Jacob Elordi deactivated his Instagram, leaving fans speculating that he could be cast in the American Psycho remake.
Last month, Italian director Luca Guadagnino announced that he would remake the 1991 novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis.
The book was previously adapted to film in 2000 by Mary Harron and starred Christian Bale in the title role.
Shortly after the new film was announced, the 27-year-old Australian actor deleted his social media account, sparking rumors that he could play the lead role of Patrick Bateman.
Fans seemed quite enthralled with the idea of the Melbourne-born actor playing the yuppy serial killer.
‘He’s going to play the lead role in American Psycho, right?’ wrote a fan on X.
Others chimed in to agree, with one writing, “that’s what I hope lol.”
“The perfect role for him,” said another.

The deactivation of Jacob’s Instagram account has been “surprising” to many of his fans, as he is usually very active on the social media platform.
‘That’s amazing! Jacob Elordi has a very strong presence on social media. “I wonder what motivated the decision,” another X fan commented.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Jacob Elordi’s representatives for comment.
It comes just days after Jacob was caught engaging in a very Australian act while visiting a cafe near Byron Bay.
It comes just days after Jacob was caught engaging in a very Australian act while visiting a cafe near Byron Bay.
The Hollywood star, who hails from Brisbane, was spotted making a very low-key visit to a local hotspot while recently visiting her native Australia.
TikTok user Blayne Hull took to the platform to share a video which, according to him, showed the actor leaving the cafeteria.
However, one action in the video left fans around the world in shock, although Australian residents were not surprised to see him getting involved with the tradition.
In the clip, the man believed to be Jacob walked completely barefoot while inside the cafe and did not appear to have any shoes with him, sending Americans into a frenzy.
The actor, 27, was reportedly spotted making a very low-key visit to a local hotspot, with TikTok user Blayne Hull sharing a video of him walking barefoot through the cafe in true Aussie style.
In the comments section, some fans shared their surprise when one wrote: “Not wearing shoes in Australia still sends me over.”
Another said: ‘Barefoot??????’ while a third wrote: “He’s not even wearing shoes, you’re good.”
A fourth commented: ‘Wait, the not wearing shoes thing was serious?’ and another added: “If someone comes up to me without shoes on, I’m sorry, but I just can’t.”
However, the Australians were quick to set the record straight and said that it is a very common tradition that is seen in all the coastal cities of the country.
One wrote: “To the Americans in the comments: we wear shoes in the city, the beach/countryside is a free path for our toes.”
‘I love non-Australians who are totally freaked out by the lack of shoes. coastal city = shoe-free zone,’ another shared.
While a third added: ‘At the Club (Australia) we are all Fam (we don’t wear shoes).’
Other fans were quick to question whether the man was really Jacob, as his face was hidden under a gray hoodie and baseball cap during the low-key outing.
However, TikToker Blayne told a doubting fan: “Hahaha, for the beautiful life of my mother, that’s how it was.”
Blayne also cheekily captioned the video: “This morning I got beat for being the most handsome, mustachioed Aussie at my local coffee shop.”
