Popular Australian actor Jacob Elordi has been in the news headlines recently, first for his role in Frankenstein, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination and now for a tense interaction with paparazzi. On December 10, the actor exchanged words with a photographer who adamantly followed him to take his picture amid his travels at the Gare du Nord station.

As seen in the video circulating on social media, the actor voiced his frustration after a photographer expressed his admiration, saying, “Jacob, we love you.”

The Euphoria actor responded:

“You make it really hard for me to live when you do this.”
He continued, “I don’t love you.”

Jacob Elordi was wearing an all-black outfit with white high-top sneakers, a baseball cap, and sunglasses.

He added before entering an elevator.

“You make it really hard for me to live, all of you. You make it really hard for me.”

More details on Jacob Elordi’s opinion on fame

Jacob Elordi’s rise to fame began after he featured in the popular Netflix Kissing Booth franchise. Since then, he has appeared in several big projects, including his famous character, Nate Jacobs, in Euphoria.

In a recent appearance on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter Podcast, Jacob Elordi discussed his struggle with fame and how it has changed his way of living.

“I woke up into a completely different world. The internet is insane. It was so frightening. I could feel the internet manifesting in the real world.”

He added:

“Like, I would go out to my coffee shop, and all of a sudden I felt like I was in The Truman Show.”

Being famous is not all bad; in a screening of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, Jacob who earned a Golden Globe nomination for his role, shared a feel-good moment.

“And then something happened when I was in Venice. I was there with my sister and my mom and my dad, and during that ovation, I saw them standing behind me, and I saw my agent, whom I’ve known for ten years now,” he recalled.

The Saltburn actor added:

“And I kind of looked around, and I realized I was exactly where I was supposed to be my whole life. And every day since making that movie, in this industry I’ve felt a kind of great calm that I’m in the right place, I’m meant to be here.”
