Jacob Elordi has deactivated his Instagram, leaving fans speculating that he might be cast in the American Psycho remake.
Last month, Italian director Luca Guadagnino announced he would be making a new take on the the 1991 novel of the same name written by Bret Easton Ellis.
The book was previously adapted to film in 2000 by Mary Harron and starred Christian Bale in the lead role.
Soon after the new film was announced, the 27-year-old Australian actor deleted his social media account, leading to rumours he may play the lead of Patrick Bateman.
Fans seemed quite taken with the idea of the Melbourne-born actor playing the yuppy serial killer.
‘He’s going to play the lead in American psycho isn’t he?’ wrote one fan on X.
Others chimed in to agree, with one writing, ‘that’s what I expect lol.’
‘Perfect role for him,’ said another.

Jacob’s Instagram account deactivation has been ‘surprising’ for many of his fans since he is often very active on the social media platform.
‘That’s surprising! Jacob Elordi has such a strong presence on social media. I wonder what prompted the decision,’ another fan on X commented.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Jacob Elordi’s representatives for comment.
It comes just days after Jacob was caught getting involved with a very Australian act while visiting a coffee shop near Byron Bay.

The Hollywood star, who hails from Brisbane, was spotted making a very low-key visit to a local hotspot while visiting his native Australia recently.
TikTok user Blayne Hull took to the platform to share a video which he claimed showed the actor walking out of the coffee shop.
However, one action in the video left fans around the world in shock, though Australian residents weren’t surprised to see him getting involved with the tradition.
In the clip, the man believed to be Jacob walked completely barefoot while inside the café and didn’t appear to have shoes with him, sending Americans into a frenzy.

Taking to the comments section, some fans shared their shock as one wrote: ‘The no shoes in Australia still sends me.’
Another said: ‘Barefoot??????’ while a third penned: ‘He’s not even wearing shoes, you’re good.’
A fourth commented: ‘Wait the no shoes thing was serious?’ and another added: ‘If someone came up to me with no shoes I’m sorry but I simply cannot.’
However, Aussies were quick to set the record straight as they told how it is a very common tradition seen in every coastal town around the country.
One wrote: ‘For the Americans in the comments – we wear shoes in the city, beach / country is free toes lane.’
‘I’m loving the non Aussies totally freaked by the no shoes. beach town = shoe free zone,’ another shared.
While a third added: ‘In the Clurb (Australia) we all Fam (don’t wear shoes).’
Other fans were quick to question if the man was really Jacob, as his face was concealed beneath a grey hoodie and a baseball cap during the low-key outing.
However, TikToker Blayne told one doubting fan, ‘Haahaha on my mother’s beautiful life it was.’
Blayne also cheekily captioned the video: ‘I’ve been beat for the best-looking, mustached Aussie in my local coffee shop this morning.’
