Margot Robbie has shared a hilariously chaotic story from a private screening she hosted for Wuthering Heights, and the real star of the night, according to her, was none other than Jacob Elordi.
Recalling the evening, Margot described it as “the most unhinged experience” of her life and easily the funniest Wednesday she has ever had. What was meant to be an intimate literary film night quickly turned into absolute madness once Jacob appeared on screen. According to Margot, the reaction from the women in the room was nothing short of feral.
“There were about 20 women,” she said, adding that they were “frothing at the mouth.” Margot didn’t stop there, comparing the energy in the room to “rabid dogs,” with constant commentary, screaming, and emotional breakdowns happening throughout the screening. The atmosphere, by her account, was loud, chaotic, and completely out of control.
Margot herself was not spared by the emotions of the night. She admitted she was screaming along with everyone else and sobbing during parts of the film. At one point, she genuinely feared what might happen if Jacob Elordi showed up in person. “If Jacob Elordi walked in right now,” she joked, “I think they would eat him.”
The story has quickly gone viral, perfectly capturing the collective obsession around Elordi, whose screen presence has turned him into one of the most talked about actors of his generation. Margot’s anecdote also highlights just how intense fan reactions can get, even in private, supposedly calm settings.
Beyond the laughs, the moment feels like a very modern cultural snapshot. A classic story, a private screening, and complete chaos fueled by internet-era celebrity fixation. Margot Robbie hosting the night only adds to the absurdity, making it feel both glamorous and wildly relatable.
If nothing else, her story proves one thing very clearly. Jacob Elordi’s appeal is not just strong, it is uncontrollable.
