Jacob Elordi recently shared insights about filming alongside Margot Robbie in the adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The actor, known for his role in Kissing Booth, spoke about the intense chemistry they portrayed in the film, which stars Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Elordi as Heathcliff.
The Technical Side of Intimate Scenes
Elordi explained that shooting intimate scenes is highly technical and akin to choreographing a fight or dance sequence. He emphasized the precision required, saying,
“no different to choreo-graphing a fight scene or a dance sequence.”
He detailed the challenges in one specific scene, noting,
“It’s super- technical, especially the scene where, it’s not a sex scene, but where I’m on top [of Margot] with my hands — that’s choreographed because, in that kind of light, you only have so much space to move.”
