Is Jacob Elordi Truly Obsessed with Margot Robbie?
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Los Angeles, Jan 20 (NationPress) Hollywood actor Jacob Elordi has revealed his deep-seated fascination with his ‘Wuthering Heights’ co-star Margot Robbie.
The 28-year-old actor takes on the role of Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell's upcoming film adaptation of Emily Bronte's classic, and he confessed that he was completely captivated by his fellow Australian during the filming process, according to reports from ‘Female First UK’.
During an interview with Fandango, Jacob shared, "We share a mutual obsession. The truth is, regardless of the storyline or script, if you have the chance to be on set with Margot Robbie, you'll find a way to stay within five to ten meters of her at all times. Observing how she sips her tea, enjoys her meals, and interacts with others is mesmerizing. There’s always a question of when it might falter, but it never does.”
In the film, Jacob and Margot portray the star-crossed lovers Heathcliff and Catherine, and Jacob felt that they were completely engrossed in the narrative, as reported by ‘Female First UK’.
He remarked, "There were moments when we would run hand-in-hand across the moors, possibly not even during a scene, just while setting it up - I would glance at her, and she would be gazing back at me... in those instances, we were genuinely embodying their love.”
The trailer for ‘Wuthering Heights’ has teased some steamy encounters between the two leads, and Margot, aged 35, admitted that certain aspects of the film left her feeling "weak at the knees".
The Barbie star told British Vogue: "It almost made me feel vulnerable. It was the subtle details that resonated with us as women in our 30s, and this film primarily speaks to our demographic. Epic romances and period dramas aren’t frequently produced by women." However, Margot emphasized that audiences will be "taken aback" by the film’s content upon its release next month.
She added, "Everyone anticipates this to be extremely raunchy. I believe viewers will be surprised. While there are certainly sexual elements and it is provocative, it leans more towards being romantic than just provocative. This is a grand epic love story.”
Margot is confident that Wuthering Heights will address a significant gap in the romantic film landscape.
