Fans have jumped to the defence of Aussie star<\/a> Jacob Elordi<\/a> after a video posted by a fan has gone viral on social media<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In the clip, the fan can be seen filming<\/a> Elordi, 28, as he walks past before walking behind him and gently placing a hand on his back to get his attention, which prompted Elordi to set a firm boundary<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Elordi<\/a> appeared to walk past the fan, avoiding any conversation or picture opportunity, so when the fan approached him from behind and put a hand on his back, he turned around to speak to him. <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t touch me bro,\u201d Elordi can be heard saying in the clip.<\/p>\n

The fan posted the video to both Instagram<\/a> and TikTok<\/a>, captioning the clip, \u201cJust wanted a picture chief\u201d.<\/p>\n

At the time of publishing, the video has amassed more than two million views on TikTok, but the reaction doesn\u2019t seem to be what the fan had potentially expected. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure you wouldn\u2019t want strangers touching you either.. Celebrity or not… Don\u2019t touch people you don\u2019t know,\u201d read one comment. <\/p>\n

\u201cI would never touch a celebrity to get their attention. Put yourself in their shoes\u2026your innocent tap reads a bit different when you\u2019ve been hounded relentlessly by so many different types of fans, paparazzi, etc,\u201d another commenter added. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just not fair to judge this the way we would normally tap or gently touch someone to get their attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original poster soon jumped to his own defence after seemingly receiving a barrage of comments in defence of Elordi\u2019s reaction. <\/p>\n

\u201cSome of you in the comments are so soft, you\u2019ve got me laughing \ud83d\ude02,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n

He and rumoured partner Kendall Jenner were recently photographed out and about in Japan. \u00a0Instagram\/@udon_shin.official<\/p>\n

He went on to explain that he had been in line at a restaurant when Elordi and Kendall Jenner<\/a> walked in. <\/p>\n

He clarified that he did not approach them while they were eating, instead asking them for a picture on their way out. <\/p>\n

\u201cJust a fan who was excited to meet him and wanted to capture the moment, that\u2019s all,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo disrespect intended. It\u2019s not like I stalked them or wrapped him in a bear hug. No big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
