What's up? This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, bringing you the hottest stories right now. Jacob Allorty is set to make the 2026 Academy Awards a family event by bringing his mom as his date. The actor earned a best supporting actor nomination for his role in Frankenstein, and he promised her years ago he'd take her if he made it big. He first made that bow when he was just 15 years old. Growing up in Brisbane, Australia, Jacob was the youngest of four kids born to Melissa and John Allorty. His dad immigrated from the Basque region between France and Spain at age eight, with only $8 in his pocket. Melissa raised the family while John worked as a house painter and even built their home over 13 years. Jacob shares a super close bond with his mom, who he calls the most loving person he knows.

She volunteered at his school lunchroom just to spend time with him. His dad shaped his strong work ethic, though John sometimes mixes up Jacob's movies, asking about that kissing booth one. At first his parents worried about the tough odds in acting and tried to be realistic. But Jacob's confidence won them over. He asked why he couldn't be that one in a million. They backed him completely, and now they're thrilled with hits like Euphoria, Salt Burn, and Priscilla. Even so, they get invested in his characters. Mom freaked out seeing him as Elvis and got upset over his intense role in Euphoria.

Dad knows to separate the actor from the part, staying supportive through it all. D-N-N is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description. Press play. Put your head down. The sound is already there. S-O-L-I-Solipillow.com.
