The actor Jacob Elordi tense moment with staff was caught on camera while he greeted fans on the red carpet.

September 1, 2025: Actor Jacob Elordi found himself in the middle of an unexpected controversy at the Venice Film Festival this week. The Euphoria star was caught on camera exchanging heated words with a festival official during the world premiere of his latest film, Frankenstein.

A Tense Red Carpet Moment

The incident unfolded as Elordi stopped to greet fans and sign autographs on the red carpet. Video footage circulating online shows the actor smiling and interacting with fans before a festival official appeared to intervene. Elordi was then seen exchanging tense words with the staff member, visibly frustrated before eventually moving on.

Fans Defend Elordi

Many fans quickly came to the actor’s defense, praising him for taking time to connect with supporters despite the formalities of the high-profile event. Social media reactions largely sided with Elordi, with several users suggesting that the official may have been attempting to rush him along due to time constraints.

Spotlight on Frankenstein

The heated exchange, however, hasn’t overshadowed the buzz surrounding Frankenstein, which made its world premiere at Venice. The film, one of the festival’s most anticipated entries, marks another major step in Elordi’s rising Hollywood career.

Though neither Elordi nor the Venice Film Festival has publicly addressed the confrontation, the moment has already become one of the most talked-about highlights of this year’s festival season.
