Hollywood hit the jackpot with fresh faces when Euphoria burst onto the scene, showering Tinseltown with future A-listers. While Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya are stacking up roles like holiday buffet, their co-star Jacob Elordi is wading deep into diverse waters, juggling the next season of Euphoria, a Frankenstein project, and a Wuthering Heights adaptation. But in a plot twist, no one asked for, his unexpected but ever-dramatic bearded makeover has fans begging for an instant rewind following unanimous red flags.

Jacob Elordi recently stepped out in style at the 21st Marrakech International Film Festival in Morocco in a bold new look, flaunting a face full of a bushy beard while attending Justin Kurzel’s crime drama, The Order’s premiere. Elordi was a juror at the festival alongside Luca Guadagnino and Andrew Garfield. According to Vogue, the Bottega Veneta brand ambassador slipped into the label’s tuxedo jacket and trousers in an open-collared shirt, accessorized with a lizard brooch from their Spring 2025 collection pinned to the lapel.

Jacob Elordi walked the red carpet in patent black boots with a cheeky curve on the toe. While he is not exactly known for sticking to one style lane, it is anyone’s guess if this grooming twist is just a casual experiment or a sneak peek at his next big role. Could it be a nod to Nate Jacob’s evolution in Euphoria season 3? A Frankenstein flourish for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming project? Or perhaps a twisted non-traditional touch for Wuthering Heights’s Heathcliff under Emerald Fennell?

Weeks After Severe Outrage, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ Gets an Exciting Update

Whatever the motive may be, fans are not exactly clapping their hands for this one.

Jacob Elordi has his sleeves full because of a stack of new projects on the way. With Euphoria’s time jump, fans know they will no longer encounter the teen spirits of the characters or the stars. Although some of his upcoming projects have already been met with sharp criticism from fans, none matched with the frustration following the debut of his new avatar. 

Many fans could not resist bringing in the no-shave November jokes for a field day. While some actually welcomed the fresh look, cheering for his style game.

While some urged the outlets to hit “delete” on the snap, others could not help but highlight the Jesus-in-a-suit vibe. Naturally, his fans were split with half playing fashion police, and the other half declaring it not that bad a look. Despite the classic fanbase chaos, the mysterious look had hearts racing with curiosity skyrocketing since neither could pin down the real reason behind the style switch.
