Firstly, the author claims that Jacob Elordi doesn't know the meaning of rejection when he clearly does as evidenced by his response to a question about how he copes with it.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when Jacob Elordi claims that he doesn't know the meaning of rejection because why would he? This statement implies that his lack of knowledge on the subject makes it true, which is a logical fallacy. Additionally, in another part of the article, Elordi says that he doesn't recognize the word 'audition,' and when quizzed about it being part of the casting process, he expresses shock. This shows an ignorance or lack of understanding on his part regarding auditions and their importance in the acting industry. The third fallacy is a false dilemma when Elordi suggests to Rachel McAdams' doppelganger that she should give up pursuing her film career because she looks like a famous person. This implies that there are only two options for her, which is not true.
