Jacob Elordi has always been a scene stealer for some reason or the other. Whether he is going on a rampage as Nate Jacobs in Euphoria or courting one's affections in The Kissing Booth, the man knows how to build attention. But his latest stunt? A full-on bearded look. This beard was revealed to the world at the Marrakech International Film Festival on November 29, 2024, accompanied by a sharp tuxedo and a slightly creepy frog brooch. Of course, memes popped out like wildfire. An X (formerly Twitter) user declared:
"Finally, living proof that all men do not look better with a beard thanks to Jacob Elordi."
Another person expressed their feelings using a clip from a horror movie that starred Elordi's co-star from Euphoria, Sydney Sweeney.
A user's post humorously suggested that the actor's latest look is scary, writing, "Every time I see a picture of Jacob Elordi's beard."
A user said: "Jacob Elordi went from a 9 to a 3 with a beard."
Another user wrote: "The way a beard makes or breaks a man is insane."
"Nothing could have prepared me for the picture", a user stated.
"It’s frankly hilarious how quickly Jacob Elordi tanked his image with that beard and hairstyle. He looks positively haggard," a user shared.
Jacob Elordi's bearded look
Elordi became a rejected handsome man when he arrived at the prestigious festival wearing the classic black tuxedo. But the real showstopper? A whimsical frog-shaped brooch pinned to his lapel and —of course — his new daring beard. The facial hair gave him a more rugged look, contrary to the charming boyish appearance he maintained for years.
The 27-year-old actor has not been shy about trying out some unordinary styles for his hair. The audience will vividly remember him experimenting with an 80s-style mustache – a move that wasn't quite popular but revealed that he dares. His latest style appears to follow that pattern.
What does it mean for his roles?
The question on everyone's mind: what does Jacob Elordi's beard mean? While the actor has remained tight-lipped, his evolving aesthetic might offer clues about his upcoming projects:
Deeper character exploration in Euphoria
Seeing Elordi in Euphoria as Nate Jacobs has delighted the audience with how far this young actor is willing to explore darker corners of humanity. Perhaps the beard can point toward an older or more thoughtful version of Nate in the third season? It is still a rather nice setting for the audience interested in further character development.

Breaking romantic stereotypes
Once gaining fame as the lover boy of The Kissing Booth series, Elordi has progressively diversified his roles. With future roles set into productions such as Frankenstein and Wuthering Heights, the beard is well-suited to signify his move towards these characters, which may be more dramatic and intense.
