Frankenstein's monster actor Jacob Elordi passed the time in the SFX seat by whipping out a custom-shell Steam Deck

Well, that's one way to pass the time during the 10-hour makeup routine.

I know it shouldn't really be a factor, but learning that an actor or other celebrity is a PC gamer makes me take notice. I remember the furore when everyone discovered Henry Cavill was a PC gamer, for instance. So I have certainly noticed Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, because Jacob Elordi, the actor who plays Frankenstein's monster in the new Netflix movie, likes to pass the time by gaming on his Steam Deck.

In the Netflix promo material showing Elordi transforming into 'The Creature' for the role, we can see him busting out a Steam Deck to pass the time on, in addition to checking his phone and reading. Apparently, the transformation into Frankie's creature took 10 hours, so bringing a Deck to the makeup/SFX seat was certainly prudent.

The Steam Deck in question has a black-and-green housing shell, which threw me off at first. But you can see that it's a Steam Deck from the shape, button positions, and so on. Plus, there are pictures of him holding a Valve carry case. The distinctive orange on Elordi's carry case means it's likely the OLED model too.
