Jacob Elordi’s Paris date night with Kendall Jenner took a tense turn on Monday when the actor confronted a group of paparazzi.
The 29-year-old Australian star and his 30-year-old American girlfriend were walking through the French capital when photographers began taking pictures of the couple.
Elordi, known for his role in Euphoria, appeared frustrated by the interruption and directly addressed the photographers.
“Wait, wait, wait. Can we just walk home?” the actor said, clearly irritated by the attention.
When the photographers continued following them, Elordi made a second appeal.
“Can we just walk home back to our hotel? No flash, just let us walk. Just let us go,” he pleaded, shaking his fist in frustration.

Despite the disruption, the couple appeared affectionate as they walked hand in hand through the City of Light.
Elordi was in Paris to support Jenner after she walked in the L’Oréal show during Paris Fashion Week.
The outing came just one day after he joined Jenner for another evening out in Italy, where she was attending events connected to Milan Fashion Week.
On social media, some users poked fun at the Brisbane-born actor, suggesting he should expect intense public interest while dating into the Kardashian-Jenner family.
“Dude doesn’t realise he’s dating a Jenner,” one user joked.
“This is new to HIM, she’s used to it,” another person commented.
Others, however, defended Elordi and praised him for appearing “protective” of Jenner.
The couple confirmed their romance in April after they were seen sharing a passionate kiss at the afterparty for Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance. They were reportedly introduced by Jenner’s younger sister, Kylie.

In the intervening months, their romance saw them visiting Hawaii and Japan together, with the pair even going viral on TikTok for holding hands in Tokyo.
Jacob has developed a reputation for being averse to the spotlight, even refusing to have a public social media presence.
‘My dream was to be an actor. I’m far too nervous to ask for more than that,’ he told CBS Mornings in February.
‘I’ve been given exactly what I wanted, and I see it exactly how I dreamed it. I live it how I dreamed it. So that’s about all I can handle.’
