He's incredible and I believe in him so much. I honestly think he's our generation's Daniel Day-Lewis."
"There was one Instagram comment that said the casting director should be shot. But just wait till you see it, and then you can decide whether you want to shoot me or not. But you really don't need to be accurate. It's just a book. That is not based on real life. It's all art."

Margot Robbie defends Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, in which Robbie plays Cathy and Jacob Elordi plays Heathcliff. The film has attracted criticism for casting choices and character alterations, particularly for casting Elordi as a character Brontë described as dark-skinned and a lascar. Robbie praised Elordi's performance and urged audiences to wait to judge, comparing him to Daniel Day-Lewis. Critics have also questioned Robbie's casting given age and hair-color differences from the novel's description. Casting director Kharmel Cochrane acknowledged online backlash and urged viewers to see the film before judging, emphasizing artistic interpretation.
