Looks like Love Island star Jake Cornish is heading to Hollywood after landing a major film role.
The 25-year-old appeared on series seven of the annual dating show but quit the series alongside ex-girlfriend Liberty Poole.
Jake has stayed out of the spotlight following his villa exit, but recently announced he’ll be starring in the upcoming film Mr Hyde: The Untold Story.
‘Meet DI Jacobs,’ he wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of himself in character.
‘Over the moon to announce that I am playing such a big role in the new @mrhyde_2022 untold story film.’
He added: ‘Who knows ? New change of career. I’ve always wanted to be involved in films and here we are. An actor I can’t wait to get started on filming.’
Jake isn’t the only Love Island star securing big movie roles.
Winter 2023 star Olivia Hawkins recently shared that she’ll appear in the next instalment of the Fast and Furious franchise, Fast X.
I did a scene in the new Fast and Furious,’ she told former islander Toby Aromolaran on his Fancy A Chat? Podcast.
Toby asked: ‘Fast and Furious 10?!’
‘Yeah. In the party scene,’ Olivia confirmed. I don’t know when it’s coming out.’
She also explained that she shot scenes in London, not Rio De Janeiro, where filming for Fast X also took place.
Elsewhere, Love Island 2022 star Tasha Ghouri revealed that she came pretty close to starring in the highly-anticipated Barbie flick alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
She tweeted: ‘Fun fact I got to the final round of the Barbie film audition as a dancer but didn’t get the job – filming was at same time as LI [Love Island], crazy how the universe works.’
Love Island is available to stream on ITVX.
