Jacob Elordi spoke about his experience working alongside Margot Robbie in the movie Wuthering Heights. The actor shared insights during an interview with The Sun, focusing on the intimate scenes he filmed with Robbie.
Portraying Iconic Characters Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw
In this adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic 1847 novel, Elordi takes on the role of Heathcliff, a brooding and intense figure, while Robbie embodies the headstrong and tormented Catherine Earnshaw. The two actors’ on-screen relationship captures the passionate and tumultuous connection central to the story.
Behind the Scenes of the Intimate Scenes
Elordi explained that filming sex scenes involves technical precision and careful choreography. He noted,
“no different to choreographing a fight scene or a dance sequence.”
The actor provided further detail, stating,
“It’s super-technical, especially the scene where, it’s not a sex scene, but where I’m on top [of Margot] with my hands — that’s choreographed because, in that kind of light, you only have so much space to move.
So what you do has to fit in the frame and work with the lighting,”
he said.
Additional Cast and Film Release Details
The film, which premiered on February 13, 2026, also features Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, and Ewan Mitchell in supporting roles. This adaptation brings new life to the well-known story of love and conflict on the Yorkshire moors.
Significance of the On-Screen Chemistry
The natural yet carefully orchestrated connection between Elordi and Robbie helps convey the emotional depth of their characters. Their performances contribute to a fresh interpretation of Wuthering Heights, and the film’s release invites audiences to revisit Brontë’s timeless narrative through a contemporary lens.
