Jacob Elordi Says On-Set Moments With Margot Robbie Felt Like “Real” Love in Wuthering Heights

Fennell presents a visceral reimagining timed for a Valentine’s release.

Overview

  • Elordi described feeling genuinely immersed with Robbie during moorland scenes, recounting that they felt “a part of their love, for real.”
  • He said listening to Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights” during filming heightened a sunset sequence and deepened the characters’ connection.
  • The comments came in a Fandango interview published Jan. 14 and highlighted in new coverage as the film’s publicity ramps up.
  • Writer-director Emerald Fennell has called her adaptation “primal [and] sexual,” emphasizing a more overtly physical rendering of the romance.
  • The film opens in theaters Feb. 13 and features Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, and Ewan Mitchell, with Robbie having earlier defended Elordi’s casting as Heathcliff.
