- Elordi, 25, says man, 61, has made multiple unwanted advances at him
- He told court man has left notes and flowers at his home on multiple occasions
- Elordi said man was accused in 2007 of breaking into the home of Nicolas Cage
Jacob Elordi received a temporary restraining order from a Los Angeles court Monday against a man who he claims has been stalking him.
The Euphoria actor, 25, told the court that a 61-year-old man named Robert Dennis Furo has made repeated unwanted advances against him in recent weeks, TMZ reported after reviewing court docs.
Elordi, who plays Nate Jacobs on the HBO series, said that Furo last month left items including a note, a rose bouquet, candies and pastries over multiple visits to his home in Hollywood, California.
The Brisbane, Australia-born actor said he has never met Furo, who he said left a bag of pastries hanging on a gate at his residence February 5.
Elordi said he found the the pastries while returning after walking his dog, and subsequently threw them out. He said that Furo appeared in his yard and said he was pleased to see Elordi’s ‘stupid ugly face,’ then told him that he loved him.
The actor, who appeared in last year’s Deep Water, alongside Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas, said he told Furo to leave the premises and reported his license plate number to authorities.
Elordi told the court that weeks later, he found candy, flowers and a note in his backyard, and security footage showed that Furo had been on the premises three times in a half-hour span.
A copy of the note Elordi told the court Furo sent him read, ‘Jacob, I wanted to apologize for 3 sat. ago. Was hoping to catch you in. Wanted you to tell me if you have been sending.
‘I found you on a beautiful Saturday afternoon quite organically without address without getting lost like this time. Would it be possible if you could call. My hands are shaking.’
Elordi said he has reason to believe Furo is monitoring his home and whereabouts, and that he is fearful of returning home from a film shoot he’s currently working on, as Furo has posted to social media about him obsessively.
Elordi told the court he has been notified that Furo has a criminal history and was accused in 2007 of breaking into the home of actor Nicolas Cage during the middle of the night wearing one of the actor’s leather jackets.
The court ordered Furo to remain at least 100 yards away from Elordi, his residence, vehicle and workplace.
Furo in 2008 entered a guilty plea to felony stalking in connection with an October 1, 2007 incident at a Newport Beach, California home Cage owned, The Daily Breeze reported.
He was sentenced to six months of rehabilitation, as his lawyer said Furo was ‘sleep walking … in a drug-induced daze’ in the incident.
