Jacob Elordi talked about the controversial bathtub water scene from Saltburn.
“I actually think it shows me just how prudish we are,” he said. “Because when I watch that, I just think there’s far more extreme things in cinema that I’ve seen, far more graphic.”
“There’s more alarming things in the top 10 streamed remakes of crime documentaries on every streaming platform.”
In comparison Saltburn is “a piece of fiction with something just a little taboo.”
“And that makes people’s skin crawl,” he mused. “It’s an interesting parallel.”
