Jacob Elordi has provided a hilarious - and much needed - update on filming for the third season of Euphoria.
Elordi is the talk of Hollywood at the minute, with his recent starring role in Saltburn captivating fans - though some got in a bit of trouble for picking it as their family film over the Christmas period.
As well as starring as Elvis Presley in Priscilla, the Aussie actor is clearly living the dream right now - and things are about to get even bigger this weekend as he is set to host Saturday Night Live for the very first time.
But before all of that, Elordi stopped by The Tonight Show to chat with Jimmy Fallon about Euphoria.

Elordi stars as the troubled Nate Jacobs alongside the likes of Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney in the hit HBO series, which first aired in 2019.
The second series dropped in 2022 but sadly, there's been quite the delay in filming for season three - something Fallon decided to bring up with the actor in person.
Fallon asked the 26-year-old when filming for Sam Levinson's series would resume, to which Elordi cheekily asked: "I don’t know, do you know?"
"I hope it’s soon, or they’re going to have to Benjamin Button me or something," the actor added.
"I’m going to have a bad back walking down the hallway, you know?"
HBO confirmed in November that the third season of Euphoria is excepted to air in 2025.
But with the second instalment releasing two years ago, it’s been rumored that season three will take place after a time jump.
Elordi added: "I’m assuming that we’ll have to go forward, otherwise it’s going to seem like a weird bit."
He then shared a story about Leonardo DiCaprio coming up to him in a club to compliment Euphoria after Fallon asked if he knew of any celebrity fans of the show.
"We’re in this club and there’s really loud music and everything and he’s like, ‘That shot in the first season…'” Elordi said.
"It’s him and I in the middle of this club just talking about camera angles."
Before his tragic passing at the age of 25 last year, Euphoria star Angus Cloud had high hopes for a third season of the show.
Speaking about the future of the show back in October 2022, Cloud sounded excited to get back into filming a third season.
"I can't wait to get back to work with everyone," Cloud told E! News. "I feel like it's been way too long. I just can't wait to see everyone and working on set again."
He said he was ‘definitely not sure what to expect’ for his character’s storyline after the cliffhanger ending, he said that ‘knowing [creator] Sam Levinson, it will be good’.
Cloud also said he had a ‘couple of projects’ in the works outside of the show that he couldn’t wait for ‘everyone to see’.
He added: "They're a little different than what I usually do, so it will be cool."
