The latest celebrity Instagram account to be deactivated was that of Jacob Elordi. Elordi is a breakout star who has appeared in Euphoria and The Kissing Booth. The decision did not go unnoticed by his fans, and the lack of activity has caused an uproar in speculation about what might be happening with this rising star.
Elordi is known for being actively online, so it left many fans puzzled and, naturally, led to a lot of speculation. Might it be a massive career move or just a chance for Elordi to withdraw into the shadows?
Viewers on X (previously Twitter) came up with wild guesses, from Jacob Elordi possibly being cast in American Psycho, through musical ventures.
Here’s a look at how fans are responding to the mysterious deactivation.
“He's going to play the lead in American Psycho, isn't he?”
Fan @eternalcumslime set the bar high for wild speculation when they suggested that Jacob Elordi might be stepping into a role as intense as American Psycho's Patrick Bateman. This has caused fans to get excited about Elordi embracing his dark, dramatic role in the upcoming remake.
“Imagine if he announces a new single next week and becomes a main pop boy…”
@imnotpopbase said that Elordi is going to drop a single, meaning there is a twist in terms of music. Fans were excited by this angle, because they will be able to see how the actor could transition into music.
“He is about to release his own Reputation.”
Ali Malone @folkred12 joked that perhaps Elordi was doing a "Taylor Swift" thing, teasing a big return or new project. Fans are wondering if his deactivation is just the calm before the storm, getting ready to make waves in Hollywood.
“IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NICKI.”
The comical twist to the message: @BARDIVERSACE said if anybody must leave social media, then let it be another.
The random shout added a little comedy to it and was received by fans who decided to weigh in for the cause of Nicki Minaj's social presence.
“Jacob Elordi stepping away from Instagram might be his way of taking a breather from the spotlight.”
@Somdutt995311 speculates that the break might just be for self-care. Fans believe with Elordi on the cusp of international fame, deactivating his Instagram is a desperate step toward a balance and sense of seclusion.
“That's surprising! Jacob Elordi has such a strong presence on social media.”
Fan @AkiraKalai was surprised that the young man wasn't on the platform. For many, Elordi's digital life has formed a part of his public life.
Why did Jacob Elordi deactivate his Instagram account?
After deactivating his Instagram, Jacob Elordi's fan base and observers have started speculating what could be happening. In that sense, Elordi probably wishes to get out of the intense scrutiny that fame imposes on its subjects, especially with him being a breakout actor.
He had previously said that social media is too much to handle and almost wished he had quit acting. Deactivating his account may give him the privacy he needs and a chance to focus on upcoming projects without being disturbed by public attention.
The timing also shows that Elordi deactivates himself for possibly a new role that requires extensive method preparation. Due to his recent trajectory into Hollywood, where he has played complex characters, this gap may just be a strategic dive in order to build his persona for an upcoming role.
Is a new career chapter on the horizon for Jacob Elordi?
Since his career began to boom, many have been anxious to see what he does next. Elordi first gained stardom in The Kissing Booth, but majority of his fan traction came with a lead role on HBO's Euphoria. Elordi's performance in the role of Nate Jacobs for Euphoria is enough for him to be seen as a critically acclaimed actor who can take up diverse roles.
For his role in 2023, he portrayed Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola's Priscilla. The movie received many good reviews regarding its subtlety with the handling of the iconic musician and the relationship that he shared with Priscilla Presley.
He also played the role of Felix Catton in Saltburn, a film on issues of privilege and obsession, thus showcasing his versatility. For this role in the thriller, he was nominated for a BAFTA for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
Looking ahead, Elordi has a few promising projects ahead. He is going to play Frankenstein's Monster in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein adaptation.
He will also be seen in the miniseries The Narrow Road to the Deep North, where he plays Dorrigo Evans, an Australian doctor and war veteran, who is dealing with past traumas.
