"My name is Elordi. Jacob Elordi. And if the star of 'Euphoria' is indeed about to be cast as James Bond, his 'Wuthering Heights' co-star Margot Robbie is all for it. Though she admits she "hadn't had a chance to ask him" about the speculation, Margot shared with E! News' Will Marfuggi at the premiere of 'Wuthering Heights' on Jan. 28, 'He could do anything. He could play any character.' After all, she got to witness his work firsthand in the Emerald Fennell adaptation of the Emily Brontë novel, where Margot plays Catherine and Jacob plays Heathcliff.
For Margot, their off-screen relationship soon became as powerful as their on-screen one. 'I remember the first couple of days on set,' the 'Barbie' alum recalled in a Jan. 14 Fandango panel, 'he would just be like, always in the vicinity of where I was, but in a corner watching. On the third day, I found myself starting to look around to see where he was. I was like, 'Well obviously he’s going to be somewhere close by. Where is he right now?'"
So the first time Margot—who married Tom Ackerley in 2016—couldn't see Jacob on set, she admitted feeling "unnerved and unmoored." "I felt quite lost," the 35-year-old explained. "Like a kid without their blanket or something. I was like, 'Where is he?'"
As for Jacob—who has been romantically linked to Olivia Jade Giannulli—he was quick to confirm it was a "mutual obsession," explaining how staying near Margot would become compulsory for anyone working with her. "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 five to 10 feet all the time," the 28-year-old said. "Watching how she drinks her tea, how she eats her food." He put it simply, "I was enamored by her."
