FACT CHECK: Did Jacob Elordi Really Get Deported to Australia?
Jacob Elordi has recently starred in Wuthering Heights. The actor has also been appearing in award shows and events, while social media users are convinced about his deportation to Australia. Why so? A certain section of social media claims that Elordi is struggling with US visa issues.
While he has had visa issues previously, which have surfaced on social media time and again, the claims about his deportation are completely false. One post had also claimed that he was “deported back to Australia after U.S. immigration officials flagged issues with his visa status.” Moreover, the report also suggests that “he was detained briefly before being placed on a flight returning him to his home.”
Elordi hasn’t reacted to these claims, but he was also recently seen attending the 98th Academy Awards or Oscars 2026. Interestingly, Elordi was also nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his film Frankenstein. He attended the event with his mother Melissa Elordi. Jacob had previously revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that he had long promised to take his mother to the Oscars. “I am going to take my mum [to the Oscars]. I promised her when I was 15 that I would take her. So, I have to honour that.”
Despite the past visa-related issues, the actor did not have to move back to Australia. During an interview in 2019, Elordi had spoken about the success of Euphoria. He had stated, “I’d been in LA for about a year, I didn’t have any work and I had no money. I didn’t really have anywhere to live and I was in my car and on mates’ couches. My visa had like two weeks before it expired, so I was going to dip out and go back to Australia.” He revealed that getting a break in Euphoria helped him cope financially.
