“Police were told about 3.30pm on Saturday 3 February 2024, a 32-year-old man was allegedly assaulted by a 26-year-old man. The man did not sustain any injuries,” it added.
The Sunday Telegraph reported that Fox approached Elordi outside a hotel in east Sydney where the actor had been socialising. Elordi then became angry at some of the questions Fox directed at him, per the report.
Fox made headlines in Australia last year for crashing several “Married at First Sight Australia” weddings.
Elordi is back in his home country ahead of the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards (AACTA) on the Gold Coast, Queensland, where he has been nominated for his performance in Emerald Fennell’s “Saltburn,” in which he starred alongside Irish actor Barry Keoghan.
Elordi was also nominated for a British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) award for best supporting actor for his role as University of Oxford student Felix Catton in the film.
