Jacob Elordi: Margot Robbie is a pure source of energy

Jacob Elordi discusses his role as Heathcliff and praises co-star Margot Robbie's inspiring work ethic ahead of the film's India release.

"She's an inspiration and a pure source of energy, and I love working with her. - Jacob Elordi"

Mumbai, Feb 4

Actor Jacob Elordi, who steps into the role of Heathcliff opposite Margot Robbie's Cathy in "Wuthering Heights", has spoken about the actress, whom he tagged as a "pure source of energy" and that he loves "working with her."

Speaking about working with Robbie both as co-star and producer, Elordi said: "At any moment, Margot is managing no fewer than 50 things and always with a smile."

"That stops you from being able to complain about anything, just seeing what she can accomplish in a day. She's an inspiration and a pure source of energy, and I love working with her."

Discussing his interpretation of Heathcliff, he shared: "Heathcliff is the original outcast. Shouted at, hit, and spurned by his father and the world at large. From the start, he's bracing for impact at any time, so his physicality is protective, curled up."

"The way the set was built, it was like the world he knew, cold, isolating, closing in on him. Cathy was the only source of light or warmth, but he's still told he's not one of them. After he comes back to Wuthering Heights, he stands tall. He has autonomy; his clothes complement him. He has money, which makes him their equal. It was a good arc to play," Elordi added.

Warner Bros. Pictures and MRC Present A Lie Still Production, A LuckyChap Production, A Film by Emerald Fennell, "Wuthering Heights." Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, the film will be in Cinemas and IMAX across India on February 13.

A bold and original interpretation of one of the greatest love stories of all time, Emerald Fennell's film stars Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, whose forbidden passion for one another turns from romantic to intoxicating in an epic tale of lust, love, and madness.

The film also stars alongside Oscar nominee Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, BAFTA winner Martin Clune,s and Ewan Mitchell.

Interesting to see a Hollywood adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Elordi's analysis of Heathcliff's physicality sounds deep. Hope the film does justice to the original's dark, passionate soul. Will watch in IMAX for sure.

"Managing 50 things with a smile" – that's the definition of a true producer and star. Robbie is an inspiration. As an aspiring filmmaker in Mumbai, this is the kind of energy I want to bring to my sets.

Good to see Warner Bros. bringing it to Indian cinemas. But honestly, I wish our own film industry would adapt more Indian literary classics with this level of scale and intent, not just remakes of southern hits.

The chemistry between Elordi and Robbie looks promising! The description of Cathy as the "only source of light" is so poetic. February 13 is marked on my calendar. Hope the Indian audience embraces this tragic love story.

As someone who studied English Lit, I'm always skeptical of new adaptations, but Elordi seems to have really thought about the character's journey. The focus on his transformation through clothes and money is a sharp observation.
