Jacob Elordi Says He & Margot Robbie Formed a 'Mutual Obsession' While Filming 'Wuthering Heights'

Wuthering Heights stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have really bonded during production of their new movie.

Emerald Fennell‘s adaptation of the Emily Brontë novel of the same name stars Margot as Catherine and Jacob as Heathcliff. The actors discussed the movie and their close relationship in a new Fandango interview.

“I’m so codependent with people I work with and I love everyone so much and I’m always that person who’s so devastated when a job’s over and I never want it to end. I think I developed that quite quickly with Jacob too,” Margot shared. She and Jacob are also both Australian.

The Babylon star also remembered Jacob would often stay near her on set, maybe just “in a corner, watching Cathy,” similar to how Heathcliff acts in the book.

Emerald joked that she didn’t tell the Euphoria star to do that.

“I actually had to ask him to leave,” she said playfully.

Margot said whenever he wasn’t there, she would look for him. “I was really unnerved and unmoored. And I felt quite lost, like a kid without their blanket or something.”

“We have a mutual obsession,” Jacob chimed in. “If you have the opportunity to share a film set with Margot Robbie, you’re going to make sure you’re within 5 to 10 meters at all times, watching how she drinks tea, how she eats her food. … She’s just like an elite actor.”

Wuthering Heights will be released in theaters on February 13.

Last week, the director explained why the film’s title is in quotation marks on the artwork!
