The 2025 Venice Film Festival included Jacob Elordi and the cast of Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein walking carpet and the movie debut that was met with a standing ovation. But Elordi is under fire after a TikTok video went viral after his encounter with one of the festival’s staff members.
In the video, he’s seen getting into a heated argument with the official on Saturday as he was trying to greet fans and take photos.
“I’m going to take a picture right here,” Elordi told the official. “Don’t ever tell me what to do.”
The original poster of the TikTok video captioned it, “and he was so nice, took photos with everyone he can.” But fans couldn’t help but comment that Elordi was out of line with the staff member and was acting rude.
@mancrushdaily and he was so nice, took photo with everyone he can, he is so sexy and nice please😮💨🥺 #actor #man #crush #celebritycrush #celebrity #handsomeboy #hot #viralvideo #jacobelordi #boy #foryou
“Poor guy he was just doinghis job,” said one commenter.
“I find it to be a little disrespectful towards old man trying to do his job unless if they have an understanding which may be a friendliest reminder while being occupied by fans,” said another.
Another chimed in, “He could’ve at least addressed the bodyguard in a more civil manner. “I understand that you’re trying to do your job, and I appreciate that, but please allow me to do mine.”
Some commentors saw both sides of the situatuon, with one adding, “For people that don’t know, Jacob is right. Body guards often work for teams and not the celeb directly, and try to control them. If there was danger the guard woulda moved him by force.”
Elordi stars as the Creature, the tragic being brought to life by Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) in Frankenstein. The movie will have a limited theatrical release on October 17, 2025, followed by a global release on Netflix on November 7, 2025.
