Aussie actor Jacob Elordi loses it at fan in Tokyo in viral video, saying ‘don’t touch me bro’
The Euphoria and Frankenstein star has been captured snapping at a fan on the streets of Tokyo.
Jacob Elordi has been filmed snapping at a fan during a street encounter in Japan, with the moment quickly going viral online.
The Brisbane-born actor was approached outside a restaurant earlier this week when a man attempted to strike up a conversation and get a selfie.
“What up, chief?” the fan said as he reached out and placed his arm on Elordi’s back.

The fan later identified himself as Otavio Bittencourt, sharing the footage to Instagram with the caption, “Just wanted a picture chief’ along with a sad face emoji.
In the video, Elordi appears uncomfortable as the fan continues walking alongside him before the brief exchange ends.
The clip has since racked up over 2.4 million views on TikTok, with social media users defending the actor’s reaction.
“Completely normal reaction,” one person wrote.
“First of all, don’t touch people you don’t know. Second of all, let’s stop idolizing (sic) these celebrities,” another said.
Others focused on the tone of the exchange, and referenced Elordi’s Euphoria character, joking, “he became Nate for a sec”.
“Don’t touch people you don’t know. Don’t even touch people you do know like that. Weird,” another added.
Elordi is in Japan on holiday with his new girlfriend Kendall Jenner, with the pair spotted posing for photos with staff and diners at venues they’ve visited.
The 28-year-old has previously had tense interactions in public.
In December, he was approached by a photographer at Paris’ Gare du Nord station.
“Jacob, we love you,” the photographer said.
Elordi removed one of his earphones and responded, “You make it really hard for me to live.”
After the photographer repeated, “We love you,” Elordi replied, “I don’t love you,” adding again, “You make it really hard for me to live.”
At the Venice Film Festival, he was also involved in a heated exchange with an official attempting to move him along the red carpet.
“I’m going to take a picture right here,” he said while posing with a fan.
As the moment continued, he added: “Don’t ever tell me what to do.”
