Jacob Elordiis letting his worries disappear under the hot Italian sun… showing off his six-pack alongside his girlfriend Olivia Jade Giannulli – while some in the US are criticizing his recent casting in Wuthering Heights.
The actor and his girlfriend are on the Italian coast with her family… and clearly he enjoyed the refreshing blue water of the Mediterranean – repeatedly launching himself off the boat and into the waves.
He’s dripping wet in most of these photos… flaunting his six-pack in just a pair of navy blue shorts, while his better half seemed to be mostly hanging out on the shore and on the ship.
She’s sunbathing in a lilac two-piece bikini… brushing her hair and stretching next to the man on the deck.
There’s not a lot of PDA here – after all, the OJG family is on the ship with them – but there are plenty of flirty moments between the two on vacation.
The two seem carefree on their tour of Europe…so it looks like the controversy surrounding Elordi’s upcoming turn as Heathcliff from the classic novel “Wuthering Heights” isn’t getting to him.
ICYMI… Elordi was cast alongside Margot Robbie for the film adaptation of the book – gearing up for a UK shoot in 2025. The cast has people up in arms because the book describes Heathcliff as a “dark-skinned gypsy” who was abandoned as a baby in Liverpool, a well-known slave port at the time the novel was written.
So people always assumed Heathcliff was black – which JE obviously isn’t. It is worth mentioning that the author of the book Emily Brontë never comes out and says it specifically… but still, some people aren’t happy with the casting.
Apparently, Jacob isn’t letting the outrage get to him… enjoying his free time before shooting the movie next year.
