Margot Robbie Reveals Codependence with Jacob Elordi During “Wuthering Heights” Filming
Margot Robbie has shared insights about her filming experience with Jacob Elordi in the upcoming adaptation of “Wuthering Heights,” directed by Emerald Fennell. During a recent interview, Robbie expressed feelings of codependence that developed quickly between her and Elordi on set. Both actors portray the iconic characters Catherine and Heathcliff in this adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel.
Close Collaboration on Set
In the Fandango interview, the 35-year-old Oscar nominee reflected on her strong bond with the 28-year-old Elordi. She noted, “I’m so codependent with people I work with,” revealing her emotional attachment to her co-stars. Robbie’s affection for her colleagues often leaves her feeling devastated when filming ends, a sentiment she shares with Elordi.
Elordi humorously noted that if one had the opportunity to work beside Robbie, they would want to stay close. “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,” he remarked, highlighting how closely he observed her performance during shoots.
The Filming Experience
Robbie described how Elordi would often stay nearby while she worked on the set, capturing the intense dynamic similar to that of their characters. She recounted, “In the first days on set, he would just be always in the vicinity… watching Cathy.” Robbie later expressed feeling lost when Elordi was not close by, saying she felt “unnerved” without his presence.
Elordi reciprocated the sentiment, admitting their shared obsession with each other’s craft. Observing Robbie’s acting closely was not just admiration; it was about learning from her elite skills.
