FRANCE — Australian actor Jacob Elordi has withdrawn from his position as an official juror at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, with representatives informing organizers that a sudden foot injury prevented him from traveling to the Côte d’Azur. The Euphoria star had been officially confirmed earlier in the year to join the festival’s competition jury, where he was scheduled to evaluate international films alongside other industry figures. Festival officials adjusted their plans after receiving notice of his withdrawal, which his team explicitly linked to physical limitations associated with the reported foot condition. HAWAII — Shortly after the announcement, entertainment outlet TMZ published photographs and eyewitness accounts placing Elordi in Kauai, Hawaii, on what appeared to be a tropical vacation with model Kendall Jenner. Images showed the pair sitting close together on a private beach next to a surfboard-style table and a bottle of rosé wine, with no other people visible nearby. Additional coverage documented a later outing in which Elordi drove a vehicle carrying Jenner, her sister Kylie Jenner, and actor Timothée Chalamet as they left an event tied to an NFL Rookie gathering hosted by businessman Michael Rubin. Social media users reacted to the images by closely examining the timing of the trip and Elordi’s apparent mobility, though neither he nor Jenner has publicly commented on their relationship or the festival controversy.
