Jacob Elordi is reportedly no longer in the running to serve as a juror at the Cannes Film Festival this year, and the reason appears to be a recent injury. According to industry buzz, Elordi broke his foot, which has made it difficult for him to take on the demanding role. While the official jury lineup has not yet been confirmed, his name had been circulating as a likely addition alongside other high-profile figures. Now, sources suggest organizers are looking for a replacement.
Serving on the Cannes jury is not just a ceremonial role. It involves attending screenings, events, and multiple appearances across the festival. Even with access to private transport, the schedule requires constant movement between venues, including the Palais and various hotels along the Croisette. A foot injury would make that level of activity difficult to manage.
This year’s jury will be led by Park Chan-wook, with the rest of the lineup still under wraps. Names like Demi Moore had also been rumored, but no official confirmations have been made so far.
Elordi has been having a strong run professionally, with major projects and awards recognition placing him firmly among Hollywood’s rising leading men. At the same time, he has been making headlines for his personal life, including recent reports linking him to Kendall Jenner.
The actor also has a history of on-set injuries. In past interviews, he has spoken about accidents ranging from burns during filming to earlier sports injuries that still affect him. This latest setback adds to that pattern, though it is unclear how serious the current injury is or how long recovery might take.
For now, his potential Cannes appearance seems uncertain. Until the official jury list is announced, the situation remains based on reports rather than confirmed changes.
