Jacob Elordi confrontation: Audio emerges of run-in with Saltburn star

Audio has emerged of an alleged confrontation between Hollywood heart-throb Jacob Elordi, 26, and KIIS FM staffer Joshua Fox, 32.

The altercation allegedly unfolded outside the Clovelly Hotel in Sydney's eastern suburbs at around 3.30pm on Saturday.

NSW Police said an investigation had been launched after a 32-year-old was allegedly assaulted by a 26-year-old.

Audio from the run-in was played on Monday morning's episode of The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

In it, video producer Fox approaches Elordi with an empty jar and asks the actor if he could fill it with his bathwater and 'send it to the studio' for host Jackie 'O' Henderson, who Fox claimed is 'a huge fan of the movie Saltburn'.

The request is a reference to an infamous scene in Elordi's runaway hit film, in which another character drinks Elordi's used bathwater.

'You're kidding,' an apparently-annoyed Elordi replies.

'Are you filming?' he then asks, with Fox confirming he is.

'Can you not man, please?' says Elordi.

Co-host Kyle Sandilands claimed Elordi compelled Fox to delete the footage, however he was later able to retrieve it from his recently deleted files.

In the audio, Fox's request was politely made, and Fox seemed to quickly comply with Elordi's request to cease filming. 

Addressing the run-in on Monday's show, Jackie said, 'When Josh heard that Jacob was at one of the hotels nearby on Saturday afternoon, he went down there. He didn’t want to invade his privacy so he didn’t go inside the hotel, he waited outside.' 

'Apparently [Fox] thought it would be funny to give him this Tupperware container that said "Jacob’s bathwater" written on it and Jacob didn’t love that.'

Daily Mail Australia can reveal police have seized CCTV of the confrontation and alleged assault.

Mr Fox is yet to make an official statement, but is set to address the altercation on The Kyle and Jackie O show on Monday morning. 

'The man did not sustain any injuries,' a NSW Police spokesperson said.

'Inquiries into the incident is continuing.'

Elordi was allegedly involved in an altercation with a TikTokker and KIIS FM employee outside of a popular pub on Saturday

Elordi was at the hotel and socialising for several hours before the alleged incident unfolded. 

The Australian Hollywood star, 26, raised eyebrows earlier this month when he made disparaging remarks about The Kissing Booth movie franchise, which he starred in between 2018 and 2021, in his GQ Men of the Year cover story.

'I didn't want to make those movies before I made those movies,' he told the publication, adding: 'Those movies are ridiculous. They're not universal. They're an escape.' 

But fans of The Kissing Booth have slammed Elordi online, calling him 'ungrateful' and 'disrespectful' to his former colleagues.

'Jacob Elordi needs to understand that when you crap on a project like he has, he's also crapping on his co-stars, the creators, and especially the fans,' one user wrote.

'Those movies are important to a lot of fans. Don't dismiss them because you suddenly moved up a peg,' they added.

Elordi, who recently starred in the blockbuster film Saltburn, was at the hotel and socialising for several hours before the alleged incident unfolded

Elordi is currently Down Under filming his role as Australian Imperial Force soldier Dorrigo Evans in Amazon Prime Video's five-part adaptation of Richard Flanagan's 2013 novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North

Another agreed: 'I dislike actors who belittle their humble beginnings, where their careers began.'

The Kissing Booth was Elordi's second feature film role and - thanks to record breaking binging by fans - he soon became a household name.

Elordi is currently Down Under filming his role as Australian Imperial Force soldier Dorrigo Evans in Amazon Prime Video's five-part adaptation of Richard Flanagan's 2013 novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North.

Elordi will next reprise his role as 'psychopathic' East Highland High School quarterback Nate Jacobs in the third season of Euphoria (featuring a five-year time jump), which began filming in December.

Daily Mail Australia contacted Clovelly Hotel for comment.
