Overview
- In a July 20 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Elordi said he spent two days in a coffin on set while wearing prosthetics and a fake tongue to film the show’s climactic coffin sequence.
- Elordi said a nonvenomous boa constrictor was used in the coffin and that the animal was docile, requiring him to nudge it to make the scene look threatening.
- He described the final season’s production as physically punishing, saying he endured roughly six weeks of staged beatings and prolonged pursuit scenes.
- Elordi confirmed he broke both of his heels earlier this year, a more serious injury than initial reports suggested, and said the injury affected his public appearances.
- The remarks have been widely reported by entertainment outlets and come as Elordi promotes Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars, which is scheduled to open on Aug. 28, with no reports of on-set disputes or formal investigations.
