Hollywood Heartthrob Jacob Elordi, 27, Debuts Longer Hair and Scruffy Beard – Photos

Since gaining fame, Jacob Elordi has kept his facial hair minimal — until now. During a recent public appearance, the actor debuted longer hair and a beard, sparking mixed reactions from fans.

On November 29, 2024, fans got a glimpse of Jacob Elordi’s transformation over the past few months. The star attended the opening ceremony of the 21st Marrakech International Film Festival.

Elordi, serving as a jury member, also appeared on the second day of the tribute ceremony for Sean Penn in Marrakech, Morocco. The 27-year-old’s new look — featuring longer hair, a beard, and a mustache — quickly became a topic of discussion online, with some saying he looked like a completely different person.

One person, sharing an old gif of the actor after seeing his current image, remarked, “Bro doesn’t even look like the same person anymore,” while a shocked X user exclaimed, “Oh my god what happened to him- :(.”

Another commenter theorized, “[Having a] mustache makes you look very old than [a] beard—keeping both will make you look 30 [while] in your 20s.” An Instagram user echoed the sentiment, saying, “[He] aged himself about 30 years.”

Not everyone thought the beard was flattering. One person stated, “This is the first time I’ve seen a beard that doesn’t suit someone.” Another unimpressed user commented, “He looks like a cult leader.”
