Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie star together in Wuthering Heights
Jacob Elordi has expressed his ‘obsession’ with Margot Robbie after the pair worked together on the upcoming movie, Wuthering Heights.
The Euphoria actor sat down with Robbie to promote the romance film, which is set to release in cinemas across the world next month.
Wuthering Heights is the latest creation from Saltburn creator Emerald Fennell, with it being loosely inspired by Emily Brontë’s iconic 1847 novel of the same name.

Fennell has defended her choice of casting, after fans pointed out that 35-year-old Robbie is playing Catherine, a character originally written as a teenager, while Elordi’s character of Heathcliff is described in the novel as ‘dark skinned’.

She told the BBC that Robbie is ‘not like anyone I’ve ever met – ever – and I think that’s what I felt like with Cathy’, and said of Elordi that he ‘looked exactly like the illustration of Heathcliff on the first book that I read’.
Well, based on the chemistry Elordi and Robbie have described on set, it should be electric come February 11.

Sitting down with Fandango, Elordi discussed the dynamic he and Robbie shared on screen, with the latter suggesting the feeling was ‘mutual’.

“We have a mutual obsession,” Elordi told the entertainment platform.
“I think the thing is, 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 5 to 10 meters at all times.
“Watching how she drinks tea, how she eats her food, how she does it. When is it going to slip? When is the thing going to come undone?

“And, it never comes undone.”
Elordi went on to say that they shared ‘moments looking at each other in character’ when they could feel the love for each other, which he hopes will come across on-screen and make it as authentic as possible.
“The moments when it was good and the love was alive were really sort of pleasurable moments to actually see, because in the book you don’t see them together,” the 28-year-old added.
“But to actually confirm that love in our version of the narrative, and to see it lived through, was a pretty profound experience.”

Robbie, meanwhile, went on to say that even when she isn’t filming scenes with Elordi, her character is ‘talking or thinking’ about him.
She added: “They are focused on each other in every single thing they do, which is a really nice and straightforward thing to do.”
Robbie went on to explain the character was much easier to play compared to a character who has ‘vague ambitions’.
She also stated that if she was constantly thinking about Elordi’s character ‘then she was doing her job in every scene’.Featured Image Credit: Fandango via YouTube

Upcoming UFO documentary filmed in secret claims to have made ‘the biggest discovery’ in human history
The Age of Disclosure features interviews with ’34 senior members of the U.S. Government, military, and intelligence community’
An ‘unprecedented and revelatory film’ is set for release ‘revealing a cover-up of the existence of non-human intelligent life’.
Last year, the US Senate introduced the bipartisan Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) – aka Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) – Disclosure Act.
And on January 22, a trailer for a documentary titled The Age of Disclosure claiming to lift the lid on an ’80-year cover-up’ was released online and it’s giving viewers’ ‘chills’.Play
The US government and UFOs
In 2023, three former military officials told Congress they believe the government knows more about UFOs than it is telling the public, and lawmakers noted UAPs are very much an issue of bipartisan concern and raise national security questions – such as being a threat to military or civilian aircraft.

Congress has since discussed the implications of UAPs on ‘national security, public safety and government transparency’ and last year the US Senate introduced the bipartisan UAP Disclosure Act, proposing the Government have to publicly disclose what it knows about UAPs.
And a new ‘unprecedented and revelatory’ documentary is set for release diving even further into the issue, featuring interviews with 34 senior members of the US Government, military and intelligence community.

What the documentary is set to ‘expose’
Produced and directed by Dan Farah, the documentary ‘reveals an 80-year cover-up of the existence of non-human intelligent life and a secret war amongst major nations to reverse engineer technology of non-human origin,’ its website states.

“Amongst those featured in the landmark film are Lue Elizondo (former Department of Defense official, member of the Government’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, aka AATIP), Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Mike Rounds, Jay Stratton (former DIA official, Director of the Government’s UAP Task Force), General Jim Clapper (former Director of National Intelligence), Mike Gold (NASA UAP Study Team member), Admiral Tim Gallaudet (Former Navy Chief Oceanographer), Brett Feddersen (former Director of Aviation Security on the White House’s National Security Council), Jim Semivan (former senior CIA official), Representative Carson, Mike Gallagher (former Chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party), Christopher Mellon (former Department of Defense official), senior scientist from multiple Government UAP programs such as Dr. Garry Nolan, quantum physicist Hal Puthoff Ph.D., astrophysicist Eric Davis Ph.D., military eye-witnesses of UAP events over U.S. military bases, and more,” it adds.
And with the trailer having been released on YouTube on January 22, it’s not taken long for people to weigh in.

Reactions to the Age of Disclosure trailer
One YouTube user wrote: “Finally, a well produced UFO documentary with great cinematography, well lit professional interviews and substantial interviewees. 10/10 well done.”
“Now THIS trailer gave me chills,” another added.
A third said: “Oh. My. God. This is gonna be good! The caliber of people they interviewed is unprecedented.”
A fourth resolved: “The time of revelation, It’s about time. We are ready.”

Jacob Elordi leaves fans baffled after hearing his real accent
After Jacob Elordi hosted Saturday Night Live, fans have been left baffled by his real accent.
He’s quickly becoming one of the biggest names in Hollywood, but fans have been left baffled by Jacob Elordi’s accent.
The 26-year-old, born in Brisbane, Australia, rose to fame as Nate Jacobs in HBO’s Euphoria.
Elordi is the talk of Hollywood at the minute, with his recent starring role in Saltburn captivating fans – though some got in a bit of trouble for picking it as their family film over the Christmas period.

As well as starring as Elvis Presley in Priscilla, the Aussie actor is clearly living the dream right now – and it was all topped off as he hosted Saturday Night Live for the very first time this past weekend.
Of course, being an actor involves using a bunch of different accents – ones that are very different from your own.
As a result, many have not heard Elordi’s ‘true’ accent before, but that all changed with Saturday Night Live as he hosted the show in his natural voice.
Well, it appears that many expected the actor to sound American, but that certainly wasn’t the case.
NBC/SNL
Many flocked to social media while watching the show to express their shock after hearing Elordi’s real accent.
Taking to X, one person wrote: “Watching SNL and why did no one tell me Jacob Elordi has an accent Oh.”
A second added: “I forget Jacob Elordi has an accent.”
Advert
And a third asked: “Did we all just collectively forget Jacob Elordi has an Australian accent.”
Others commented on how they thought the actor’s Down Under twang was a ‘performance’.
“Jacob Elordi sounds like he’s faking his accent,” another person on X quipped.
It comes as Elrodi issued an hilarious update on filming for Euphoria season three.
Before hosting Saturday Night Live, Elordi stopped by The Tonight Show to chat with Jimmy Fallon about Euphoria.
The second series dropped in 2022 but sadly, there’s been quite the delay in filming for season three – something Fallon decided to bring up with the actor in person.

Fallon asked Elordi when filming for Sam Levinson’s series would resume, to which Elordi cheekily asked: “I don’t know, do you know?
“I hope it’s soon, or they’re going to have to Benjamin Button me or something.
“I’m going to have a bad back walking down the hallway, you know?”
HBO confirmed in November that the third season of Euphoria is excepted to air in 2025.

Fans shocked by Margot Robbie’s reaction to smelling Jacob Elordi’s Saltburn bathwater candle
The Barbie star took a big whiff of the candle before sharing her thoughts
Margot Robbie stunned viewers with her reaction when she was able to get a whiff of a candle that smells like ‘Jacob Elordi’s bathwater’.
Did you even know such a scent existed?
It might sound like a rogue invention, but if you’re a fan of Prime Video’s comedy-thriller Saltburn then I’m sure you’ll be all too familiar with Jacob Elordi’s bathwater.
Advert
The scented candle has been inspired by a scene in the movie which – in case you couldn’t guess – features Elordi in a bath.
But this isn’t just the scent of bubble bath mixed with a bit of sweat.
In the film, Elordi’s character, Felix, actually gives himself a little self-love while enjoying a bath, introducing a whole new substance to the environment if you get my drift.
Things then take a shocking turn just moments later when the character of Oliver (played by Barry Keoghan) decides to take a big old slurp of that very same bath water.
Prime Video
Feeling queasy? Me too, but that hasn’t stopped people from trying to capitalize on the scene with the creation of the candle, which is for sale online.
I’ve no idea exactly how many of these candles have sold, but I know there must be at least one customer because Entertainment Tonight presented one of the candles to Barbie stars Robbie and America Ferrera during an interview at the Golden Globes last night (January 7).
And Robbie, who worked as a producer on Saltburn, didn’t hesitate to sniff the candle when it was presented to her.
Advert
“I haven’t even seen it yet, that is amazing,” she said before sniffing the product.
“Mm, smells just like Jacob Elordi’s bathwater,” she continued, adding: “So accurate.”
Entertainment Tonight
Robbie’s undeniable enthusiasm over the candle has left viewers baffled – with many questioning why she’s so confident over exactly what the product smells like.
“How [does] she know,” one X user asked, while another wrote: “No [because] how do [you know] that.”
Unfortunately, Robbie didn’t elaborate on exactly how she knew how accurate the candle was, leaving viewers to connect the dots for themselves.
The product obviously has Robbie’s seal of approval though, so if you want to find out for yourself what Jacob Elordi’s bathwater smells like then you can do so on Etsy or Amazon for around $30 or $40 dollars.
It’s a lot to pay for a candle, but as a description for the product points out: “There’s nothing quite like the smell of a quality candle, particularly when that smell is inspired by Jacob Elordi.”Featured Image Credit: Entertainment Tonight

Jacob Elordi admitted he ate a pound of bacon every day in bizarre preparation to play Elvis
Jacob Elordi plays Elvis Presley in the new drama Priscilla
It is not uncommon in the film world to see actors doing some rather strange things to be better adapted for a particular role.
Austin Butler didn’t see his family for three years while making Elvis, but what Jacob Elordi did to also get into the character of the King of Rock & Roll is surely the most bizarre.
Elordi stars as the music legend in Sofia Coppola’s new drama Priscilla, which hit theatres on Friday (3 November).
Advert
An officials synopsis for the movie reads: “When teenager Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who’s already a meteoric rock ‘n’ roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, and a gentle best friend.”
Alongside Elordi is Cailee Spaeny, who plays the role of Elvis’ ex-wife, Priscilla.
The acting pair and director Coppola sat down with Entertainment Weekly for its Around the Table video series, where they revealed they got a lot of advice from Priscilla herself.
Coppola explained: “Priscilla told us that Elvis liked really burned bacon.”
Elordi then chimed in: “I averaged like a pound of bacon a day. It’s not that noticeable because I’m quite long. But I was the biggest I’ve ever been.”
A24/Philippe Le Sourd
Of course, Elvis’ story has been told countless times in more or less every form of media at this point, but Priscilla looks further into the star’s relationship with his ex-wife.
The film promises to shed a light on some of the untold stories surrounding the former couple.
Advert
Coppola picked up Priscilla’s memoir, Elvis and Me, during the pandemic and was instantly fascinated by her story.
“I was really surprised because I realized how little we know about her,” the director admitted.
“They’re such a mythic, famous couple – Elvis and Priscilla – but when I read her story, I had no idea she was going to high school while she was living in Graceland.
“I was really impressed with how she really reveals what their life was like, what her experience was growing up in such an over-the-top setting.
“Also, I was surprised with how universal it was [and] how relatable it was.”

During the filming process, Coppola, Spaeny, and Elordi had access to Priscilla’s home movies and photographs, giving them an insight into what went on in Graceland.
Elordi said: “Probably the most helpful part was ignoring the mythology and trying to find out where the real person lies in that.
“We had the freedom of going to a place where he wasn’t so well documented, behind closed doors, so I could play with it a little bit and try to make it a bit more grounded and attempt to make it sound more human.”Featured Image Credit: Arturo Holmes/Getty Images for FLC / Archive Photos/Getty Images
