‘Euphoria’ star Jacob Elordi gets restraining order against Robert Furo, 61, who stalked Nicolas Cage in 2007
BURBANK, CALIFORNIA: Actor Jacob Elordi has filed for a restraining order against a male fan with a criminal history who has been repeatedly showing up at his home with unwanted gifts. Elordi claims that 61-year-old Robert Furo has been stalking him and professing his love for him, despite never having met him before. Elordi filed the restraining order on Monday, saying that Furo had twice dropped by his Hollywood home in February to leave gifts, including pastries, a bouquet of roses, and candies.
Elordi submitted a copy of the note in the filing, which read, "Jacob, I wanted to apologize for 3 sat ago. Was hoping to catch you in. Wanted you to tell me if you have been sending. I found you on a beautiful Saturday afternoon quite organically without address without getting lost like this time. Would it be possible if you could call. My hands are shaking." Elordi believes that Furo is monitoring his home or tracking his location because he says that Furo only shows up when he leaves the house. He is afraid to come back home, especially since he is currently shooting a film. A judge has signed off on a temporary restraining order that requires Furo to stop trying to contact Elordi and stay at least 100 yards away from him, his house, car, and job.

Elordi's stalking incident
Elordi claims that the first incident happened on February 5, when he returned home to find a bag of pastries hanging over a street-facing side gate. He says that a few minutes later, Furo was in his yard yelling his name, professing his love, and saying he was happy to see Elordi's 'stupid ugly face.' When Elordi confronted Furo, he told him to leave and eventually called the police. A few weeks later, Elordi says that Furo left flowers, candy, and a note in his backyard while he was out running errands. He claims that he has Furo on security footage entering his property three times in 30 minutes that day. Elordi says that Furo keeps posting on social media about how he loves him and is scared that his behavior may escalate. He also claims that Furo has a rap sheet and is the same guy who barged into Nicolas Cage's house in 2007 while wearing one of Cage's leather coats.
Who is Robert Dennis Furo?
According to Elordi, a man named Robert Dennis Furo has been stalking him and making unwanted advances, despite never having met before. Elordi also claims that Furo has a criminal record and is the same individual who broke into Nicholas Cage's home in 2007 while wearing one of Cage's leather coats. Furo was arrested for this incident and, as part of his plea deal, spent 30 days in lockdown at a hospital before entering a sober-living rehabilitation home in Tustin for up to five months. It was reported that Furo was abusing prescription drugs at the time of the break-in. When Cage found Furo in his home, he escorted him outside, and police responded to a call from a Bayshore complex security guard at 1.27 am. They later found Furo naked in the actor's backyard at 2 am.
