Even while the star appeared upbeat upon his departure, many have speculated that this might be because he was secretly happy to leave Euphoria behind in response to fan complaints regarding the character’s trajectory.
Viewers didn’t hold back when sharing their thoughts on social media, with one saying, “I watched Euphoria last night.” I suppose Jacob Elordi is at last free of that terrible program. Guy is quite talented. It was a waste of a show. Moving on to bigger things. He was already producing amazing movies both before and during.
“Jacob Elordi really wanted f***ing out of Euphoria,” others said.
“When Jacob Elordi realized his character was dying, I know he was ecstatic.”
The truth is that Nate just passes away to make sure Jacob Elordi doesn’t have to return or return for another season. His death has no significance or impact because his character does nothing and has no storyline.
“I could tell Jacob Elordi was done with Euphoria and didn’t want to be Nate anymore.”
“I’m sure Jacob Elordi is relieved that this show is over.”
“We should be as happy as Jacob Elordi is that he is no longer under contract with Euphoria!”
In a recent reflection on his character’s destiny, the Saltburn actor joked that it was a wonderful experience to see his decisions come back to haunt him.
In an HBO post-show discussion of the landmark episode, Jacob stated, “Nate was someone who has made so many mistakes and so many dark choices.”

Astonished viewers vented on Twitter over the show and the iconic character’s harsh departure; one even joked that rising star Jacob is “finally free” from the program.
“It’s cool to see it all come to what it’s come to,” he continued.
“It was really nice, actually – it was quite peaceful in there,” Jacob said, adding that he didn’t feel cramped when filming the coffin scene.
“My shoulders were touching the side, they couldn’t move my arms, then they would drill the lid on it and it would get dark,” he said, describing the sensation of being inside the coffin.
After Sunday’s broadcast of the well-liked HBO drama, Jacob recently referred to the agonizing murder of his Euphoria character Nate Jacobs—buried alive and bitten by a snake—as “a cool way to go.”
In the midst of a disastrous attempt to recover a debt he owed, his character was brutally killed.
Gangster Naz (Jack Topalian) had put Jacobs in the coffin with a breathing apparatus as a pipe since he owed him a lot of money.
Nate was supposed to be kept in the coffin for three days while his wife Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) attempted to raise money, but a rattlesnake got down the pipe and bit him to death.
The actor, who has been connected to model Kendall Jenner, claimed that Sam Levinson, the show’s creator, “wanted to shoot it with a real snake,” adding to the already claustrophobic circumstances. “Snakes were rattling, which was really alarming when you are locked in a box,” he stated.
The actor claimed that while he spent “minimal time in the coffin,” stunt workers on set emphasized safety during filming and concentrated on giving him a steady supply of air.
During production, Jacob claimed that the boa constrictor used in the scene was more “sluggish” than frightening.
He described the snake as “super cute; he was really cuddly.” He was somewhat drowsy, but it was wonderful that he kind of simply sidled up next to me. He was a drowsy snake. To get him to come up, I had to give him a gentle prod. And that was all.
After participating in 23 episodes over the course of the show’s three seasons, the Kissing Booth star described his departure as bittersweet, saying, “This show is a massive part of – not just my career – but my life.” “It’s been incredible, and I’m really honored to be a part of this.”
