In the world of Hollywood, it’s not unusual for celebrities to be linked together after working on a project. But if these rumors involve a married celebrity, they quickly turn into headlines. This is exactly what happened when Will Smith and Margot Robbie got involved in an affair scandal.
What started with a photo booth picture of the duo going viral quickly escalated into a full-blown media highlight. This forced Robbie’s mother to come forward to offer the Barbie actress a word of caution for the future.
Margot Robbie’s Mom Gave Her Valuable Advice for the Future Amidst Will Smith Affair Rumor
When one talks about controversies in Hollywood, more often than not, Will Smith‘s name be likely to pop up in the conversation. While Smith is among the most bankable actors in the industry, he’s also no stranger to controversies. In recent years, it’s his infamous Oscar slap scandal that got him banned from the prestigious awards.
But almost a decade ago, the actor found himself in hot water when his photo booth pictures with Margot Robbie went viral. These rumors were quite serious given that the actor was married to Jada Pinkett Smith at the time. On the other hand, Margot Robbie was trying her luck in Hollywood as a seemingly new actress.
The rumor mill of their alleged affair started when they were working together on the 2013 movie Focus. Several sources close to the set revealed that the actors were getting too close on set, and Robbie even skipped the movie’s wrap-up party to spend some time with the actor in his trailer.
Star Magazine (via Clutch Points), further adding to the controversy, reported a picture in which Smith was shirtless and Robbie was lifting her shirt to reveal her lingerie.
The affair whispers reached Robbie’s family as well, with her mother cautioning the actress to be more careful. The actress revealed during an interview that those affair rumors “came out of nowhere and nothing.” Further, her mom Sarie Kessler told her, “Margot, be careful next time you’re at a party.”
Though Robbie has talked about the affair scandal time and again, Will Smith, on the other hand, has mostly kept quiet on the subject.
Margot Robbie Expecting Her First Child With Tom Ackerly
While Smith and Robbie’s alleged scandal erupted in 2013, it was in the same year that she met her future husband Tom Ackerly on the set of Suite Française. He was working as an assistant director, and she was involved as an actress. Despite this, sparks flew between the duo, and they began dating each other in 2014.
In an interview with Vogue in 2016, the actress added that she was not looking for any relationship when “the best-looking guy in London” grabbed her attention. After dating for a couple of years, the duo secretly got married in 2016 on Australia’s Gold Coast.
Now, after being married for almost 8 years, the couple is expecting their first child together. The actress was also recently spotted at various events, caressing her baby bump.
