"It has now been revealed that Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have matching rings decorated with two hugging skeletons and the phrase Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. It's all getting a bit Wicked, isn't it? Do we really need to form parasocial relationships with actors to enjoy their films? Maybe if that was the extent of it, this would be fine."
"There was the interview in January in which Robbie revealed that, during filming, Elordi would always make sure he was closely watching her on set, even when he was not required, and that even his occasional absence would result in her feeling lost, like a kid without their blanket or something. Or the time when Elordi claimed they had a mutual obsession. Or when Robbie revealed that Elordi filled her room with roses on Valentine's day,"
Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights press tour has featured deliberately performative romantic gestures from Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, including matching skeleton rings engraved with the novel's famous line. The pair's interviews have emphasised intense on-set attention, mutual obsession, and lavish gifts, creating a narrative of real-life romance around a professional collaboration. Margot Robbie is married to Tom Ackerley and co-produced the film with him, and she had a newborn during filming, which complicates the romantic framing. The campaign's blending of staged intimacy and promotion has generated fatigue and skepticism among audiences.
