AceShowbiz - Jacob Elordi is said to have assaulted a reporter known for his social media stunts. The Australian-born "Saltburn" actor, 26, has reportedly been involved in an altercation outside a hotel in Sydney on Saturday, February 3 after he returned to his homeland having receiving a nomination for the AACTA Awards on the Gold Coast.
Jacob was at the Clovelly Hotel in the Sydney suburbs when a bust-up happened with KIIS FM worker Joshua Fox, 32, according to Australia's Sunday Telegraph. The newspaper said Jacob was reportedly approached by the host who started to quiz the actor, leaving him apparently "frustrated."
