Jacob Elordihas left the internet swooning!

The actor, 27, debuted dramatic sideburns at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival on Saturday, Feb. 15 while promoting his upcoming Australian Prime Video seriesThe Narrow Road to the Deep North.

Elordi kept his look simple at the event, wearing a gray sweater layered over a white shirt and black slacks with a black belt. He also wore a stylish pair of black Tabi loafers that featured a brown strap.

Along with his fashionable ensemble, the actor made a few bold grooming choices. He wore his hair in messy curls styled to frame his face and rocked a pair of classic mutton chops with an otherwise clean-shaven appearance.
