"Priscilla" star Jacob Elordi says he was once offered to audition for the role of the Superman but he turned it down.
The actor, a rising Hollywood star who became famous for his roles in "The Kissing Booth" series as well "Euphoria", plays Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola's new film that's꧙ based on Priscilla Presley's memღoir.
The actor, 26, told GQ that he turned down reaಞding for the sup👍erhero's role for an unnamed project as he found it too dark.
“Well, they asked me to read for Superman. That was immediately, ‘No, thank you.’ That’s too much. That’s too dark for me," 💯Elordi said in a cover story for the Man of the Year issue.
Asked if he has thought ab♋out being part of a superhero franchise, Elordi said, “Not particularly, no.”
"I've🐻 aꦺlways been told to say a rounded answer or my agent will get mad at me. ‘Anything can happen!’” Elordi said.
"And obviously anything can happen, but at this stage in my life, I don’t see myself having any interest in that. I like to ☂make what I would watch, and I get very restless watching those movies.”
He added, “And then ൲I’m supposed to finish it with: ‘Never say never!’”
Elordi said he is also wary of roles like "The Kissing Booth", the young-adult movie se🐼ries that helped him break 𒁃out.
"That one's a trap as well," Elordi said. "Because it can become 15 for them, none for you. You have no original ideas and you're dead inside. So it’s a fine dance. 🤪My 'one for them,' I've done it.”
