Jacob Elordi teases ‘real’ on-set chemistry with ‘Wuthering Heights’ co-star Margot Robbie: ‘Pretty profound experience’

Jacob Elordi gave fans a glimpse into the epic chemistry he shares with Margot Robbie in their upcoming movie, “Wuthering Heights.”

“The moments when it was good and the love was alive were really sort of pleasurable moments to actually see, because in the book you don’t see them together,” the actor told Fandango, referencing the doomed lovers — Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff — that he and Robbie portray in the film.

“But to actually confirm that love in our version of the narrative, and to see it lived through, was a pretty profound experience.” 

The “Frankenstein” actor, 28, also recalled feeling fully immersed in the literary adaptation while filming certain moments with Robbie, 35.

“There’d be a moment where we’d be running hand-in-hand through the moors — maybe not even in the scene, just setting it up — where I’d look across at her and she’d be looking at me and you really realized you are looking at Catherine and she was looking at Heathcliff,” Elordi shared.

“And in that moment, we really were a part of their love, for real.”

The “Euphoria” star further reflected on how Kate Bush’s 1978 hit song “Wuthering Heights” enhanced a particularly romantic scene as they filmed on the famed moors of England.

“It was this really sort of profound thing watching the sunset and being Heathcliff and Cathy, sitting and watching the sunset on the moors as the sort of spirit of their characters have for the last 200 years,” he recalled.

“And you can almost imagine that the spirit of this love that [author Emily] Brontë created is sort of floating around there,” he continued, noting that it “felt like” they were “catching little pieces” of Catherine and Heathcliff’s doomed bond.

Regarded as one of the greatest literary romances of all time, the 1847 novel has been repeatedly adapted for the screen throughout the years.

It follows the tragic story of Heathcliff, an orphan taken in by the Earnshaw family, and Cathy, with whom he’s raised as a sibling — and their unattainable love for one another.

Robbie explained during the interview that the fictional couples’ attraction “destroys them and everyone around them” as they attempt to legitimize their fiery bond, leading to death and despair.

While the romance is beloved, Robbie explained, it’s not necessarily fulfilling. Director Emerald Fennell, she recalled, once told the “Barbie” actress that her goal for the film was for viewers to “cry so hard they vomit.”

Robbie jokingly recalled thinking, “Wonderful.”

In December, Robbie defended Fennell’s casting of the “Euphoria” star as the tormented romantic lead after fan backlash.

“I saw him play Heathcliff, and he is Heathcliff,” the “I, Tonya” star told British Vogue last month. “I’d say, just wait. Trust me, you’ll be happy.”

“Wuthering Heights” is set to hit theaters on Feb. 13, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
