Jacob Elordi With High Quality UK Replica Tag Heuer Watches: “My Mum Called Me ‘The Prince Of Cool’”

“Somewhere in the world, there’s a scary wax version of me,” Jacob Elordi, the 24-year-old Brisbane-born star of Euphoria tells me between sips of mineral water. We’re sitting on the upper deck of the best TAG Heuer replica watches yacht, which is bobbing in the Monaco Marina, and it’s the morning before the principality’s Grand Prix. “There’s a whole process. You work with the Tussauds team in LA. It’s an out-of-body experience. My mum says I need my own action figure, but that’s something I’m avoiding.”

Elordi’s face, with its disconcerting cheekbones and Clark Gable eyebrows, looks as though it was sketched into life by Singer Sargent. His lithe, muscular 6ft 4 figure does, in fact, brag the perfect proportions of a Ken doll and he’s wearing some double pleated linen slacks from The Row, a pair of fringed oxblood penny loafers from Celine, and tucked into his trousers is a close-cut white T-shirt. He’s dressed a bit like Marlon Brando’s character in A Streetcar Named Desire, which I have a sneaking suspicion may be his intention.

“I’m obsessed with actors and I always have been. [As a kid] I would study them like they were football cards,” he says animatedly. “I really respect people like Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Mark Ruffalo, the list is quite literally  endless. Brando in On the Waterfront, Steve McQueen in Papillon, James Dean in Giant. I could go on and on.”

Something I learn about Elordi during our very short time one-on-one (we’re in Monte Carlo for his appointment as the face of 1:1 UK fake TAG Heuer’s storied Monaco wristwatches, and he’s in demand) is that he’s very keen to be perceived as much a serious actor as a sex symbol, which anyone who’s watched HBO’s hit series Euphoria – in which he plays troubled jock Nate Jacobs – will know is a relatively easy sell.

“You never expect for something to be seen by everyone on the planet [like Euphoria was]. Acting is a personal craft and celebrity is its antithesis,” he says in his soft Australian burr, its edges hardened by the past half decade living in Hollywood. “The fame stuff makes it hard to do the work, so I try to remain as private and guarded as I can to protect this ‘muse‘. I want to protect it at all costs, because it’s very fragile and delicate.”

Elordi has 13.3 million followers on Instagram. His account is peppered with polished shots of him wearing suits from Burberry and Boss, in addition to a host of brooding magazine covers with V Man, GQ Australia and Man About Town. Elordi looks out the window towards the glittering waters of the Riviera when I suggest that it must be a challenge to stay private when so many millions want a piece of him.

When I’m trying to deal with losing a loved one in a film, I can’t be thinking ‘does my left eye look wonky like joe36 said it did?’

“I don’t use social media personally, but I use it for work purposes,” he says, returning his gaze in my direction. “I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been online and seen things, but if I’m looking at millions of people’s opinions I’m going to be a wreck. I’m going to be a shell of myself. If I’m thinking about Joe-next-door’s opinion of my eyes when I’m trying to deal with losing a loved one in a film, I’m going to be thinking ‘does my left eye look wonky like joe36 said it did?’ That’s completely detrimental to the performance, I think.”

During our (slightly surreal) shared perfect replica TAG Heuer Monaco watches weekend, Elordi comes across as playful and comfortable in his own skin. At the end of the race, which was marred by wet weather but saw Sergio “Checo” Pérez take the podium spot, he jumped around so vigorously in top TAG copy watches’ hospitality booth that the floors felt as if they were about to give way. He was chatty company at the various dinners and he cut a confident if slightly introverted figure at the opening night cocktail party at the glitzy new Maybourne Riviera hotel.

“I try to take all of this in my stride.” He smiles, gesticulating around the room, where other journalists and cheap super clone watches people are eagerly waiting to meet him. “I try not to take it too seriously. It feels like a nice pat on the back… a nice congratulations or something. Yes, it’s peculiar. It’s very strange, but I wake up and go with it.” He pauses. “I assume it’s going to feel strange till the day I drop off the perch, but I’m very, very grateful for it all.”

Swiss made TAG Heuer replica watches has a habit of signing among the coolest, most hardworking actors as its ambassadors (Ryan Gosling is the face of the Carrera, Patrick Dempsey is a long-standing friend of the brand and Steve McQueen originally repped the Monaco back in the 70s), and judging by the seriousness with which Elordi speaks about his “craft” (no Hollywood-grade waxwork to see here), he seems like a savvy future bet on the part of the brand.

“My work is meditation for me.” Elordi replies, when I ask how he copes with success so young. “That’s my religion, that’s my prayer. It’s my be-all and end-all, it’s everything. If I’m reading a play or making a film. That for me is a release, it’s cathartic. That’s my meditation. It’s what I feel most centred in and at peace, when I’m working. Outside of that I’m figuring it out. But that’s who I am. My work is me, you know.”

Dame Judi Dench keeps a penny she found before a particularly high pressure performance as a good luck charm and Colin Farrell wears a lucky belt he was given by his father. Elordi, on the other hand, has a thing for fake watches for sale. Oh, and dice. “I’ve had watches for pretty much my whole life. Nothing crazy. I like having them, and other totems and things in my pockets. I usually have a marble or a die or a deck of cards in my pocket, and a watch is just an extension of that. Something to play with. I like things that are weighted as they make me feel like my feet are on the ground.”

Does he collect replica watches wholesale store? “I’m not someone who seeks out super rare pieces,” he says, rubbing his hands together lightly, a box-fresh all-black limited edition TAG Heuer Monaco fake watches for men glinting stealthily on his wrist. “I’m not a collector. I like what I like. Things mean more to me if they‘ve been given as a gift or have sentimental value, which the Monaco definitely has, because it’s got such a rich history.”

Originally released in 1969, the Monaco was the first water-resistant square-faced automatic chronograph ever made. The AAA replica watches was worn by Steve McQueen in the 1970 film Le Mans, and quickly became synonymous with a specifically petrol-infused form of masculine style. Does Elordi feel the pressure to live up to The King of Cool’s legacy? “It’s a great honour to be the face of the Monaco watch.” He says earnestly. “My mum called me last night, she saw me on the TAG Heuer site and she called me ‘The Prince of Cool‘.” He pauses, smiling. “It’s a really humbling experience for me.”
