Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar questions Jacob Elordi’s acting range: “I think Jacob Elordi is going to be a big star—no doubt about that. But lately I’ve been wondering whether he’s just a sex symbol or a respected actor. […] It’s just that “Wuthering Heights” is very bad. And it’s not Jacob Elordi’s or Margot Robbie’s fault—they do what they can. It’s not even kitsch. What’s happening with Frankenstein adaptations is that they’ve become these filthy creatures, made from pieces of other bodies—it’s always been a horror story. But now they’ve added a kind of sexualised imagery to it; they’ve made the monster attractive. He has to speak in that deep, low voice, and that’s much easier than using a more expressive range. So, in that sense, “Frankenstein” is very convenient for an actor.” (worldofreel.com/blog/2026/4/16…)
