Jacob Elordi Hospitalized After Steam-Shower Burn During Wuthering Heights Shoot

Emerald Fennell recalls a first‑week hospital alert ahead of the film’s Feb. 13 release.

Overview

  • Elordi says he suffered a second-degree burn after leaning onto a brass steam knob while cleaning his feet in a steam shower during production.
  • He recounted going to the hospital and returning to set with the injury, which he described in a new Esquire UK conversation with Fennell.
  • Fennell confirms she was notified during the first week of filming and initially feared a car accident before learning it was a shower burn.
  • Elordi jokes he had quipped about “going Method” after a make-up artist referenced Daniel Day‑Lewis, a story later reported by Variety and Entertainment Weekly.
  • Warner Bros. is releasing Fennell’s Wuthering Heights on Feb. 13, as debate over Elordi’s casting continues and Margot Robbie publicly backs his performance.
