Heathcliff, It’s Jacob Elordi! With Sideburns!

Out on the wily, windy moors—or, just the snowy Berlinale International Film Festival—Jacob Elordi has debuted another hair transformation. Gone is the impressively bushy beard that the Saltburn actor sported at the Marrakech International Film Festival in Morocco back in December: now, it’s all about the 17th century mutton chops.

Elordi was in Berlin to debut The Narrow Road to the Deep North, a forthcoming piece of prestige television in which he plays Dorrigo, an Australian medical officer who becomes a Japanese prisoner of war during World War II. Amid the harrowing experiences, he casts his mind back to a passionate affair with his uncle’s younger wife, Amy—played by Odessa Young. Already, Elordi is being lauded for a verve-filled performance.

But much of the chatter was also about his new look: Elordi showcased a serious set of sideburns, likely grown for his next part as the brooding anti-hero Heathcliff in director Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights adaptation. His mutton chops reach down to the curve of his jaw, and the rest of his dark hair is kept long and tousled. It’s surprising that this is even Elordi’s first try at the hairy sideboards, given his previous role as Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla.

Maybe almost as controversial as this new beauty look, too, was what Elordi wore on his feet at the daytime photocall: a pair of chunky Margiela County Tabis.
