Jacob Elordi recently went to the movie premiere of his new film Wuthering Heights in Los Angeles. Video showed him giving his gum to his mother. She held it in her hand while he took photos.
The video caught the attention of actor Adrien Brody. He is famous for throwing his gum to his partner before winning an Oscar for Best Actor. Brody commented on the post, saying it was "relatable."
Brody received some criticism for his gum toss. His partner, Georgina Chapman, said it was her idea for him to throw the gum away. Brody later mentioned that he forgot he was chewing gum. He agreed he should have swallowed it instead.
Elordi may have another chance to give gum to his mother. He has received his first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the Creature in Frankenstein. He faces tough competition from other strong actors nominated for their performances.
