Jacob Elordi caused a stir at the Venice International Film Festival over the weekend when a new video surfaced showing the actor snapping at an event staffer while taking selfies with fans.
The footage captures Elordi crouching on the red carpet, camera in hand, as a staff member appears to ask him to move along. The actor’s response?
“Don’t tell me what to do.”
Clearly, Jacob was determined to give fans a memorable moment, no matter what the staffer instructed.
Fans and Critics Split
Social media reactions were immediate and divided.

The clip has sparked heated debates online, with fans weighing in on celebrity entitlement versus professional boundaries.
