A-list actor thrills fans as he shops at local newsagency in tiny Australian ‘hippy’ town – and sports a VERY dressed-down look

by

Jacob Elordi excited his fans when he stopped by a newsagency in a small town in Australia.

The Australian actor stopped by Mullumbimby Newsagency and took a photo with two of the shop’s employees.

Mullumbimby is a small town in New South Wales, home to fewer than 4,000 people and known for its alternative, laid-back vibe. It’s located near the popular coastal town of Byron Bay, a favorite destination for celebrities.

Okay, let’s talk about effortless style! I spotted Jacob out shopping the other day, and he really nailed that relaxed vibe. He was wearing his go-to blue shirt, some comfy shorts, and sunglasses – a classic casual look. Honestly, he looked a little rumpled, but in a good way! It felt authentic and totally comfortable, which is always a win in my book.

The Mullum Newsagency had a special visitor today: actor Jacob Elordi! They announced his visit on their Facebook page on Wednesday.

Jacob grew up in Brisbane, Queensland, which is a fairly short two-hour drive from Mullumbimby.

This follows criticism of the actor’s behavior after he was seen flipping off photographers at Brisbane Airport over the weekend, with many describing it as rude and disrespectful.

The 28-year-old actor gave a rude hand gesture to the cameras, a stark contrast to the handsome and heroic character, Heathcliff, that he portrays in the upcoming movie, Wuthering Heights.

Fans were surprised and upset by the actor’s playful behavior, noting it contrasted sharply with the charming characters he usually plays. Many took to social media to express their disappointment.

People criticized his behavior when he wasn’t in a formal setting, with one saying he seemed arrogant and another claiming fame had changed him for the worse.

Someone pointed out the person’s body language was disrespectful and uncalled for, while another added that it wasn’t a good impression to give to fans.

‘Definitely no charisma,’ wrote another.

Jacob’s behavior at the airport was surprisingly different from the professional image he’s maintained throughout the film’s promotional events with Margot Robbie. During the press tour, they’ve been emphasizing the dark and romantic themes of their new movie, but his airport actions didn’t fit that carefully crafted persona.

In Emerald Fennell’s new film version of Wuthering Heights, Jacob plays the complex and troubled character Heathcliff, while Margot Robbie portrays Catherine Earnshaw.

Margot and Jacob play the doomed lovers in the latest film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which will be released in theaters on February 13th, perfect for a Valentine’s Day date.

Throughout the movie’s promotional events, the actors have openly displayed their connection and rapport while appearing on the red carpet.

Fans have noticed similarities between this current pairing and the way Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell acted cozy with each other in 2023 while promoting their movie, ‘Anyone But You,’ leading to accusations that this is a deliberate publicity strategy.

Jacob recently surprised people in an interview by saying he and his co-star shared a strong, mutual attraction while making the movie.

In an interview with Fandango, Ryan Gosling explained that he stayed within 10 meters of Margot Robbie at all times while filming, ensuring he was always nearby.

He explained that if you ever get to work with Margot Robbie, you’ll want to stay close to her on set – within a few metres – the whole time.

I find myself observing her small habits – the way she holds her teacup, how she enjoys her meals. I keep waiting for something to change, for a crack in the facade, but it never appears. She remains perfectly composed.
