Aniston's Wuthering Heights Joke Goes Viral
19 Feb
Summary
- Jennifer Aniston joked about not needing to read Wuthering Heights.
- Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi star in the new adaptation.
- The film covers only the first half of Emily Brontë's novel.
Jennifer Aniston recently sparked online conversation with a throwback clip from Friends, humorously suggesting she could skip reading "Wuthering Heights." The Friends snippet showed her character, Rachel, admitting she hadn't read the book for a class. Aniston captioned her Instagram post, "Thanks to Margot and Jacob, no reading required," referencing the new film adaptation starring Robbie and Elordi as the novel's iconic, albeit toxic, pseudo-siblings Cathy and Heathcliff.
Robbie, who stars as Cathy, shared that she discovered the world of "Wuthering Heights" through the film's script before reading the book. Elordi, portraying Heathcliff, found his connection to the character solidified while filming on the Yorkshire moors, capturing the atmospheric essence described in Emily Brontë's novel. However, the new film adaptation directed by Emerald Fennell only covers the first half of the book, with altered plot points and omitted characters, as Fennell aimed for her personal interpretation rather than a direct retelling.
