Margot Robbie has openly discussed the powerful connection she shared with Jacob Elordi while filming Wuthering Heights. Their chemistry developed quickly on set, contributing significantly to the film’s emotional depth. Robbie attributes this rapid bond partly to their shared Queensland roots, which helped them relate to one another more naturally during production.
How Their Relationship Grew During Filming
Robbie recalls the intensity of her experience working alongside Elordi, describing how the connection became almost overwhelming. She explained to Fandango how deeply attached she became, saying,
“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,”
Margot Robbie shared.
She went on to describe the emotional impact when she was separated from Elordi, stating,
“I found myself starting to look around to see where he was. I was really unnerved and unmoored. And I felt quite lost, like a kid without their blanket or something.”
Shared Backgrounds Strengthen Their On-Screen Rapport
One of the key reasons behind their quick bond is the fact they come from Queensland, Australia, which Robbie notes brought them closer. Speaking with Refinery29 Australia on the final press day for Wuthering Heights, Robbie said,
“We’re both Queenslanders, so I think we immediately got along on that front,”
highlighting their similar upbringing as a foundation for their on-screen partnership.
Beyond their personal connection, Robbie emphasized the positive environment created by the film’s script and crew. She remarked,
“And we had an amazing script and an amazing crew, an amazing group around us, we just all had so much fun making this movie.”
Robbie’s Tribute to Her Character and Film Release
As the press tour concluded, Robbie made a fashion statement by wearing an 18th-century corseted gown designed by Ashi Studio, paying homage to Catherine Earnshaw, the character she portrayed in Wuthering Heights. The film is scheduled to premiere in theatres on February 13, inviting audiences to experience the passion and connection that Robbie and Elordi brought to the story.
