Jacob Elordi's role in Saltburn, a far cry from his recent portrayal of Elvis Presley, is giving his fans quite a shock as it hits Prime Video this weekend.

Fans across X (formerly Twitter) are sharing their surprise at the debauchery on display in the satirical black comedy from director Emerald Fennell as they watch the film from home over the holiday weekend.

While attending the movie's Los Angeles premiere, Elordi told Variety he was "very proud" of a scene in which his affluent character Felix Catton masturbates in a bathtub, only for college pal Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) to secretly lap up his bodily fluids from the drain.

"I was like, 'Thank God, it's mine,'" joked Elordi. "I was very proud. I was very proud to have Barry Keoghan guzzling it like that."

That's just one of the shocking scenes in writer/director Fennell's new psychological thriller, in which Oxford student Oliver gets an invitation from his new eccentric friend Felix to spend the holiday at his family's sprawling eponymous estate.

Keoghan revealed he was the mastermind behind another scene, in which his character sticks around after a funeral, pulls down his pants and gets intimate with a fresh grave.

"The gravesite was sort of like a collaboration with me and Emerald," he explained. "On the day, I was like, 'Can I try something?' I wanted to see what the next level of obsession was. So I asked for a closed set. I wanted to see where it went. It could have gone completely wrong but I think it moved the story."

Fennell explained that the movie "gets under your skin," adding: "We just want to make something that makes people feel something. I want to make stuff that you go and sit in a dark room full of strangers and you don't know what you're going to feel and you don't know where you're going to be probed. And everyone has a different take on it."

Saltburn, in theaters since Nov. 17, is now available to stream on Prime Video.
