During an appearance onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy FallonFriday, the Australian actor talked to hostJimmy Fallonabout the drama, in which he plays high school football star Nate Jacobs alongsideZendaya.

Asked about famous fans of the show, Elordi told Fallon, 49, “the biggest one is Leonardo DiCaprio. Which sounds like a crazy name-drop and it is a crazy name-drop.”

Revealing how he found out that theTitaniclegend was a fan of his work, Elordi said, “He came up to me in a club one time when I was much younger.”

The actor went on to share that DiCaprio was praisingEuphoria’scamera work and a shot featuring Elordi in the first season, while they were in the middle of the noisy venue.

Fallon then referred to DiCaprio as “one of the greatest actors of all time,” which Elordi agreed with. “He’s the GOAT (Greatest of All Time)," he said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Elordi discussed when filming of the next season ofEuphoriawould be filming, noting that he didn’t know but hoped it would be “soon” or “they’ll have to Benjamin Button me or something.”

“I’m going to have a bad back… walking down the hallway,” the actor also joked.

Opening up about the nominations for best supporting actor and rising star, the actor told Fallon he was honored to be listed alongsideRobert De NiroandPaul Mescal.

“I can’t believe it, I admire these people,” Elordi said.

It’s a busy week for the actor, who, in a recently released promotional video forSNL,made light of any nerves he might have as he prepares to make his hosting debut onSaturday Night Livethis weekend.

In the clip, the actor stood at the top of theSNLstaircase but struggled to make his way down, despite encouragement fromcast membersMarcello Hernández andPunkie Johnson.

“Hey man, you good?” Johnson asks Elordi to which he says to himself in response, “They all make it look so easy.”

Despite his best efforts, Elordi only reaches the stage when his shoe gets caught on a mat and he falls down the stairs and is left mumbling, “I’m good, I’m good,” while lying face down on the floor.
