Legendary “Jaws” actor Richard Dreyfuss<\/a> pulled the plug on his appearance in Southern California to reunite with his fellow cast members — and it’s a mystery why he’s skipping out.<\/p>\n

Dreyfuss posted a message on Instagram Friday, explaining that he was grateful for all the “love and excitement” he felt ahead of his appearance at The Hollywood Show, a convention scheduled for May 29-30. But, due to circumstances beyond his control, Dreyfuss will not be able to make it there in person.<\/p>\n

The actor did not provide a specific reason why he would be a no-show … but he encouraged the gazillion “Jaws” fans to give the rest of the cast “the warmest welcome and all the love they deserve!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dreyfuss also thanked the creators, organizers, and caretakers of the “Jaws” legacy, and promised to be at the event in spirit.<\/p>\n

The event organizers wrote on Facebook that they’re saddened Dreyfuss would be missing out on the celebrity meet-and-greet … saying Richard is “extremely disappointed” and sincerely apologizes to his fans.<\/p>\n

Cast members from the original film who are expected to attend include … Carl Gottlieb, Ted Grossman, Carla Hogendyk, Jeffrey Voorhees, Jonathan Searle and more.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, Richard will be back in action soon! The other two standouts in the 1975 horror flick — Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw — died years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Richard Dreyfuss Drops Out Of ‘Jaws’ Event … Circumstances Beyond His Control Published May 23, 2026 8:15 AM…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":463998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60,43,112,2510,4526],"class_list":["post-463997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-tmz-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/463998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
