Jacob Elordi Gives ‘Wuthering Heights’ Production Update & Praises Emerald Fennell’s Adaptation As “Breathtaking”


The Euphoria star also praised Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights as "breathtaking"

Jacob Elordi is looking forward to audiences seeing what may be one of his most highly anticipated roles yet. He also expressed his reverence for Fennell’s take and sung the praises of his co-star Margot Robbie, who leads as Catherine Earnshaw, as well as the rest of the cast, which also includes Hong Chau, Alison Oliver and Shazad Latif. Fennell—who serves as writer, director and producer on the adaptation, which has been filming in the UK—previously faced backlash for casting a white actor as Heathcliff, who is described in the book as a “dark-skinned gipsy.”
