Girls aren\u2019t the only ones weeping over Jacob Elordi. The Australian actor found himself in tears following the premiere of his new film<\/a> Frankenstein<\/em>, which received a 14-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.<\/p>\n Both Elordi and his director, Guillermo del Toro, were so moved by the enthusiastic response to the Netflix movie they wiped away tears. Elordi was also filmed hugging his co-stars Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n The film, an adaptation of Mary Shelley\u2019s 1818 classic novel of the same name, stars Elordi as the famed monster, who is sewn together and brought to life by Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Isaac). Goth plays Elizabeth, Victor\u2019s doomed childhood sweetheart, and Christoph Waltz plays Harlander, an arms dealer.<\/p>\n Speaking during a press conference over the weekend, Elordi said he gave the performance his all. \u201cIt was a vessel that I could put every part of myself into,\u201d he said (via Deadline<\/em><\/a>). \u201cFrom the moment that I was born to being here with you today, all of it is in that character. And in so many ways, the the creature that\u2019s onscreen in this movie is the sort of purest form of myself. He\u2019s more me than than I am.\u201d<\/p>\n Del Toro added of his desire to remake the iconic story, \u201cIt was a religion for me. Since I was a kid \u2014 I was raised very Catholic \u2014 I never quite understood the saints. And then when I saw Boris Karloff on the screen, I understood what a saint or a messiah looked like. So I\u2019ve been following the creature since I was a kid, and I always waited for the movie to be done in the right conditions, both creatively in terms of achieving the scope that it needed for me to make it different, to make it at a scale that you could reconstruct the whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n In August, Elordi told Variety<\/em><\/a> he spent up to 10 hours a day in the makeup chair to prepare to play Frankenstein\u2019s monster. \u201cThere\u2019s so many different layers to the costume,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen he\u2019s born, he\u2019s wearing nearly nothing. His chest is open and his head is high. Then, as he starts to experience pain, as we do as a teenager, he starts to hunch his shoulders. And as an adult, he closes off.\u201d<\/p>\n Frankenstein<\/em> arrives in theaters on Oct. 17 before heading to Netflix on Nov. 7.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
