Everyone in Hollywood gets their start somewhere. Long before making a name for himself in movies and TV shows like<\/a> “Euphoria,” “Saltburn,” and “Frankenstein,” Jacob Elordi first appeared in Disney’s blockbuster\u00a0“Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise \u2014 but not as prominently as you might expect.\u00a0His earliest film role was as an uncredited extra in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” the fifth installment of the series<\/a>.<\/p>\n “People are always trying to find me in the movie and there’s ‘screenshots of me in the movie,'” the actor said in a GQ<\/a> interview in 2020. “I was in the background of the movie. I wasn’t in the movie, I wasn’t credited, I wasn’t billed, I didn’t audition, I was an extra. And it was one of the best things I’ve ever done in my entire life. And you’ll never find me.”<\/p>\n The film does not appear on Elordi’s\u00a0IMDb page, although\u00a0Wikipedia\u00a0lists him as one of the redcoat British soldiers. The redcoats were stationed on the island of Saint Martin, the location where Will Turner’s (Orlando Bloom) son Henry (Brenton Thwaites) heads in search of the Trident of Poseidon, which he intends to use to\u00a0break the curse on his father, allowing him to step on land again.<\/p>\n Read more: Actors Who Got Grossed Out Kissing Their Co-Star On Screen<\/a><\/p>\n Bec, Liam, and Cal sitting on a couch, with Rooster standing behind in “Swinging Safari” – Becker Film Group<\/p>\n What Jacob Elordi considers to be his first true film role is a far cry from a multi-million dollar Disney-produced blockbuster sequel. “I don’t know if it counts, but the first movie I ever made was for Stephan Elliot and it was called ‘Flammable Children,’ in which I played a lifeguard,” he continued in the GQ interview. “Again, not much of a performance, just kind of standing there.” Released in 2018, the project would be renamed “Swinging Safari,” which sees Elordi play the lifeguard Rooster.<\/p>\n Set in 1970s Australia, the quirky comedy follows three families in the small town. Their life is interrupted when a blue whale turns up on the beach, putting the town in the international spotlight, all while the parents explore new sexual outlets and tween Jeff Marsh (Atticus Robb) films their day-to-day lives. Rooster, meanwhile, is romantically involved with the Marsh family’s teen daughter, Bec (Chelsea Glaw).\u00a0While Elordi considers it his first movie appearance, it wasn’t his breakthrough role<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you enjoyed this article, sign up to our free newsletter<\/a> for the biggest movie and TV news delivered straight to your inbox.
