Margot Robbie discusses how she prepared for the romantic scenes in Wuthering Heights
On January 28, Margot Robbie attended the premiere of Wuthering Heights. During an interview with PEOPLE on the red carpet, the Barbie actress shared what her process for preparing for love scenes in the new movie was like.
“[It was] no different to all the other scenes that we do,” the I, Tonya star revealed. “The movie kind of demands a lot of all of us. My character essentially cries in every single scene, but no, it was a joy. I loved playing a character who kind of swings from one wild emotion to the other in an instant,” she added.
While promoting the movie, Robbie described Wuthering Heights as more “bananas” compared to 2023’s Saltburn, which was also helmed by Emerald Fennell.
Later, in another interview with Access Hollywood, the Babylon actress answered a similar question. “When you’re making a movie, it doesn’t feel like you’re doing anything that different to the rest of the scenes,” she emphasized. “So, you’re just kind of like an average day at the office.” She quipped, “Don’t you guys do that at work?”
Speaking to PEOPLE, Fennell explained that filming intimate scenes requires “safety and trust and love” among the cast and crew. “It’s always just about making sure everyone feels super comfortable, and we all are, really,” she said.
The Oscar-winning writer continued, “We trust each other, and so we try to kind of make it funny and laugh everything off,” she says. “But love scenes are just the same as any other scene, really. And so we just approach it from an emotional point of view.”
Wuthering Heights is an adaptation of Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel of the same name. Robbie portrays Catherine Earnshaw, alongside Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. The movie will debut in cinemas on February 13, 2026.
