Aussie-born actor Elordi made his feelings known during a somewhat heated moment with a photographer trying to get images of him.
The “Euphoria” star tried to stress that he was not in the mood, noting that he was only with his dogs and had no plans to get out of his car to be photographed.
“Well, there’s no point in doing this. I’m not going to get out of the car. You are not going to get a photo of me,” he can be heard saying in the audio shared by Deuxmoi on Instagram.
He continued, “So there’s really no point. I’m not the one. I’m not with my girlfriend. I’m driving with my dogs, like it’s just not the day.”
When the photographer asked Elordi if he would at least “give him a couple of shots,” the actor doubled down, saying, “No, because it’s not my thing. It’s not me. You’ve got the wrong one.”
He then told the paparazzi to go and find other stars who are interested, as he is going to “spend his whole life” not letting people take unwanted images of him.
“So there’s people that you can go and get and make your cash, but I’m just not the one,” he added.

The Actor Had A Tense Confrontation With Paparazzi In Paris During An Outing With Kendal Jenner
In a video shared on social media on Monday, September 28, Elordi could be heard asking photographers to give him and Jenner some space as they made their way back to their hotel.
“Wait, wait, wait, can we just walk home?” the actor asked before repeating his request, per Page Six.
As the photographers continued snapping pictures, Elordi asked, “Can we just walk home back to our hotel?”
He also urged them to stop using camera flashes, saying, “No flash, just let us walk. Just let us go.”
The 29-year-old was seen holding Jenner’s hand as he attempted to shield her from the cameras. The model, 30, covered her eyes and face with her hands while Elordi put on sunglasses to protect himself from the flashes.
Social Media Users Are Divided Over Jacob Elordi’s Reactions
The footage prompted different responses from viewers, particularly because Jenner comes from one of the world’s most recognizable celebrity families.
Some users questioned why Elordi appeared surprised by the attention, considering that his girlfriend has been photographed by paparazzi for much of her life.
“Dude don’t realize he’s dating a Jenner,” one commenter wrote, while another remarked, “This is new to HIM, she’s used to it.”
Others, however, defended the actor, arguing that being famous does not mean celebrities should have to tolerate photographers following them continuously.
Supporters praised him for trying to shield Jenner and for asking the photographers to stop using flash.
Kendall Jenner Has Long Preferred To Keep Relationships Private
Although Jenner has grown up in the spotlight, she has repeatedly expressed a preference for keeping her romantic relationships away from public scrutiny.
In a 2019 interview with Vogue Australia, the model described her personal connections as “special and very sacred.”
She also explained why public attention could complicate a relationship.
“Bringing things into the public makes everything so much messier,” Jenner said. “A relationship is only meant to be between two people, and the second you make it the world’s business is when it starts messing with the two people mentally.”
Jenner has previously dated high-profile figures, including musician Bad Bunny and basketball player Devin Booker, while generally keeping details of those relationships away from the public, per Page Six.
Elordi and Jenner have also kept their connection relatively private, despite repeated sightings together and growing speculation about their future.
Jacob Elordi Once Snapped At A Fan In Japan Who Touched Him
The recent paparazzi encounters are not the only times Elordi has appeared uncomfortable with the attention surrounding his celebrity status.
In June, the actor made headlines after reportedly snapping at a fan in Japan who touched him, telling the person, “Don’t touch me, bro,” according to Page Six.
The incident prompted another discussion about personal boundaries and whether fans sometimes mistake an actor’s public profile for permission to approach or touch him.
Elordi has also spoken about his relationship with fame and his reluctance to embrace social media.
During a February interview with “CBS Mornings,” he explained that acting had always been his dream and that he did not want to demand more attention than the career had already brought him.
“My dream was to be an actor,” he said. “I’ve been given exactly what I wanted, and I see it exactly how I dreamed it. And I live it how I dreamed it. So that’s about all I can handle.”
