- Elordi, 25, says the 61-year-old man made several unwelcome advances to him
- He said the bailiff left notes and flowers at his home on multiple occasions
- Elordi said the man was accused of breaking into Nicolas Cage’s home in 2007
Jacob Elordi was granted a restraining order by a Los Angeles court on Monday against a man he alleges was stalking him.
The Euphoria actor, 25, told the court that a 61-year-old man named Robert Dennis Furo had repeatedly made unwanted advances towards him in recent weeks, TMZ reported after reviewing the court documents.
Elordi, who plays Nate Jacobs on the HBO series, said Furo left items including a note, a bouquet of roses, candy and pastries on multiple visits to his home in Hollywood, California last month.
The Brisbane, Australia-born actor said he never met Furo, who left a bag of pastries hanging from a gate of his apartment on February 5.
Elordi said he found the pastries when he returned after walking his dog and subsequently threw them away. He said that Furo appeared in his garden and was happy to see Elordi’s “stupid ugly face” and then told him he loved him.

The actor, who starred in last year’s Deep Water alongside Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas, said he told Furo to leave the premises and report his number plate to authorities.
Elordi told the court that weeks later he found candy, flowers and a note in his backyard and security footage showed Furo had been to the compound three times within half an hour.
A copy of the note Elordi shared with the court, which Furo sent him, read: “Jacob, I wanted to apologize for 3 sat. before. Was hoping to catch you. Wanted you to tell me if you sent.
“I found you naturally without an address on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, without getting lost like this time. Would it be possible if you could call. My hands are shaking.’
Elordi said he had reason to believe Furo was monitoring his home and whereabouts and that he was afraid to return home from a film shoot he was working on as Furo had been posting about him obsessively on social media .
Elordi told the court he was informed that Furo had a criminal history and was accused of breaking into actor Nicolas Cage’s home in the middle of the night in 2007 while wearing one of the actor’s leather jackets.
The court ordered Furo to stay at least 100 meters from Elordi, his residence, vehicle and workplace.
Furo pleaded guilty to stalking in 2008 in connection with an Oct. 1, 2007 incident at a Cage-owned home in Newport Beach, California, The Daily Breeze reported.
He was sentenced to six months in rehabilitation because his lawyer said Furo was “sleepwalking… in a drug-induced stupor” at the incident.
The actor, who appeared in last year’s Deep Water, was pictured in NYC in May last year. The Australian-born actor was pictured walking the red carpet at last year’s Met Gala following an October 1, 2007 incident at a home in Newport Beach, California that belonged to Nicolas Cage
