It is unclear what the man said in the video, but it appears he was advising Elordi to step away from interactions with his fans.

"I'm going to take a picture right here. Don't ever tell me what to do," he told the security guard.

The fans appeared thrilled that Elordi prioritised time with them and, despite the awkward exchange, said that the Saltburn star was "so nice".
"He was so nice, [and took photos] with everyone he can," one fan wrote sharing the video to TikTok.
In the comment section, responses to Elordi's tense exchange was mixed.
Some fans praised Elordi for prioritising his fans while others felt his response was "rude".
"Good on him, he's being nice to his fans," one TikTok user wrote.
"But if something happened he would be blaming the bodyguard for not being aware," wrote another.
One shared that the actor can't win no matter what.
"This is so funny, people complain no matter what. If he doesn't stop to take pictures, people will say he is arrogant, if he stopped to take pictures and basically tell the person whatever he said, he is rude, like people are never happy," they wrote.

It echoes a similar heated red carpet exchange that took place at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
While walking the red carpet on May 19 2025, Denzel Washington, got into an heated exchange with a photographer who grabbed his suit jacket sleeve, seemingly trying to get the actor's attention.
In video footage capturing the moment, Washington then turned away from Spike Lee – who had wandered over – to directly confront the man.
The Equalizer star pointed in the photographer's face repeatedly while the man laughed and once again grabbed Washington's arm.
During the exchange, the star appeared to say "stop" multiple times.
