Margot Robbie Will Smith

Nicky (Will Smith) is drinking, alone, in a posh New York City hotel restaurant when a gorgeous blonde, Jess (Margot Robbie of The Wolf of Wall Street), begins having some trouble with a gentleman at the bar. She approaches Nicky and asks whether he’d mind pretending to be her boyfriend, which is kind of like asking anyone with a pulse -- man or woman, gay or straight – whether they’d mind pretending to be Margot Robbie’s boyfriend.

Robbie is gorgeous, and her chemistry with Smith is palpable. Small talk leads to flirtation, which leads to Jess’ hotel room, which leads to her “husband” bursting through the door and threatening Nicky’s life at gunpoint; at which point Nicky insists the jealous husband shoot him.

When

The husband, perplexed, doesn’t know how to handle the situation. Turns out, Nicky has known all along he was being conned, because he’s a con man, too.

Inside The Rumors That Will Smith Had An Affair With Margot Robbie While Married To Jada Pinkett Smith

Nicky points out the flaws in Jess’ con, gives a few tips and leaves. It’s a telling scene because it telegraphs what the rest of the movie will be: enjoyable and aesthetically pleasing, but just a little too cute and convenient.

Nicky isn’t just a con man; he runs a multimillion-dollar network of cons. He employs freelancers to work major events, like the Super Bowl, and Jess wants a piece of the action. She also wants a piece of Nicky. And off we go.

These two like each other, but their lack of morality is this story’s major flaw. As great as “Focus” is to look at, and as charming as Smith and Robbie are, it was difficult to fully invest in either of them because, at their core, Nicky and Jess are despicably selfish people.

Was Will Smith Criticized By Jada Smith For Dating Margot Robbie While She Was In A Relationship With August Alsina?

There’s also a wild card here, and that’s Adrian Martinez. The journeyman actor, probably best known to most as the Cheesehead fan from the State Farm insurance commercials starring Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, steals scenes in “Focus” as Farhad, Nicky’s right-hand man and good friend. Martinez is flat out, R-rated funny.

“Focus” is, overall, entertaining and surprisingly unpredictable. Though when I say unpredictable, what I mean is some of the twists are imaginative. And when I say imaginative, I mean impossible. Even so, Focus provides some fun moments, though that lack of empathy for the main players ultimately makes it a less-than-satisfying experience.Please subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates from Your Next Shoes.

Neither Margot nor Will has ever indicated that their relationship is anything but platonic. Additionally, Will and actress Jada Pinkett Smith have been married for years, and Margot recently tied the knot with British producer and director Tom Ackerley.

Will Smith & Margot Robbie Cheating Rumors Resurface After Jada Pinkett Smith Affair Admission!

The affair rumors first started during the filming of “Focus, ” back in 2013. Insiders claimed the two became cozy on set with each other — even going so far as to miss the wrap party in favor of hanging out together in Will’s trailer.

Star Magazine also ran a story claiming the two were spotted taking a photo in a photo booth, where Will Smith appeared topless and Margot lifted her shirt up to reveal her lingerie.

When the American superhero film “Suicide Squad” was released in 2016, the rumors started flying again. People noticed the intense chemistry between them, which fans seemed to pick up on during the film.

When the rumors started in 2013, then-23-year-old Margot took to Twitter to address the claims and rumors. She claimed she was disappointed that her working relationship with Will had been blown out of proportion and out of context.

Margot took her stance a step further in 2015, publicly expressing her decision to no longer date actors. According to her, being in a relationship with another high-profile individual only added unnecessary stress to the partnership.

Despite Margot’s vehement denial, Will Smith has never commented on the affair rumors. It recently came to light that his wife Jada had an affair, but the married couple is now back together, claiming unconditional love.

While age differences among actors are generally not a significant concern, the presence of affair rumors often leads fans to pay closer attention to birthdays and generational gaps.

Regarding their ages, Margot was born in 1990 and turned 31 on July 2, 2021. Will, on the other hand, was born in 1968 and celebrated his 53rd birthday on September 25, 2021. The age gap between them is approximately 22 years.

Will and Margot explained that the photo booth rumor was unfounded and that their friendship posed no threat to Will and Jada’s marriage.

In 2016, Margot tied the knot with her now-husband Tom. Apparently, they struck it off right from the start and have even created a production company together.

Apparently, when Margot and Will were first cast together, Jada admired Margot’s talent, and reportedly has since never felt threatened by any of the rumors that have gone around.

Will recently spent some time during an interview elaborating on how he and Jada have defined their marriage as it has evolved through the years. The “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” star said the two prioritize their friendship and want the best for each other.

So, it looks like affair rumors are totally unfounded. Both actors seem to be in happy, fulfilling relationships, and both spouses seem to be nonchalant about the working relationship between Will and Margot.

Jada recently revealed that she’d had an affair outside her marriage, and Will admitted that both he and his wife had made mistakes that could have endangered their marriage.

Margot

Given the on-screen chemistry between the two actors, we’re sure that another movie featuring the two will re-ignite the rumors once again.

Margot left a trail of envious sighs with her bold and unique sartorial choices at the red carpet premieres of “Suicide Squad” held in 2016.

The dress, which is from the Gucci Pre-Fall 2016 collection, stands out due to the fine tiger embroidery at the bodice and the leaves and floral appliqués that adorn the straps and the waist area of the dress.
