Jacob Elordi details 'obsession' with Margot Robbie after the pair filmed together for upcoming movie

Jacob Elordi is out here talking about Margot Robbie like the two of them shared a secret, and honestly, the way he describes it makes their upcoming romance movie sound dangerously believable.

After filming Wuthering Heights together, Elordi sat down to promote the Emerald Fennell directed project, and he did not hold back. He called it a “mutual obsession,” said he stayed within 5 to 10 meters of Robbie on set, and even described watching her tea and food habits like he was trying to memorize her in real time.

Between their on-screen chemistry and the film’s casting buzz, February 11 can’t come soon enough.

Main Story

Jacob Elordi has expressed his 'obsession' with Margot Robbie after the pair worked together on the upcoming movie, Wuthering Heights.

The Euphoria actor sat down with Robbie to promote the romance film, which is set to release in cinemas across the world next month.

That “within 5 to 10 meters” detail is what really turns a promo interview into a full on set romance rumor mill for Elordi and Robbie.

Key Point 2

Wuthering Heights is the latest creation from Saltburn creator Emerald Fennell, with it being loosely inspired by Emily Brontë's iconic 1847 novel of the same name.

Fennell has defended her choice of casting, after fans pointed out that 35-year-old Robbie is playing Catherine, a character originally written as a teenager, while Elordi's character of Heathcliff is described in the novel as 'dark skinned'.

She told the BBC that Robbie is 'not like anyone I've ever met - ever - and I think that's what I felt like with Cathy', and said of Elordi that he 'looked exactly like the illustration of Heathcliff on the first book that I read'.

Well, based on the chemistry Elordi and Robbie have described on set, it should be electric come February 11.

And once Emerald Fennell stepped in to defend the casting choices for Catherine and Heathcliff, the whole conversation got even louder.

Sitting down with Fandango, Elordi discussed the dynamic he and Robbie shared on screen, with the latter suggesting the feeling was 'mutual'.

"We have a mutual obsession," Elordi told the entertainment platform.

And in politics, Donald Trump’s claim that SCOTUS is swayed by foreign interests is sparking major backlash.

"I think the thing is, regardless of plot or screenplay, 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.

"Watching how she drinks tea, how she eats her food, how she does it. When is it going to slip?

When Elordi adds that they shared moments looking at each other in character, it makes the “love was alive” claim feel less like PR and more like play-by-play.

Elordi went on to say that they shared 'moments looking at each other in character' when they could feel the love for each other, which he hopes will come across on-screen and make it as authentic as possible.

"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 28-year-old added.

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

Robbie, meanwhile, went on to say that even when she isn't filming scenes with Elordi, her character is 'talking or thinking' about him.

Now that Robbie and Elordi both hint it was mutual, the tea drinking, the staring, and the Heathcliff energy all point toward a very electric viewing experience.

She added: "They are focused on each other in every single thing they do, which is a really nice and straightforward thing to do."

Robbie went on to explain the character was much easier to play compared to a character who has 'vague ambitions'.

She also stated that if she was constantly thinking about Elordi's character 'then she was doing her job in every scene'.

If their “mutual obsession” was this intense on set, the movie might steal your heart before you even blink.
