Jacob Elordi swung by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week only to discover its host had a smelly surprise for himāa candle based on the bathtub scene from Saltburn.
For those who havenāt seen the film yet, it revolves around a strange and obsessive friendship between odd bird Oliver (Barry Keoghan) and wealthy popular kid Felix (Elordi) after they meet at Oxford. Felix brings Oliver home with him over the summer to his familyās estate, where Oliver becomes increasingly entwined in their lives.
Spoilers ahead!
There are several scenes throughout the movie that audiences found shocking, including one in which Oliver spies on Felix masturbating in a bathtub and then sneaks in after him, slurping up the water as it runs down the drain. As disgusting as it might be, it clearly made an impressionāand also led to a jarring number of candles sold online and purporting to be Jacob Elordiās bath water-scented.
Elordi told Fallon he had heard about these, thanks to Priscilla co-star Cailee Spaeny. But the host upped the game and actually had one ordered so that the actor could check it out for himself.
āDo you want to smell your own candle?ā Fallon asked. But Elordi didnāt just smell it ā he full on pretended to slurp it a la Oliver himself.
Howād the internet do with that move? About as well as one might expect.
The Euphoria actor went on to admit that this particular candle smelled ālike a washing room; like detergent,ā although presumably with so many of these bizarre candles popping up across places like Etsy, there are plenty of different scents to go around.
Do any of them actually smell like Elordiās bathwater? We may never know.
