Overview
- Elordi says he burned his back on a protruding brass steam knob while cleaning his feet in the shower at the house where he was staying during production.
- Emerald Fennell recalls a producer texting in the first week of filming that Elordi was in the hospital, later learning it was a shower burn rather than a car accident.
- He described the injury as a second-degree burn and returned to work shortly after, with no reports of schedule changes or delays.
- The mishap followed a joking exchange with make-up artist Siân Miller about Method-style commitment, which Elordi later quipped was “actual Daniel Day-Lewis. In the shower.”
- Warner Bros. is moving ahead with a Feb. 13 theatrical release as discussion over Elordi’s casting as Heathcliff continues, with Margot Robbie having publicly defended his performance.
