Jacob Elordi has defended Wuthering Heights for adding multiple wild sex scenes that weren't in the original book.

As soon as Wuthering Heights came out in cinemas, the movie divided viewers for making changes to Emily Brontë's novel of the same name. While the essence of both Cathy (Margot Robbie) and Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi) is similar to the book, many key plot details have been changed and several major characters are missing from the movie.

Most notably, the movie is much raunchier than the book and now Jacob Elordi has explained why they changed it.
