LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jacob Elordi has debuted a striking new look, swapping his clean-cut style for a thick beard and longer hair during an appearance at the Marrakech International Film Festival on Friday, November 29.

The 26-year-old actor turned heads with his transformation, leaving many fans and onlookers taking notice of his dramatic style shift.

Jacob Elordi's new look steals the spotlight at Marrakech Film Festival

Jacob Elordi, known for his role in 'Euphoria' and 'The Kissing Booth', attended the festival in a stylish suit, complete with a multicolored frog brooch on his lapel. However, it was his facial hair and the middle part of his longer hair that drew most of the attention, making him nearly unrecognizable to some.



 

It remains unclear whether this bold new look is a personal style choice or a transformation for an upcoming role. Elordi has several exciting projects in the pipeline, including playing Heathcliff in a controversial new adaptation of 'Wuthering Heights' and portraying Frankenstein's Monster in a retelling of the classic horror tale.

Despite the darker characters he’s set to play, it doesn’t seem like either of these roles would necessarily require the actor to sport facial hair—unless, of course, Frankenstein’s Monster requires a beard transplant.

While Jacob's new appearance is certainly generating buzz, he’s also been spotted spending time with his girlfriend, Olivia Jade Giannulli. The couple were recently seen enjoying a European vacation, sharing moments on a yacht, though it’s unclear whether Olivia Jade is a fan of Jacob's scruffy new look or prefers him clean-shaven.
