The Scream star opened up to Yahoo's Off the Cuff series to compliment Elordi—and had high praise for a handbag that Elordi carries around.

Scream star Matthew Lillard finds Jacob Elordi absolutely irresistible—and, like, yeah... who doesn't?!

In an interview with Yahoo's Off the Cuff, Lillard admitted he's "obsessed" with the Australian star, calling him "freaking delicious" and even effusively praising his taste in handbags.


Sounds like someone's got a bit of a celebrity crush!

Lillard spoke with Yahoo about his new starring role in the latest Scream film, Scream 7.

One of the original cast members from the first 1996 film, Lillard reunited with fellow O.G. costars Neve Campbell, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, David Arquette and Courteney Cox for the film.

But it seems like Lillard's mind was far more focused on Lillard than his colleagues. Asked what his latest "obsession" is, Lillard said:

"Jacob Elordi. He's so freaking delicious."

Right. Same. But what does the married (to a woman, real estate professional Heather Helm) father of three see in Elordi?

“Because I do think he is like, so masculine, yet carries this female bag, and he looks divine, and I’m like, ‘Do I need that bag?’"
"That’s so not me. I have the same set of clothes for the last ten years. I literally have a shirt in my closet that I have had longer than I have been married.”

Now that's star quality. Such is the power of Jacob Elordi!

Naturally, fans online were all about Lillard's latest "obsession," especially given that he's a straight man unafraid to swoon over another man.







Elordi is, of course, one of the hottest stars around at the moment.

Having just appeared in Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights, he's rumored to be in talks to be the next James Bond in the upcoming 26th Bond film, directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight.

If it happens, Elordi will be the first Australian to play 007 since George Lazenby's turn in 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Lillard, too, is having a bit of a moment, hitting a second career chapter at the age of 56. In addition to Scream 7, he's recently appeared in films like Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, The Life of Chuck and the series Daredevil: Born Again and Cross.

He told Yahoo:

“Having been around a hundred years, I understand this too will pass. All of it ebbs and flows."
"I can appreciate it way more than when I was younger.”

He'll next be seen in the upcoming series adaptation of Stephen King's iconic novel Carrie.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
