Jacob Elordi Drops Out of Cannes Film Festival Jury Due to Foot Injury

Jacob Elordi has dropped out of the Cannes Film Festival jury due to a foot injury, Variety confirmed. The actor, who was invited to serve as a member of the competition jury, will not attend the event. Page Six Hollywood first reported that Elordi would be replaced as a juror after he broke his foot.

In addition to screening movies, jurors at the Cannes Film Festival traverse the Croisette for premieres, press conferences, photo calls and parties. This physical demand contributed to the context of Elordi's withdrawal, as the injury forced him to step back. Variety reported that the actor had been courted for the official jury but had to drop out.

The Cannes Film Festival is taking place from May 12-23 this year. Elordi's absence means the jury will proceed without him, following the confirmation of his foot injury as the reason. Variety's reporting highlighted that the injury prevented him from fulfilling the jury duties, which involve extensive movement around the festival grounds.
