Per recent reports, Australian actor Jacob Elordi, who had a little-known role in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and is more well-known for his roles in Netflix’s The Kissing Booth and HBO’s Euphoria, is currently undergoing a police investigation.
The reason for this investigation is that Elordi reportedly assaulted a radio producer, Joshua Fox, at the Clovelly Hotel in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.
The situation was first reported by Australia’s Daily Telegraph.

Elordi was reportedly approached by Joshua Fox, who is a radio producer for The Kyle & Jackie O Show on KIIS FM. Fox made a reference to Elordi’s movie Saltburn, asking if he could have some of his bathwater for Jackie O for her birthday. Elordi is said to have asked Fox to stop recording and delete the footage.
This is when things reportedly escalated.
“I refuse to because I feel uncomfortable right now and this is the only evidence,” Fox said of the incident on The Kyle & Jackie O Show. “And then Jacob kind of just flips and he kind of pushes me against the wall and his hands are on my throat.”
Per a statement from NSW Police to Variety, “Officers attached to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command are investigating after a man was allegedly assaulted outside a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs…Police were told about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, 3 February 2024, a 32-year-old man was allegedly assaulted by a 26-year-old man. The man did not sustain any injuries.”
The report concluded that inquiries were continuing.
