Jacob Elordi was caught engaging in a very Australian act while visiting a cafe near Byron Bay.

The Hollywood star, 27, originally from Brisbane, was reportedly seen making a very low-key visit to a local hotspot while visiting her native Australia this week.

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.

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: “Hahahaha, 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.”

It comes after Jacob recently suffered backlash after he and Margot Robbie were cast in an adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic Wuthering Heights.

In Emerald Fennell’s upcoming release, Jacob will take on the lead role of Heathcliff, while Margot will play his love interest Catherine Earnshaw.

However, the casting has proven divisive among fans, as many took issue with the two actors landing the lead roles.

Fans were baffled by the casting choice and noted that Catherine, who is no older than 19 in the novel, is being played by 34-year-old Margot.

Meanwhile, Heathcliff, whose character is about 40 years old at the end of the story, will be played by 27-year-old Jacob.

Some also took to social media to accuse producers of “whitewashing” the lead role of Heathcliff, who is described as “dark-skinned” in the novel and is the subject of racist abuse.

Some fans also criticized the decision to use actors who they felt “looked like they belonged on Instagram” in a period film set in the 19th century.

Others even questioned whether director Emerald, 38, who also directed Saltburn, had actually read Brontë’s classic novel.
