Jacob Elordi on injuring himself while filming Wuthering Heights
In an interaction with Esquire, Jacob Elordi shared the filming was disrupted after an accident involving himself. He said, “If Daniel Day-Lewis were playing Heathcliff, he would have come in with scars. I said, 'Well, I'm going to go away and maim myself on the weekend to prove to you that I'm Heathcliff! That night I went home, and the house I was staying in had a steam shower: a brass knob that steam came out of the wall from.”

He further stated, "The full story is that, when I was doing Frankenstein, I had so much make-up in my fingers and in my feet all the time, and I left it on for the whole shoot because I couldn't be bothered washing it all off. As Heathcliff, I was covered in mange and dirt, and I thought, "I am not going to do that again; I'm going to clean my feet properly every night and come in to work fresh the next day."
