Margot Robbie’s Valentine’s Day anecdote with Jacob Elordi sparks debate online
Margot Elise Robbie, an Australian actress and producer, and the world’s highest-paid actress in 2023, widely acclaimed for her work across blockbuster and independent cinema. She is set to star in the upcoming film Wuthering Heights alongside Jacob Elordi, an Australian actor who will also appear in the forthcoming release Two Dog Stars later this year.
Robbie has found herself at the centre of online chatter after sharing a romantic behind-the-scenes story involving her Wuthering Heights co-star. The actress revealed that Elordi surprised Margot Robbie’s with a room full of roses on Valentine’s Day during filming, a gesture she described as thoughtful, creative and deeply in character.
Speaking about the moment, Robbie recounted how Elordi, who plays Heathcliff in the upcoming adaptation, leaned fully into the brooding romance of the role. “You made my day and, as Heathcliff, filled my room with roses and it was so cute,” she said, explaining that the surprise went far beyond a simple bouquet. According to Robbie, the actor included a handwritten note “from Heathcliff” and even a small tombstone-style prop, which she described as “crafty, meaningful and dramatic”.
The actress added that the attention to detail made her think Elordi would be “a very good boyfriend”, praising his thoughtfulness and commitment. “It wasn’t just the gesture of the roses, it was the thing written from Heathcliff, and that little tombstone thing. I was like, ah, crafts! Love that,” she said.
However, the anecdote has prompted mixed reactions online, particularly among Indian social media users. While some fans viewed the story as a charming example of method acting and professional camaraderie, others questioned the tone of Robbie’s remarks and how they might be perceived given her personal life. Robbie has been married to British film producer Tom Ackerley since 2016.
On Indian social media platforms, reactions have ranged from light-hearted memes to more critical commentary. Some users argued that the moment was being over-analysed and that actors often engage in character-driven gestures while filming. Others speculated about boundaries between co-stars and wondered how Robbie’s husband might feel about the public discussion of such a romantic gesture.
Neither Robbie nor Ackerley has addressed the debate directly. As anticipation builds for Wuthering Heights, the episode highlights how even light-hearted on-set anecdotes can quickly spark wider conversations online, reflecting the intense scrutiny surrounding celebrity relationships and global fandom culture.
