In 2013, a viral photo booth picture of Will Smith and Margot Robbie ignited intense scrutiny and affair rumors. The alleged scandal made headlines due to Smith’s marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith.
“I wasn’t looking for a relationship, but then I met the best-looking guy in London,” Margot Robbie said in a 2016 Vogue interview, referring to her future husband Tom Ackerly, not Will Smith.
Sources close to the set of Focus revealed the actors’ close behavior, with Robbie skipping the wrap-up party to spend time with Smith in his trailer. “They were getting too close on set,” a source said.
Star Magazine reported a photo of Smith shirtless and Robbie lifting her shirt, fueling the controversy. “Margot, be careful next time you’re at a party,” Robbie’s mother, Sarie Kessler, cautioned her.
Robbie denied the rumors, saying they “came out of nowhere and nothing.” Smith has remained largely quiet on the subject.
