Margot Robbie Calls Jacob Elordi 'Our Generation's Daniel Day-Lewis'

Margot Robbie told Vogue U.K. she saw Jacob Elordi play Heathcliff and that "I honestly think he's our generation's Daniel Day-Lewis." Their wild Emily Brontë adaptation arrives just in time for Valentine's Day.

Elordi broke big in HBO's dark teen drama Euphoria as Nate Jacobs and has since appeared in Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, Emerald Fennell's Saltburn, Paul Schrader's Oh, Canada, and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, for which he's up for a Best Supporting Actor award at next month's 98th Oscars.

Robbie's comparison invokes Day-Lewis's Method approach and storied career — three Oscars for My Left Foot, There Will Be Blood and Lincoln, plus an iconic turn in Gangs of New York. The piece suggests Elordi would need to adopt the Method way of acting and choose projects more ruthlessly to truly earn the title; he is only five movie credits short of Day-Lewis' current 22.
