Actor Jacob Elordi has found himself at the centre of a police investigation after he allegedly assaulted a man. The Saltburn star reportedly became involved in an altercation with a radio star outside a hotel in Sydney over the weekend.
Police have since confirmed that they are investigating an alleged assault by a 26-year-old, for which they have seized CCTV footage. Joshua Fox, who appears on Australia’s KIIS FM approached the actor outside of the swanky Cleverly Hotel in Sydney and had hoped to question him, but things took a drastic turn. Manchester UK-born Fox, 32, had asked Elordi if he could fill a jar with his bathwater, referencing the infamous Saltburn scene. As per reports, Elordi was said to have been “offended” by the question before “getting in his face”. Fox claimed that Elordi, who is six feet tall, pushed him against a wall before his pals surrounded him.
Elordi is said to have demanded that Fox delete the footage of him being asked the question. Speaking to his co-stars, Fox said, “He’s in the beer garden, I don’t want to intrude on his personal space, I know how this works. I’m holding the Tupperware in one hand, my phone in the other so it’s clear I’m filming.” Fox admits he stopped filming after Elordi’s request.
