Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie talk ‘yearning’ and movie crushes ｜ Capital

Guys, I have to say, I'm quite giddy being in all three of your presence right now. There's just so much buzz around this movie and you guys. And, you know, it's it's an honour. And the film was absolutely fantastic. I want to start with a round of applause for your sideburns, Jacob, because, you know, if it wasn't for those, I don't know if we'd all be here right now. Is that is that right, Emod? Yeah, I mean, I think that did. I think that's the main it's the glue that's really kept this whole this whole thing together. No, I mean, I think we should just do a shout out to Sean Miller, who's the incredible hair and makeup artist who was in charge of sideburns, in charge of Kathy's corset hairstyle, which I'm just like already seeing people trying to recreate, which is the best thing ever. Yeah, I feel like it's definitely a cultural thing about this movie that we're going to remember for years to come. It reminds me of watching like the Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet or, you know, those movies where you go, this was so different to what I was expecting. I couldn't have imagined it. And you can see it's already starting. There's an online trend at the minute of yearning. Have you seen this? There's like a TikTok trend where people just want to yearn. Is this like when that trend of like raw dogging on a flight? Sorry, sorry, excuse you. Isn't that what they called it? I swear I didn't label that just then. OK, I'm getting nods in the room. I didn't make that name up. Excuse you. That is what the internet called it, where people would catch flights and like not listen to anything, not watch anything, just sit and like stare straight ahead for the entire flight. I thought you meant you had your digits out like raw dogging on a flight. It's like, oh, get your dogs out, like you feed your toes off and someone else's feet. Feral. I haven't had a bite or so lately. I suppose it kind of is similar, because that idea is that you're going a bit old school and not having any stimulus. And yearning is people saying, you know, everyone's dating so fast these days and everything's like, you know, dating apps swiping. I love that it's like a trend to have a feeling. It's like the new trend is like a feeling or like love. You've heard of love? Waiting for something. Yeah, we don't. Well, we never wait for anything anymore, do we? Everything's instant. And I suppose I know the relationship, you know, it's got its toxic ways. But at the heart of it, I think people are saying, you know, I just want someone to really love me that intensely and sort of work for it kind of thing. For sure. Yeah. I mean, yeah, back in this day, I feel like a glance across the room could sustain you for years. You'd be like, I've just promised my heart to that person because they looked at me kindly. Think about it for a decade and then we'll get married. But isn't that still the same? I mean, don't people have like relationships in their heads from somebody they met at a dinner party once ten years ago? Yeah. And they left and they thought, maybe if I went home with that person, then and then and then, boom, we live in a lighthouse. We have eight children. Maybe that's just me. I think we all have this. Yeah, I think you're probably right. We do. I remember I fell in love with a candlestick from Beauty and the Beast when I was a kid. Lumiere was quite the flirt. So he was fit, Margot, wasn't he? He was fit. Isn't it weird how animated things can like be attractive? Oh, for sure. And you're like, why is Simba hot? I'm so confused. On purpose. Yeah. And you know that that was their intention. We were just saying about Zootropolis, too. Who do you think seen that? No, it's Zootropolis in England and it's Zootopia in America. I can't tell you why. Why do they do that? It's like the Philosopher's Stone and the Sorcerer's Stone. It's confusing, but that film. Jason Bateman as a fox. Old, says it all, doesn't it? Just, you know, it's your right hand. Just our lady's heart throb. Foxy Jason Bateman. You guys look so incredible in this movie. And I know that Emerald, you always think about the costume, you know, very intensely, very in depth. For you, Margot, what was your favourite thing to wear? Because your outfits are already sort of like inspiring so much other fashion. I honestly, every day I came out and Alison and I would get, who plays Isabella in the movie, our dressing rooms were like next to each other and we'd come out at the same time and look at each other and just be like. So I feel like every day I picked a new favourite. But if I had to pick one today, the outfit I'm wearing on a swing with this amazing scene with Alison and it's recreating actually. Do you know what the painting is called? I can't think of it right now. Private Arts, The Swing. Mm hmm. What she said. And which seemed to be like a trendy outfit of the time because it was then worn by a different woman in a different painting at a different time. It was like maybe this woman was the original Kim Kardashian or something, just setting a trend. And then someone else was like, well, I want that dress on the swing. And they all kind of had a crack at it. Yeah, I did. And now we have two. Maybe it'll all come back in now. It's funny how these things come around, you know. It's it's a mad journey that it takes you on the film. And I left the cinema, you know, bawling my eyes out. I was just getting over it. Then a double decker bus passes me. Your faces are on it. I'm like, no, I can't do this again. It's traumatised. I'll go to you, Jacob. How have you found sort of almost letting go of this amazing journey in this character and these people? Oh, I mean, I feel like I'm in the middle of it because the second phase of making movies for me is the bit when you give it to the world. And it's a lot of people have seen it now and critics and things like that. But the world hasn't seen it yet. So I'm still sort of hanging on to it for the day of life. I haven't given it up yet. I suppose I didn't really think of that, but you are. You're now enjoying enjoying other people enjoying it. Yeah. And so that's quite cool getting the reaction. Yeah, yeah. Do you think you'll sneak into like a normal cinema and just peek on what everyone else is looking at? You know, I mean, I mean, for sure. Yeah, yeah. I want to I want to sneak into bathroom stalls at cinemas and just wait for the movie to come out. And just I want to see I want to hear the girls in there talking about the movie, cleaning up the mascara, running off their face or whatever. That's what I'm going to do. That honestly, that's going to make tickets sell. If I went to an Odin, I thought Margot could be in this toilet behind me. Just check the stalls. See what shoes have gone. Obviously, as well, I mean, for a massive proportion of the movie, you both are absolutely soaking wet. Emerald, did you ever feel the guilt in maybe like a dry robe? You're there all cozy saying action. No. She also was never cozy. She was like in the trees in like a gaffer's jacket, like with an iPad and like and there's one montage where she's like, keep going, keep kissing, keep kissing now. Yes, yes. Troll in the bushes next to us. She was always just as wet as us the whole time. And that's a great director. She's always there with you. Front line, straight in. I'm really doing God's work, you know, it's tough, but someone's got to do it. No, I mean, I think honestly, I just love, I just love, I just love doing it. I love working with these guys as well. And so it's you kind of I don't I don't understand people who are like but in Video Village, like behind miles away, like I'm there. I'm too close. I'm often like much too close looking. And then, you know, and it's just like it's just oh, it's just joy. Like watching these guys. And what's amazing is that every single take, the edit of this movie was like a nightmare because every take is completely different and perfect. And so you have to then sort of carve in this this new thing because you want I could make 50 versions of this film with the performances that these guys gave. Well, we'd lap it up. Please do, Trump, please do release. You know, the chemistry of all of you is so good. You can tell you that you're like the Avengers of filmmaking right now. You are because everything you guys do, I'm like enjoying. I just want more from you lot. I mean, I feel like you can recruit some others. I think Owen Cooper has to be one of the gang now in in future movies. You and Mitchell's very part of the gang. Yes. Love it. And I thought, you know, especially Margot at the minute, we're in a similar boat with toddlers. And I was thinking you probably don't have a lot of time to read, you know, the things like Wuthering Heights anymore, but some inspiration for you, maybe for the next movie. It could be fenneled. Could we go for the tiger who came for tea? Yes, but it's sexy. Yeah, it's sexy. It's the fox. Go on, make that erotic. OK, the very hungry caterpillar. Could that be fenneled? Do you reckon? I'm afraid so. Very hungry human caterpillar. Devouring things. Very hungry human caterpillar. OK, guys, we're pitching it. And finally, we're going on a bear hunt. That feels like it rides itself, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Those bears are getting hunted. Interesting. That one's very sad. I've never read it. Jacob, of all the books there. Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch. You've never read it? It is very well written. Well, yeah, I mean, I could see it was the tiger or the bear in this. I mean, have a think. What, the children? No, I feel like the very hungry caterpillar is the best option. You put your stamp on this story. I'll get into the rights after this. Oh, I know what this is. Yeah. We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What? Yeah, I don't know what that is. We're going to get eaten by the bear. Hey, that is a hard way, baby. Look at that frame. Oh, that's you. That's your addition. That's your addition just slowly walking away.
