Jacob Elordi has been asked about his first celebrity crush and the answer is Brad Pitt in the film Troy.

The Euphoria and Saltburn star appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon earlier this week where he engaged in a lighthearted game of ‘Firsts’.

Asked about his first concert Jacob said it was Eminem who he saw when he was 14 with his mum. “I wept like a baby when he left,” the Saltburn star noted.

When it came to his first celebrity crush it took Jacob a second to think about it but then answered: “Brad Pitt.”

Quizzed for more, Jacob confirmed it adding, “In Troy, that’s a beautiful man, there’s just no denying it.”

We also learned that Jacob makes coffee first thing in the morning and that he wanted to be a skateboarder when he grew up. The first Elvis song he heard was in Lilo and Stitch.

Jacob was on the talk show to promote his new film, Priscilla, in which he plays the legendary musical icon, Elvis Presley.

Previously with W Magazine Jacob revealed another celebrity crush was Orlando Bloom as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings.
