This On-Screen Act by Jacob Elordi Made Margot Robbie ‘Weak at the Knees’

As Wuthering Heights approaches its Valentines Day premiere, Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie opened up about one particularly memorable scene on set. The moment in question featured Elordis Heathcliff performing an action that Robbie admitted made her weak at the knees.

Robbie Reveals the Gesture

In a conversation with British Vogue, Margot Robbie described a specific on-screen gesture by Jacob Elordi that left a strong impression. She recalled a scene where he lifts Cathy using only one arm and another where he shields her face from the rain. Robbie noted that these subtle acts resonated with her and other women in their 30s, emphasizing the films appeal to their generation.

On-Screen Chemistry and Romantic Tone

Robbie portrays Cathy opposite Elordis Heathcliff in Emerald Fennells adaptation of Emily Bronts classic. While some viewers might anticipate explicit content following Fennells work on Saltburn, Robbie reassured audiences: People might expect something very provocative, but its more about romance. This is an epic love story.

Robbies Experience Filming Postpartum

Filming began just three months after Robbie gave birth, which initially worried her. She shared, I wondered if I was ready, but Emerald encouraged me to stay present rather than overthink. This guidance helped Robbie stay in tune with her performance, focusing on feeling rather than thinking.

Reflecting on her first encounter with the script, Robbie said, It completely overwhelmed me. By the end, I felt both full and emotionally shattered. Notably, she had neither read the novel nor seen previous adaptations prior to taking on the role.

Elordi Praises Robbie

Jacob Elordi complimented his co-star via email: Margot is incredible. She makes everything look effortless. Sometimes I think she has Hermiones Time-Turner balancing a baby, multiple films, and still having time to meet friends. Robbie shared a personal connection with Cathy, describing the character as a complex puzzle you need to understand.
