This clip from Stephan Elliott’s 2018 comedy Swinging Safari captures Jacob Elordi’s first acting role in a feature film. He plays Rooster, a grinning beach bum steeped in the raunchy, listless energy of 1970s Australia.

Now a Hollywood leading man, Elordi showcases the irreverent machismo that would become part of his screen persona. Even the dazzling new invention of the Betamax is quickly forgotten when Elordi comes knocking on the window with a cheeky grin.

Swinging Safari follows the coming-of-age story of an aspiring teenage filmmaker who observes the eccentric goings-on in his small Australian beach town. It features an all-star cast, including Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce, Radha Mitchell and the late Julian McMahon.
