Euphoria star Jacob Elordi reveals his favorite video game
Euphoria alum Jacob Elordi shared his deep love for Kingdom Hearts on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast. The game is a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney characters. It was originally released for PlayStation 2, and as of early 2025, it has sold more than 37 million copies. The next entry in the Kingdom Hearts franchise is Kingdom Hearts 4, which was announced back in April 2022. However, there have been no new updates about the game since (via Men’s Journal).
While Elordi did not elaborate on why he liked the game so much, his fondness indicates that he certainly enjoyed it in his youth. Fans on the internet were thrilled to learn that Elordi’s favorite game is Kingdom Hearts. One fan commented, “Jacob Elordi picked Kingdom Hearts? That’s either the boldest choice in gaming history or he just thrives on childhood nostalgia. Either way, he clearly knows how to embrace chaos over clarity. We love to see it!”
A second fan declared, “This is the biggest green flag in Hollywood history.” A third fan wrote, “Man’s got taste.” Horowitz asked Elordi, “Were you immediately defensive, protective of Nate when the show came out, and the reactions were… I mean, it’s part of the design of the character. You should have a strong reaction to him. But did it catch you off guard?”
Elordi replied, “I think I was excited that it made some people sort of… because if you get a reaction from something that you play, that’s kind of the dream.” He added that when people tell him on the street that they are scared of him, he considers it an excellent compliment.
