Forbes 30 Under 30: Chappell Roan, Zach Bryan, Jacob Elordi, more stars make the list

The next generation of Hollywood stars are getting their flowers.
Forbes on Tuesday unveiled its annual 30 Under 30 list recognizing rising young talent in entertainment, sports, finance and more fields. To be eligible, a person must be 29 or younger as of the end of 2024.
In the 2025 Hollywood and entertainment category, Jacob Elordi ("Saltburn"), Ryan Destiny ("The Fire Inside"), Kathryn Newton ("Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania"), Noah Centineo ("To All the Boys I've Loved Before"), Marcello Hernandez ("Saturday Night Live") and Kiernan Shipka ("Chilling Adventures of Sabrina)" all made the list.
Elordi is coming off a big 2023 that included his role in the buzzy thriller "Saltburn" and a performance as Elvis Presley in "Priscilla." Destiny, meanwhile, was a breakthrough performer nominee at this year's Gotham Awards for "The Fire Inside"; Centineo is starring in the Netflix series "The Recruit"; Newton starred in the horror films "Abigail" and "Lisa Frankenstein" this year; Hernandez played Domingo in one of the most popular recent "SNL" sketches; and Shipka has kept busy with roles in 2024 films like "Longlegs," "Twisters," "Red One" and "The Last Showgirl."
Under the music umbrella, honorees included Shaboozey, Noah Kahan, Chappell Roan and Coco Jones, all of whom are nominees at the 2025 Grammy Awards. Roan, in particular, has experienced a surge in popularity this year with songs like "Hot to Go!" after releasing her debut studio album, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," in 2023.
