“So I went to clean my feet, and I leant back and my back seared into the steam knob,” he added. “And I stood up screaming; it tore up my back. When I went to work on Monday I had a second-degree burn.”
The incident left Emerald shaken up, until she says she realized that Jacob was, in fact, okay.
“I think that was in the first week of shooting,” Emerald recalled to Jacob. “I got a text from Josey McNamara, the producer, saying, ‘Jacob’s in hospital.’ Obviously, I thought, ‘Oh my God, he’s had a car accident,’ and then he was like, ‘He’s burnt his back in the shower.’”
As for if Jacob channeled Daniel Day-Lewis—who is known for going to extremes for his roles—the Euphoria actor quipped, “It was actual Daniel Day-Lewis.”
Physical reminders aside, Jacob also walked away from filming forming a strong bond with his costar Margot Robbie, who plays Catherine in the film. In fact, the Barbie star noted their she became deeply “codependent” with him “quite quickly.”
“I remember the first couple days on set, he would just be like, always in the vicinity of where I was, but in a corner watching,” Margot, 35, recalled in a Jan. 14 panel Fandango interview alongside the cast and crew. “On the third day, I found myself starting to look around to see where he was. I was like, ‘Well obviously he’s going to be somewhere close by. Where is he right now?”
“I felt quite lost. Like a kid without their blanket or something,” she added of the moments when Jacob wasn’t around. “I was like, ‘Where is he?’”
For Jacob, the feeling was “mutual,” as he put it, “I was enamored by her.”
