Margot Robbie Reacts to Rumors Jacob Elordi Is the Next James Bond

The name’s Elordi. Jacob Elordi.

And if the Euphoria star is indeed on his way to being tapped as the James Bond, his Wuthering Heights costar Margot Robbie is all for it. 

Though she admitted she “hadn’t had a chance to ask him” about the speculation, Margot added to 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 see his work firsthand in the Emerald Fennell adaptation of the Emily Brontë novel, in which Margot plays Catherine and Jacob plays opposite as Heathcliff.

For Margot, their offscreen relationship soon became as powerful as their onscreen one. 

“I remember the first couple 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 she felt “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 all the time,” the 28-year-old said. “Watching how she drinks tea, how she eats her food.”

He put it simply, “I was enamored by her.”

Fans can see that intimacy play out in real time when Wuthering Heights hits theaters on Feb. 13. For more must-see movies headed to the big screen in the coming months, read on.
