Has Jacob Elordi finally decided to leave his Nate Jacobs era? A full beard and grown-out hair on his face might be a good place to start
Of course, apart from the amazing lineup of films, something very strange emerged as the talk of the town at this year’s Marrakech International Film Festival in Morocco. Jacob elordi. Well, not that actually, but the full-blown beard that he debuted. Given her dreamboat status, first of all kissing booth star and then as of enthusiasm Main (anti)hero, not to forget his work in Oscar-nominated films saltburn (2023), all his efforts to maintain a low profile aren’t really working, and none of his fans are complaining.
However, at least when it comes to their pop culture relevance, one could say there has been a quiet period. And just as quickly, that too is now a thing of the past. It would be wrong to say that Jacob looked unrecognizable when he walked the luxurious red carpet – but even his oldest fans can’t remember the last time they saw him like this, if ever. No longer fitting into the role of a teen crush, Jacob sported a fully grown beard that was so unkempt as to appear intentional. This was accompanied by hair down the middle, which appears to be on the way to growing out. The internet has taken hold just like us and no one can figure out whether we are impressed or disturbed.
“Just no” might seem a bit harsh, but many people weren’t so happy with the incident. Some people were a little milder in their criticism, however, for example: “I like him clean shaven. His jawline is his best feature, and I don’t want him to hide it” and “I feel like that’s just His mustache has been trimmed.” Would do a lot for him”. However, some people went completely wild; case in point, these comments which read: “He looks like a gynecologist you’re a little uneasy about”, “That first photo “He looks 45” and “Looks a bit like Charles Manson”.
But never ignore his loyal fans who were still cheering for him from the sidelines. Some receipts from Internet fan mail threads read: “He looks like Christian Bale… 10/10 👍” and “Holy cow he looks like Paul McCartney from the 1970s. They have the same eyes.”
Keep in mind, this move comes amid discussions that he is being considered to lead the 2025 animated Batman film, the brave and the BoldHow safe is it to assume that this was an informal screen test on Jacob’s part?
