For Jacob Elordi, the final season of “Euphoria” was a seemingly never-ending death chase. Until, of course, his character Nate finally died — buried alive and then bit by a rattlesnake.
While on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with guest host (and fellow “Euphoria” star) Colman Domingo, Elordi was asked about filming the gruesome scene. When Domingo brought up his once-loathed character’s death, the studio audience let out a sad “aww.”
“Thanks,” Elordi said to the audience with mock annoyance. “Finally, after eight years of all of you saying, ‘Fuck Nate, kill Nate, Nate’s a piece of shit’ — yeah, I read your tweets — now you’re sad. Hmm.”
In Season 3 of “Euphoria,” Nate — once the antagonistic high school bully — was chased by a sketchy businessman and his henchmen after an investment in Nate’s real-estate venture went awry. Episode after episode, Nate was brutally beaten by goons.
“I think Sam brought me back to torture me,” Elordi said of series creator Sam Levinson. “It was like, six weeks of me just getting beat by a seven-foot guy. I was just running the whole time.”
