You've likely noticed that Jacob Elordi is a tall man: 6 feet 5 inches, to be precise. Perhaps it is subsequently unsurprising that when he steps out with a small purse, it looks even smaller.

Jacob + small bag is a combination that has previously taken the internet by storm. "currently obsessed with Jacob Elordi’s bag collection like i owe him an apology i wasn’t really familiar with his game," one viral tweet read.

As a result, GQ took a moment to ask Jacob the most pressing question on everyone's mind: Where did the bags come from?

“I think it’s a story for other people,” Jacob said when asked about why he carries bags everywhere. “It’s not so deliberate. I lose stuff a lot."

"Where I grew up, we had a culture where you wore bum bags, fanny packs," he continued, noting his Australian upbringing. "When I leave home, I need to have a certain thing from every category with me in case I get bored — a book, a notepad, rolls of film, a camera, a pen. My mom just bought me a pocket watch that I keep to Australia time, so I always have that.”

“I never bought a bag,” he added when asked about how he began his collection. “Maybe that should be something that is exposed about Hollywood. All these people think, I wish I had that lifestyle. I mean, yes, to get them for free — that’s great. What a great lifestyle. But people that have all this money aren’t spending it. You just get sent stuff. It blows my mind.”
