Comparisons have been made between Jacob Elordi and Leonardo DiCaprio, suggesting he’ll be a similar heartthrob for a new generation. However, Margot Robbie believes Elordi’s talent reaches an even higher level, comparing him to Daniel Day-Lewis. She specifically praised his portrayal of Heathcliff, the brooding and passionate hero of Wuthering Heights. The casting has sparked discussion because some readers envisioned Heathcliff as a person of color, based on Emily Brontë’s description of him. While Robbie didn’t directly address this controversy, she strongly defended Elordi, pointing out that many previous actors who’ve played the role – including Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, Ralph Fiennes, and Tom Hardy – were white. She urged audiences to trust her judgment, saying, “Just wait. You’ll be happy.” Wuthering Heights has a strong legacy to uphold, and Robbie is confident Elordi will deliver a memorable performance.
