The 'Saltburn' and 'Euphoria' star and his TV father Eric Dane linked up to talk vaping, Dante's Inferno, and dealing with sudden fame.
. “I’m on a bit of a noir kick,” said Elordi as he jotted down questions for Dane in his notepad. “I’ve been going through all the classics.” It’s been a while since Elordi, who last year starred in bothfound himself in Los Angeles, but by the time Dane appeared onscreen, it was as if no time had passed since they last played Cal and Nate Jacobs, a duo whose relationship is decidedly more toxic than their real-life counterparts.
ELORDI: I’m the exact same way. I remember thinking I was really lucky that I got to keep working throughout that. I don’t really understand unions, or business, or anything. For me it’s like, the work is your food. And I saw people starving. That was the hardest thing. I don’t understand the politics of it or people standing up on soapboxes and things like that. For me it was just like, “What about the people that just love to do that call time? I’m there, let’s go.
ELORDI: You told me that. And there’s this one other thing you told me that I’ve repeated so many times, but I’ve struggled with terribly. You said to me, “I cannot afford to worry about what anybody thinks of me because I will literally die.”ELORDI: I still hold that. But I wonder, do you still find it hard, as everything sort of gets bigger in this digital age, to not let that affect you?
ELORDI: I think that’s what makes you a great actor, though. And I mean that sincerely, because it’s also what makes you a human being. Acting is this strange thing where it’s like, the job is to be human. But then, the cost of it is that you go to this place that is not quite human.ELORDI: Tell me about it.
DANE: He does. And what a sweet, sweet young man. He’s just a good guy. And I love meeting the younger kids coming up, especially the ones that have a good head on their shoulders. It’s an anomaly to see a younger actor in this town who’s achieved a certain level of success but has an honest and soulful head on his body. He’s just a really sweet kid and we had a great time shooting this movie.
ELORDI: No. When you’re making a movie, everybody’s going to be like, “My job’s shit.” But you do get into bed, even when you’re smashed, even when you’re miserable, and you go, “Fuck it. At least I’m making movies.” ELORDI: I remember that song was playing on a loop for like, 12 hours. “This is the end, beautiful friend.” I actually feel like that was a version of Dante’sELORDI: I think if that went on televisions, people’s screens would’ve just caught fire. And it would’ve been infinite—just people dying on their couches, you know?ELORDI: Amen to that.
