Jacob Elordi 's showing off a whole new look ...
ditching the clean cut vibe for a thick beard and longer hair at a film festival in Morocco. The actor made an appearance at the Marrakech International Film Festival Friday ..
. and, ya gotta see the pics 'cause he's near unrecognizable with the hair on his face and the middle part in his locks. Jacob's wearing a stylish suit here with a multicolred brooch on his lapel .
.. but, most people were probably too focused on the new hair and beard combo to notice.
Unclear if Jacob's style decision is a choice or a necessary change for an upcoming role ...
but, either way, it's a totally different look for the actor. Elordi's got a few new projects coming up ..
. playing Heathcliff in a controversial upcoming adaptation of "Wuthering Heights" and Frankenstein's Monster in a retelling of the classic terrifying tale. It doesn't seem like either of those movies would require Jacob to grow facial hair .
.. unless Dr.
Frakenstein plans on shaving a beard off a corpse and reapplying it to his creation's face. Recently, Jacob's been spending time with his GF Olivia Jade Giannulli and her family ..
. frolicking on yachts on an extended European vacay. No word on whether she likes the scruff or prefers JE with a cleaner face.
Looks like this is Elordi's style for now ...
but, we'll have to see how long he's sticking with it..
