Actor Jacob Elordi, famous for his role in the successful series “Euphoria”, is in the eye of the media storm after starring in a tense encounter with a fan in Japan.

The event, which occurred during a trip he took to Tokyo with model Kendall Jenner, was recorded in a video that quickly surpassed one million views on Instagram.

The controversy broke out when user Otavio Bittencourt saw the artist on the street and tried to get his attention to ask for a photograph.

Not getting an immediate response, the young man chose to put a hand on his back. This action caused visible annoyance from Elordi, who turned around stiffly and firmly snapped: “Please don't touch me, brother.”

After the crossing, the actor continued on his way with his companions without granting the request.

The incident sparked an intense debate on social media. On the one hand, numerous Internet users defended the position of the protagonist of “Wuthering Heights”, arguing the importance of respecting the physical space and privacy of celebrities, pointing out that touching a stranger is reckless.

On the other hand, detractors described the actor's attitude as arrogant, maintaining that he should be more grateful to his audience.

Faced with the repercussions, the fan himself clarified that his intention was never to disrespect, but rather to capture the moment after having crossed paths with it by chance.

The episode once again brings to the table the blurred boundaries of interactions between fans and Hollywood stars in public spaces.
