Jacob Elordi

Elordi's casting as Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights was challenged because the novel describes the character as dark-skinned, foreign and subjected to racism, prompting Romani, South Asian and mixed-race interpretations.

Joshua Fox, a producer on the Australian programme The Kyle & Jackie O Show, stated that Elordi pushed him against a wall and grabbed him by the throat following a confrontation involving a joke about Saltburn bathwater and the recording of their exchange.

Priscilla, in which Elordi portrays Elvis Presley, sparked controversy over its depiction of the singer as a controlling, unfaithful and at times intimidating partner. Before her death, Lisa Marie Presley had written to Sofia Coppola criticising a screenplay she considered 'shockingly vengeful and contemptuous' towards her father.
