This piece is part of EDGE's 2023 Rewind series. We're reaching into our archives and sharing some of our favorite stories from the past year.

Jacob Elordi is "not the guy you maybe think he is," gushes "Babylon" actor Diego Calva, who worked with Elordi for the upcoming Daisy Edgar-Jones Movie "On Swift Horses." He is better!

As reported by IndieWire, Minahan was on the red carpet when he shared with Variety his thoughts on working with Elordi and their "pretty hot scenes" together.

"It was so cool to work with him. He's obsessed with photography, he's obsessed with old plays," Calva said about the "Euphoria" star. "He loves Tennessee Williams, he loves Chekhov. He's not the guy you maybe think he is. He's such a cool actor. He's just amazing. I feel very proud."

He added, "You have to wait. But I think it will be a pretty cool movie."

Also starring in the film are Daisy Edgar-Jones, Sasha Calle, and Will Poulter. Based on a novel by Shannon Pufahl, the film follows a newlywed couple who are caught up in a love triangle following the Korean War.

"I feel very proud. It's my second lead character in an American movie," Calva said. "Daniel Minahan, the director, he directed shows like 'Game of Thrones,' 'House of Cards,' he directed 'Six Feet Under,' one of my favorite shows. And I'm acting with Jacob Elordi, with Daisy Edgar-Jones, with Sasha Calle also. Let's see what happens. And after that, go back to Mexico and make movies there."

Calva said he has "one foot in Hollywood right now."

"I was invited to this beautiful Hollywood party," Calva told IndieWire. "I plan to stay and keep working with people that I admire, that I dreamt to work with when I was a little kid. But at the same time, I want to try to build a career back in Latin America too, and to go to Mexico and tell stories that matter to me in a lot of ways."

We will be watching!
