Jacob Elordi Rushes To Protect Margot Robbie From the Rain at London Premiere
Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie recently brought a touch of cinematic drama to the rainy streets of London, proving that their on-screen chemistry is just as potent in real life. On Thursday, Feb. 5, the two Australian stars arrived at the premiere of Wuthering Heights only to be met by the city’s signature gloomy weather.
Rather than letting the downpour dampen the mood, Elordi stepped in to protect Robbie from the rain, a chivalrous gesture that perfectly mirrored the brooding intensity of the characters they portray in the film.
The pair leaned heavily into the gothic aesthetic of the project with their fashion choices on the red carpet. Robbie stunned in a pale pink, semi-sheer gown designed by Dilara Findikoglu, featuring antique gold detailing that felt both modern and historically inspired. Elordi matched her energy in a sleek, monochromatic slate gray suit by Bottega Veneta, looking every bit the mysterious and atmospheric lead.
In a recent conversation with Fandango, Robbie opened up about the bond she formed with Elordi during the production. She admitted to being someone who becomes deeply codependent with her colleagues, noting how difficult it is for her to walk away when a project ends. The Oscar nominee shared that she developed this type of connection quite quickly with Jacob, making their time on set particularly meaningful.
Robbie also shared a peculiar detail about Elordi’s approach to the role during their first few days of filming. She recalled how he would often linger in the vicinity where she was working, sometimes just watching from a corner.
Whether this was a specific direction or a personal choice, it helped build the haunting dynamic between their characters, Catherine and Heathcliff, whose relationship is defined by a deep and often unsettling obsession.

As of February, both actors are riding a massive wave of professional success. Jacob Elordi, now 28, has become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after leading men. He recently starred in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. He is also set to return to the world of Euphoria later this year, while rumors circulate that he is in talks for a high-profile thriller directed by Denis Villeneuve.
Margot Robbie, at 35, continues to dominate the industry not just as a performer but as a powerhouse producer. Through her company LuckyChap Entertainment, she is currently developing several ambitious projects, including a live-action The Sims movie and a new adaptation of The Ocean’s Eleven franchise.
The film itself, which hits theaters on Feb. 13, is a bold reimagining of Emily Brontë’s 1847 classic. This version promises to be anything but traditional, featuring a modern soundtrack curated by Charli xcx and a visual style that blends the rugged Yorkshire Moors with Fennell’s signature provocative flair. With a supporting cast that includes Hong Chau and Alison Oliver, the movie is positioned to be the biggest romantic event of this year’s Valentine’s Day weekend.
Do you think Emerald Fennell’s decision to pair a modern pop soundtrack with a 19th-century gothic romance will make this version of Wuthering Heights a cult classic or a confusing departure for Brontë fans? Share your thoughts in the comments.
