Hollywood heart-throb and movie star Jacob Elordi was allegedly involved in an altercation with a TikTokker and KIIS FM employee outside of a popular pub.
The altercation allegedly unfolded outside the Coogee Bay Hotel, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, at 3.30pm on Saturday.
KIIS FM radio employee Joshua Fox, 32, is understood to have approached the 26-year-old actor for comment outside the venue before an argument allegedly broke out, the Daily Telegraph reported.
NSW Police said an investigation had been launched after a 32-year-old was allegedly assaulted by a 26-year-old.

‘The man did not sustain any injuries,’ a spokesperson said.
‘Inquiries into the incident is continuing.’
Elordi, who recently starred in the blockbuster film Saltburn, was at the hotel and socialising for several hours before the alleged incident unfolded.
The Australian Hollywood star, 26, raised eyebrows earlier this month when he made disparaging remarks about The Kissing Booth movie franchise, which he starred in between 2018 and 2021, in his GQ Men of the Year cover story.
‘I didn’t want to make those movies before I made those movies,’ he told the publication, adding: ‘Those movies are ridiculous. They’re not universal. They’re an escape.’
But fans of The Kissing Booth have slammed Elordi online, calling him ‘ungrateful’ and ‘disrespectful’ to his former colleagues.
‘Jacob Elordi needs to understand that when you crap on a project like he has, he’s also crapping on his co-stars, the creators, and especially the fans,’ one user wrote.
‘Those movies are important to a lot of fans. Don’t dismiss them because you suddenly moved up a peg,’ they added.
Elordi is currently Down Under filming his role as Australian Imperial Force soldier Dorrigo Evans in Amazon Prime Video’s five-part adaptation of Richard Flanagan’s 2013 novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North
Another agreed: ‘I dislike actors who belittle their humble beginnings, where their careers began.’
The Kissing Booth was Elordi’s second feature film role and – thanks to record breaking binging by fans – he soon became a household name.
Elordi is currently Down Under filming his role as Australian Imperial Force soldier Dorrigo Evans in Amazon Prime Video’s five-part adaptation of Richard Flanagan’s 2013 novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North.
Elordi will next reprise his role as ‘psychopathic’ East Highland High School quarterback Nate Jacobs in the third season of Euphoria (featuring a five-year time jump), which began filming in December.
