The Actress Was 'Weak At The Knees' During Some Of The Movie Scenes In 'Wuthering Heights'

In "Wuthering Heights," Robbie took on the role of Catherine Earnshaw, while Elordi portrayed her brooding love interest, Heathcliff.
The drama was marked by a series of steamy encounters alongside deeply emotional and romantic moments that captivated fans of sweeping love stories.
Robbie herself admitted she was swept up in the intensity of it all, revealing to British Vogue in its January 2026 issue that some scenes left her "weak at the knees."
Among the standout moments was a scene in which Heathcliff effortlessly lifted Cathy with one arm, as well as another tender sequence where he shielded her face from the rain
Explaining why she felt that way, the actress noted that gestures like those reflect the kind of old-fashioned masculine bravado that women used to swoon over.
"It was the little things that we loved as two women in our 30s, and this movie is primarily for people in our demographic. These epic romances and period pieces aren't often made by women," she wrote.
Margot Robbie's Co-Star Labeled The Steamy Scenes On 'Wuthering Heights' As 'Super Technical'

Recently, Elordi also gave his own take on capturing the intimate moments in "Wuthering Heights."
He described the scenes as "super technical," and detailed instances from the film where this idea played out.
"It's like, 'Action' and it's like a horse at the race track - straight out of the gates," the actor told the Sun in an interview. "It's no different to choreographing a fight scene or a dance sequence."
"It's super technical, especially the scene where it's not a sex scene, but where I'm on top [of Margot] with my hands - that's choreographed because, in that kind of light, you only have so much space to move," Elordi added.
"So what you do has to fit in the frame and work with the lighting," he further remarked.
