"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."
"'Frankenstein' adaptations have become these filthy creatures, made from pieces of other bodies... 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."
"We still need to see him, at least I do, in another role that demands more from him."
Jacob Elordi is perceived as a rising star, but there are concerns about whether he is merely a sex symbol or a respected actor. Recent adaptations of 'Frankenstein' have sexualized the monster, making it easier for actors to portray. Critics argue that Elordi's role in 'Wuthering Heights' does not showcase his full range as an actor. There is a desire for him to take on more demanding roles to prove his acting capabilities beyond his current image.
