Add ARY News on Google AAResize Following a severe foot injury, actor Jacob Elordi has abruptly withdrawn from the prestigious Cannes Film Festival competition jury. Just days before the festival—which runs from May 12 to May 23—his plans to serve on the panel were completely derailed by the accident.
Rising to fame through The Kissing Booth and HBO’s massive hit Euphoria, Jacob Elordi was expected to play a significant role at this year’s festival. The actor’s recent streak of high-profile projects includes a nomination for an Oscar for his performance in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein last October, as well as a co-starring role alongside Margot Robbie in Wuthering Heights. He is also currently filming the highly anticipated third season of Euphoria. For the busy actor, who has enjoyed an incredible run of consecutive major roles, the fractured foot is a frustrating setback.
The injury was first reported by Page Six on May 4, and later confirmed by Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. Elordi’s spokesperson did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Given his meteoric rise in Hollywood and the distinct honor of being selected for the Cannes jury, the news of his sudden departure has startled fans and industry insiders alike.
