during a quick cameo scene but will surely feature even more in future movies starring Robert Pattinson. Playing Joker is very difficult, considering how many actors have portrayed the crazy clown in the past. Heath Ledger, Joaquin Phoenix, and Jack Nicholson all turned in acclaimed performances in previous iterations of the DC villain, but Keoghan might have some unique magic up his sleeve.
Jacob Elordi - "The Mortuary Collection"
One of Elordi's earliest roles was as a character in the horror anthology film "The Mortuary Collection." The frightening film gave Elordi some outrageous material to work with before he went on "Euphoria," as his character undergoes a variety of bodily scares and violent outcomes. Queer fans who love horror films surely would enjoy checking this one out, and hopefully, Elordi will appear in this genre again soon!
Barry Keoghan - "The Killing of a Sacred Deer"
Barry Keoghan turned many heads in the obscure drama "The Killing of a Sacred Deer." Keoghan plays a teenager with a mysterious background opposite big names such as Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell. Keoghan's reputation as an actor who fits in very well in offbeat psych projects was definitely bolstered by this acclaimed 2017 film.
