Jacob Elordi Went Full Heathcliff for Margot Robbie on Valentine’s Day While Filming ‘Wuthering Heights'

Published 01/24/2026, 6:34 AM CST

Love stories bloom in strange soil. Between Wuthering Heightscold moors and crowded call sheets, romance found Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. Valentine's Day turned theatrical.

Method acting dissolved boundaries, bouquets spoke in coded language, and gestures grew heavy with unspoken things. This was not celebrity tabloid fodder; it was longing that tasted like old ink and new scandals, messy and beautiful, the kind that leaves fingerprints on your heart.

While romance marketing loves roses and rehearsed smiles, this moment leaned theatrical, literary, and oddly sincere, hinting that the moors followed the cast straight into real life.

Jacob Elordi let Wuthering Heights guide his Valentine’s Day gesture

Jacob Elordi treated Valentine’s Day as an extension of rehearsal while filming Wuthering Heights with Margot Robbie, blurring character and reality through a gesture shaped by gothic devotion and deliberate theatrical intent alone.

"We were shooting on Valentine’s Day. You made my day and, as Heathcliff, filled my room with roses and it was so cute," Robbie said in a Vogue interview, reflecting on Elordi’s immersive Valentine's Day gesture during filming.

He transformed her room with roses, paired with a handwritten note written in Heathcliff’s voice, and finished the gesture with a tiny tombstone prop. 

Robbie admitted the surprise landed harder than expected. Speaking to Vogue, she explained the impact came from intention rather than roses alone. The effort suggested emotional literacy and thoughtful timing.

Robbie joked that Elordi was probably a "very good boyfriend”, a line that traveled fast online. More importantly, the gesture created trust on set. That trust aligned with Emerald Fennell’s emotionally charged vision, shaping the film’s dramatic tone.

Elordi added that simply looking at Robbie sometimes ignited Heathcliff and Catherine’s energy even outside scripted takes. Robbie later echoed the same intensity in her reflections while speaking to Vogue.

She credited Emerald Fennell for cultivating intensity without chaos. The set became a place where vulnerability had permission. The scenes demanded everything. The environment made giving everything possible.
