Jacob Elordi was branded ‘super rude’ as he got into a tense altercation with a Venice Film Festival official at the world premiere of Frankenstein on Saturday.

In a TikTok video, the Euphoria star, 28, was filmed telling off a man fans described as a ‘bodyguard’ as he tried to sign autographs and pose for selfies.

The drama first unfolded when Elordi was seen chatting with the man before the actor declared: ‘I’m going to take a picture right here.’

He then leaned into a wall of onlookers for selfies, before snapping at the man: ‘Don’t ever tell me what to do!’ 

It is unclear what the official was saying to Elordi. 

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Jacob Elordi for comment and has yet to hear back. 

The fan who shared the video revealed that Elordi remained ‘so nice’ and ‘took photo[s] with everyone he can.’

In a TikTok video , the Euphoria star, 28, was filmed telling off a man fans described as a ‘bodyguard’ as he tried to sign autographs and pose for selfies 

However fans turned on the ‘pampered ‘ star for telling off the man for simply ‘doing his job.’

One fan wrote: ‘That was really super rude of Elordi’ while a second typed: ‘Ladies, I fear we have created a DIVA.’

Others wrote: ‘He’s there for your safety. He’s doing his job

‘I find it to be a little disrespectful towards an old man trying to do his job unless they have an understanding.

‘He thinks his ego will protect him like a force field… until it doesn’t!’

‘He’s just trying to protect him and do his job.’

Others supported Elordi, commenting: ‘Not really rude, it’s rude of the bodyguards. The star is the boss, not security

‘I think it was heat of the moment, he was trying his best to get to all the fans.’

On August 7, People was first to report that Elordi ended his on/off four-year relationship with Olivia Jade, the 25-year-old nepo baby of Lori Loughlin.

Before that, the Euphoria heartthrob enjoyed a 14-month fling with the 23-year-old nepo baby of Cindy Crawford ending in 2021.

Outlets reported that Guillermo del Toro’s $120M-budget big-screen remake of Mary Shelley’s 1818 Gothic novel earned a standing ovation of between 13 and 15 minutes, which made the cast and crew emotional inside the theater.

Jacob was seen wiping away tears as he embraced his Frankenstein team – Oscar Isaac, the 60-year-old Mexican filmmaker, and Mia Goth – as well as his relatives seated behind him.

The 149-minute film will compete for the prestigious Golden Lion on September 6 during the festival, before hitting US theaters October 17 and streaming on Netflix November 7.

Frankenstein – set in Eastern Europe in the 19th Century – currently has a 78% critic approval rating out of 27 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

Elordi has received the best reviews of his career as Frankenstein’s Monster (with a Yorkshire accent), and the plum part required up to 10 hours of prosthetic make-up application overseen by Alchemy Studios CEO Glenn Hetrick.

‘There’s so many different layers to the costume,’ the Narrow Road to the Deep North actor explained in his Variety cover story on August 20.

‘When he’s born, he’s wearing nearly nothing. His chest is open and his head is high. Then, as he starts to experience pain, as we do as a teenager, he starts to hunch his shoulders. And as an adult, he closes off.’

Jacob added: ‘It changed me fundamentally — changed the way that I approach performance and the way that I watch movies.’

Andrew Garfield curiously dropped out of the role of the Monster nine weeks before production ‘due to scheduling conflicts’ after replacing Guillermo regular Doug Jones, who had been attached as far back as the late nineties and early 2000s.

In May 2025 Denzel Washington lashed out an overzealous photographer as he attended the Cannes premiere of his movie Highest 2 Lowest.

The iconic actor, 70, was filmed pointing his finger in the face of one of the snappers and shouting ‘Stop it!’ during the dramatic exchange.

The incident unfolded when Washington appeared to tell off the photographer for tapping him on the arm as he walked the red carpet with co-star A$AP Rocky, 36.

The photographer was seen smiling and laughing while he was being chastised by the star – before grabbing the Training Day star’s arm once again.

An irate Washington then flung the photographer’s hand away and shouted ‘Stop it, stop it!’ before storming off. 

The Daily Mail contacted representatives for Washington for comment at the time and did not hear back.
