‘Hot’ Wuthering Heights move women are desperate for their partners to do

Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights has well and truly split critics down the middle - but there is one scene in particular that women are obsessing over.

The steamy adaptation of Emily Brontë's 1847 classic novel, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as star-crossed lovers Cathy and Heathcliff, dropped in cinemas around the world on 13 February.

While some viewers left the cinema sobbing and declaring it the greatest film ever created, others are boycotting it completely.

One major difference between Fennell's adaptation and the original text is the amount of X-rated scenes - we're talking a lot of yearning, sex, finger-sucking, and ahem, masturbating against a rock in the Yorkshire moors.

But there is one scene that's not particularly saucy, but has the girlies in a chokehold.

We're talking about when Heathcliff and Cathy are having a conversation in the pouring rain outside Wuthering Heights, and he uses his hands to shelter her face.

Cathy holds her hands in front of her forehead to shield her eyes from the downpour, before Heathcliff replaces her hands with his own, cupping them over her eyes.

It's been dubbed the ultimate act of love by viewers and has seriously set the bar for all the partners out there.

While it's not the most X-rated scene, especially compared to some of the others in the movie, it's seriously stood out to viewers as one of the most romantic moments.

One X user wrote: "The sexiest scene in Wuthering Heights was when Heathcliff was covering Catherine’s eyes from the rain."

And according to Metro, a TikTok user joked: "Sitting in the damn car knowing damn well no one is going to cover my eyes in the damn rain."

While a third added: "Just the thought of someone thinking to shield someone else instead of themselves is so beautiful."

Robbie and Elordi were even about the stand-out moment in an interview with ScreenRant, where the journalist admitted it's one of 'the hottest things she's ever seen'.

The actress gushed: "So romantic," before turning to her co-star and adding, "You still don't understand why that's romantic, do you?"

The pair confirmed that the sweet moment was actually improvised and not in the script at all. Elordi simply did it in rehearsal, and it stuck.

Robbie said, "He did that in rehearsal to actually shield my face from the rain, just instinctively, because he's a gentleman.

"And Emerald and I were both like, 'Do that again in the scene, for the whole scene. That was amazing'".

TikTok users penned in the comments: "The fact he did it instinctively… was not directed to do that" and "I gasped when she said it wasn’t in the SCRIPT."

While another questioned: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WASN'T SCRIPTED," and someone else added: "Wow! Not even in the script, and he created the romance himself."

Others gushed: "I GASPSED when he did that in the movie," and "My standards have been raised."
