Jacob Elordi shares his surprising take on filming steamy Wuthering Heights sex scenes with Margot Robbie as he compares them to ‘fight or dance sequences’

by

Jacob Elordi recently revealed his unexpected experience filming intimate scenes with Margot Robbie for their movie, Wuthering Heights.

The film features two lead actors playing the iconic, ill-fated lovers Heathcliff and Cathy, and includes several passionate scenes between them.

Jacob, 28, explains that filming intimate scenes is similar to directing action or dance sequences – it requires a lot of technical skill.

He described the filming as fast-paced and energetic, comparing it to the start of a horse race. He explained that directing the scenes felt similar to choreographing a fight or a dance – it requires careful planning and precise timing.

The scene is quite technically demanding. It’s not sexual, but it involves a physically complex position – me on top of Margot – and required careful choreography. The lighting and limited space meant we had to plan every movement precisely.

‘So what you do has to fit in the frame and work with the lighting.’

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following the whirlwind press tour for ‘Wuthering Heights’ with Margot and Jacob, and let me tell you, it’s been incredible! They’ve been traveling the globe non-stop these past few weeks, promoting the film everywhere you can imagine.

The couple finished their highly publicized press tour and recently returned to Queensland for another visit with family.

The Australian duo unexpectedly showed up at a Brisbane movie theater for their sixteenth showing of the film on February 15th.

The actors star as Cathy and Heathcliff in a new film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic 1847 novel, directed by British filmmaker Emerald Fennell.

Moviegoers are already calling this epic historical drama the best film of the year. Many have shared their emotional reactions online, saying the story was deeply moving and left them in tears.

This story of a fiery love unfolds on the rugged Yorkshire moors, following the intense and ultimately damaging connection between Cathy and Heathcliff.

Before the film came out, director Emerald, age 40, said she really wanted viewers to have a strong emotional response.

In an interview with Time Out, she jokingly expressed a desire for kissing during movies, adding a playful apology to Cineworld for any potential rule-breaking.

Expect some emotional reactions, and many people will likely be very upset and crying.

I love movies that really make you feel something. When a film makes you scream, laugh, cry, or even just gasp, it means you’re truly connected to the story.

Jacob is now the frontrunner to be the next James Bond, taking the lead as the most likely replacement for Daniel Craig.

His surging popularity appears to have impacted his odds at becoming the next James Bond.

Jacob, once a long shot at 14/1 odds, is now the frontrunner to take over the role from Daniel Craig in the next film.

Since the premiere of Wuthering Heights last Friday, Jacob is now the frontrunner to land the role, with odds of 5/4. He’s overtaken Callum Turner, the previous favorite, whose odds have shifted from 7/10 to 6/4.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James round off the top four in the running.

Wuthering Heights earned a strong $76.8 million worldwide during its opening weekend, which is equivalent to £56 million.
