AceShowbiz - Jacob Elordi, the Australian actor best known for his roles in "Euphoria" and "The Kissing Booth," shocked fans when he appeared at the 21st Marrakech International Film Festival in Morocco on Friday, November 29 with a completely new look. The 27-year-old actor debuted a full beard and longer, shaggy hair, significantly different from his usual clean-shaven and side-swept hairstyle.

Elordi's dramatic transformation left the actor almost unrecognizable to some fans, prompting split opinions on social media.

While many fans praised his new look, with one X (formerly Twitter) user gushing, "Holy hell, we love beards," others were less enthusiastic. Some fans begged Elordi to shave, claiming he looked more handsome with his usual clean-shaven style. "Please go back to clean shave… you look more sexy and handsome that way omggg," one fan pleaded.

Elordi, a jury at the event, sported a stylish black tuxedo with thick shawl lapels and an eye-catching frog brooch at the event. He walked the red carpet alongside other jury members, including notable names like Andrew Garfield and Patricia Arquette. Amidst the glamour, it was Elordi's new look that stole the show, becoming a hot topic across social media platforms.

Speculations arose that the grooming switch-up might be for an upcoming role, possibly Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein," where Elordi is set to portray the iconic monster, or in "Wuthering Heights" opposite Margot Robbie. A fan echoed this sentiment by posting, "[J]ust so you know, this new look is for a movie role! it's all for the character, so no need to worry."

This isn't the first time Jacob Elordi has experimented with his appearance. In 2023, he notably rocked a thick mustache in Los Angeles and had some stubble during a Chanel campaign with Margot Robbie in October. His versatility in embracing different looks continues to make him an intriguing figure in the fashion and entertainment industries.

Whether you love it or hate it, one thing is clear: Jacob Elordi's new shaggy, bearded look has successfully captured everyone's attention, proving once again that the actor isn't afraid to push the boundaries of his personal style.
