Jacob Elordi recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to discuss the unusual Victorian-themed private screening hosted by Margot Robbie and her friends. The event, centered around the film Wuthering Heights, featured a fake bachelorette party where Robbie and attendees embraced the period style, creating a memorable and lively atmosphere.
Elordi’s Impression of Robbie’s Themed Private Screening
During the interview, Kimmel reminded Elordi of a story Margot Robbie shared about the private screening for her film. The actress described how her friends threw a bachelorette party for her character Cathy, with about 20 women dressed in Victorian-style clothing enthusiastically reacting as Elordi’s character appeared onscreen. Kimmel recalled,
“She told a story about her friends who threw a bachelorette party for her character Cathy… and she said they were all — these 20 women — shrieking nonstop when they saw you on the screen. She even said that if you had been at this event, they would have eaten you.”
Elordi laughed and responded,
“Yeah, I don’t know. What do you say to that?”
Kimmel then noted how intense and almost scary the event seemed, to which Elordi admitted that Robbie and her friends are indeed intense but also fun.
