Actor Jacob Elordi will no longer serve on the Cannes Film Festival competition jury. A foot injury has derailed his plans to participate in the event. Elordi recently starred in Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, and the new season of Euphoria.
Jacob Elordi, known for his recent roles in Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, and the upcoming season of Euphoria, was set to join the competition jury at the Cannes Film Festival. However, a foot injury has forced him to withdraw from the role, shattering his plans for the prestigious event. The festival is scheduled to take place in late May 2026 in Cannes, France, a location known for its coordinates at approximately 43.5528° N, 7.0174° E. Elordi's absence marks a last-minute change to the jury lineup, which typically features prominent figures from the film industry. Organizers have not yet announced a replacement. This development comes amid high anticipation for Cannes, where classic films like ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ and ‘The Fast and the Furious’ are also lined up for special screenings. Elordi's injury highlights the physical demands on actors even in non-performing roles at major festivals.
