Jacob Elordi, the Australian actor known for his roles in Saltburn and Euphoria, is reportedly under investigation by the police in his native Australia following an alleged assault on a radio producer. According to reports, the incident took place at a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
The producer, Joshua Fox, approached Elordi at the hotel and asked for some of his bathwater as a birthday gift for Jackie O, referencing a scene from Saltburn. Allegedly, Elordi became uncomfortable and requested Fox to stop filming and delete the footage. The situation escalated, with Fox claiming that Elordi pushed him against a wall with his hands around his throat.
In response to the incident, the New South Wales Police issued a statement confirming they are investigating the matter. The statement mentioned that a 32-year-old man reported being assaulted by a 26-year-old man outside a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs on Saturday afternoon, with no injuries reported.
Elordi, who has been receiving critical acclaim for his recent performances in Priscilla and Saltburn, is currently nominated for a BAFTA Film Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the latter, as well as for the Rising Star Award. He has upcoming projects including roles in Paul Schrader’s Oh, Canada and Guillermo del Toro’s Dr. Frankenstein, where he is set to portray The Monster.
