American Jet Ski Instructor Goes Viral as 'Jacob Affordi'

An American jet ski instructor has captured the internet's attention due to his striking resemblance to Australian actor Jacob Elordi. Sam Anderson, who works as a guide at Tybee Island Watersports on the coast of Georgia, has been dubbed 'Jacob Affordi' by social media users who see him as a budget version of the 'Euphoria' star.

Anderson regularly appears in the company's online content, often performing Baywatch-style re-enactments. One Instagram clip, which has garnered over four million views in a week, shows him in slow motion with an 80s rock soundtrack, grabbing his radio, putting on a life vest, and jumping onto a jet ski before motioning for customers to follow. The caption reads: 'POV: someone asks if our jet ski rentals are guided'.

Viewers have responded with a range of nicknames, with one commenter noting that falling for jet ski instructors on family vacations is a teenage rite of passage. The name 'Jacob Affordi' particularly stuck, prompting a video response from Anderson's colleague, who waved a dollar bill mockingly while Anderson snatched it and shook his head.

Some users have even suggested Anderson looks better than the Queensland-born actor. In a recent development, Anderson has begun exploring modeling, sharing photos from a beach photoshoot that highlight his signature smile and tanned physique.
