Tom & Charlotte: Love Blossomed on Wuthering Heights Set
8 Feb
Summary
- Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley met filming Wuthering Heights in 2009.
- Their on-screen chemistry led to a real-life romance and marriage.
- They now have two children together, a testament to their lasting bond.
The 2009 ITV adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights unexpectedly became the genesis of a long-lasting real-life romance between its stars, Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley. Their palpable on-screen chemistry as Heathcliff and Catherine reportedly became so intense that director Coky Giedroyc had to frequently call "Cut!".
Following their meeting on set in 2009, Hardy and Riley's relationship transitioned from professional to personal. They married in 2014 and have since welcomed two children. This enduring partnership predates Emerald Fennell's recent gothic remake starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, which also features notable chemistry between its leads.
Robbie and Elordi have mirrored Hardy and Riley's journey by displaying significant chemistry during their film's press tour. Their interactions, including matching skeleton rings symbolizing "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same," have drawn comparisons to Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell's promotional tactics. Elordi described a "mutual obsession" while filming, and Robbie noted becoming "co-dependent" on him.
