Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi Share a Powerful Bond While Filming Wuthering Heights

Filming for the upcoming romantic drama Wuthering Heights was not just intense on screen, but also deeply emotional behind the scenes, according to recent interviews with the film’s lead stars, Barbie star Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

The movie, directed by Emerald Fennell, is a bold new take inspired by the classic 1847 novel by Emily Brontë. It is set to release in theatres on February 13, 2026, and early reactions suggest it will be one of the most talked-about romance films of the year.

During a recent interview with Fandango, Jacob Elordi opened up about his experience working with Margot Robbie. He explained that the two actors developed what he called a “mutual obsession” while filming. Elordi praised Robbie not only as a performer but also as a producer on the film. He shared that whenever you are on a set with Margot Robbie, you naturally want to stay close because of how focused, calm, and professional she is at all times.

Robbie also shared her side of the story in the same interview. She admitted that she becomes very connected to her co-stars during filming, especially when the story is emotional and intense. While working on Wuthering Heights, she said she quickly became used to knowing where Elordi was on set. On days when they were not filming scenes together, she felt strangely uncomfortable, comparing the feeling to a child missing a favorite blanket.

Both actors explained that even when they were not sharing a scene, they were still thinking about each other’s characters. This helped them stay emotionally connected to the story. Robbie said that as long as she was thinking about Heathcliff, Elordi’s character, she knew she was doing her job right in every scene.

The film stars Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Elordi as Heathcliff, two characters known for their intense and complicated love story. Other cast members include Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, and Ewan Mitchell.

With such strong chemistry, careful direction, and emotional performances, Wuthering Heights is shaping up to be a powerful and unforgettable love story. Fans of romantic films are already counting the days until its release.
