Jacob Elordi patiently guides furry co-star Rak Jasper to strike the perfect pose at 'The Dog Stars' London premiere

Jacob Elordi and his canine co-star, Rak Jasper, attended the world premiere of 'The Dog Stars' in London on August 20, 2026. The actor interacted playfully with the Belgian Malinois, using hand gestures and treats to direct its attention toward the surrounding bank of photographers, creating an endearing red-carpet moment. Directed by Ridley Scott and adapted from Peter Heller’s acclaimed 2012 novel, 'The Dog Stars' is a sci-fi survival drama set in a desolate future following a catastrophic flu pandemic. Elordi stars as Hig, a civilian pilot and mechanic living an isolated existence at an abandoned Colorado airport alongside his loyal dog, Jasper (Rak Jasper), and an armed survivalist named Bangley (Josh Brolin). 'The Dog Stars' is set for a wide theatrical release on August 28, 2026.
