Fox says he wanted to discuss the viral scene in 'Saltburn' and asked the actor, who was visiting his home country ahead of the AACTA Awards on the Gold Coast on February 10,  if he could have some of his bathwater for Jackie O's birthday, which, ticked off Elordi.

"He then kind of gets up in my face. He's so close... and he's a lot taller than me. I could've kissed him he was that close," Fox said on Australia's Daily Telegraph on Monday, "So I'm backed against this wall, he's right in my face, and he's two boys are now on either side of me... I'm feeling quite intimidated, and then Jacob demands I delete the footage. And I said, 'Yeah that's fine,' because we're not going to use it."

But then, it felt like a "switch went off" as the 26-year-old 'Euphoria' actor became "quite aggressive."

"And then he goes, 'Go into your recently deleted'... I'm feeling quite intimidated, and I'm thinking, 'Something's going to happen here,' because I can't move. They're all surrounding me against this wall," Fox alleged of the incident with Elordi and his friends.

Adding, "I'm thinking, 'If I delete this footage, there's no evidence that this encounter happened.' I'm already thinking, the way they're surrounding me, I'm thinking something's going to happen here, someone's going to jump me or something."

The 'The Kyle & Jackie O Sho' producer then said he "refused" because he felt "uncomfortable [in the moment] and this is the only evidence."

"And then Jacob kind of just flips and he kind of pushes me against the wall and his hands are on my throat," he continued to recall of the incident. "One of his boys pulls him off me, because they're aware this is going to become a thing, and then I very quickly walk back towards the venue."

Following the incident, the New South Wales Police released a statement to Variety, saying, "Officers attached to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command are investigating after a man was allegedly assaulted outside a hotel in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs."
