Margot Robbie recently concluded her press tour for the movie Wuthering Heights in Sydney, Australia, where a sudden rain shower accompanied her arrival on the red carpet. Embracing the unexpected drizzle, Robbie saw it as the perfect chance to encourage a romantic gesture just days before Valentine’s Day, linking the moment to the excitement of the upcoming holiday.
Encouraging Rainy Day Romance with Valentine’s Eve Near
Robbie expressed her fondness for kissing in the rain, a gesture she described as a must-try experience.
“If you haven’t kissed in the rain, you should do it,”
she advised during an interview with Refinery29 Australia. She also urged those nearby to seize the moment, saying,
“It’s raining right now. Find someone. It’s almost Valentine’s Day, go have a smooch in the rain, it’s great!”
Wuthering Heights Draws on Romantic Rain Scenes
The actor’s enthusiasm for rain-soaked romance also reflects the tone of her new film, which contains similarly touching scenes. Robbie previously revealed one memorable sequence where her co-star Elordi shields her character from the rain. The moment’s emotional impact was strong, as she admitted it
“almost made me weak at the knees.”
A Representation of Mature Romance in Film
Robbie highlighted how Wuthering Heights differs from many traditional period romances by focusing on the subtle experiences of women in their 30s. Addressing the rarity of such stories, she noted,
“It was the little things that we loved as two women in our 30s, and this movie is primarily for people in our demographic. These epic romances and period pieces aren’t often made by women,”
as shared in a British Vogue interview.
Release Details and Anticipated Impact
Wuthering Heights is set to premiere in cinemas on February 13, just ahead of Valentine’s Day. Robbie’s promotion of romantic rain kisses ties closely to the film’s emotional themes and is likely to inspire audiences to embrace both cinematic and real-world moments of connection as the holiday approaches.
