Jacob Elordi is reacting to Margot Robbie’s recent ‘Wuthering Heights’ themed party and screening of the film with friends who had quite the reaction when he appeared on screen.
The Frankenstein star, 28, was asked about his thoughts on the party on Jimmy Kimmy Live! In it, Robbie, 35, recalled how her friend used to fawn over her co-star and “scream” every time he was on screen.
“She talked about her friends who threw a bachelorette party for her character, Cassie… and she said that when they saw you on the screen, all of them – these 20 women – just screamed non-stop,” host Jimmy Kimmel, 58, recalled. “She even said that if you had attended this event, they would have eaten you.”
Elordi said with a laugh. “Yeah, I don’t know. What do you think about that?”

Kimmel joked that everything seemed “extreme” and “a little scary,” to which the Saltburn actor replied, “She’s fierce, yeah.”
“[Margot]and her friends are intense… Yeah, they’re a lot of fun,” the actor added.
Robbie previously appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which aired on January 26th. Friends joked before sharing that she threw a fake bachelorette party for her character, Catherine Earnshaw.
“…There was a mood board. I was wearing a white corset and lace, and they were all dressed like mob wives with black lace and corsets. The theme was, I think, Victorian sluttiness,” she explained at the time.
The Barbie actress went on to reveal that she first showed the film to her friends at a bachelorette party, calling it “the most overwhelming experience of my life.”
“It ended up being the craziest night ever, but the screening itself… there were like 20 women foaming at the mouth,” she recalled. “They were like rabid dogs, and even though they had already had a few drinks, they were screaming when the movie started.”

“And I think it hit the Richter scale when Jacob came on screen. They screamed so loud,” Robbie added.
