Will Smith has had a successful career in Hollywood, but after his bombshell 2022 Oscar slap gate incident, his reputation has turned topsy-turvy in showbiz. Nevertheless, the actor is back in action and working on multiple upcoming projects. The Men in Black movie star is married to his beautiful wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, whom he first met in 1990 on the set of the popular sitcom Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. 

Since then, the couple has led a prosperous life. Though their relationship has had its fair share of highs and lows, they have remained on each other’s side. The Academy Award-winning actor has starred in dozens of movies alongside A-list talents, like Barbie movie star Margot Robbie.

The actor shared the silver screen with the actress in the 2015 American crime comedy-drama Focus. Both stars did a phenomenal job in the flick. However, their undeniable chemistry fueled their off-screen romance rumors, after which many speculated that Robbie and the actor were in a romantic relationship.

Fans raised eyebrows and questioned Will Smith’s loyalty after he co-starred with Margot Robbie in their 2015 film Focus. At the time, when the two were filming this movie, sources dished that they were getting close on the movie set. An insider told Star Magazine,
“He wasn’t acting like a married man. He gave no signs that he was in a committed relationship. What kind of married man would go into a photo booth with a sexy 23-year-old and start to undress?”
Their rumored relationship set the internet on fire when steamy pictures featuring him with The Wolf of Wall Street star lifting their clothes while posing for the camera inside the photo booth went viral. Robbie and Will Smith again teamed up together for their 2016 superhero film Suicide Squad. Both the actors had never publicly addressed or commented on their rumored love affair.

In a candid interview, Will Smith talked about his experience working with the talented actress Margot Robbie. The actor revealed that he thought she would not get the part, claiming they were different. Smith said,
“When Margot came to read for the role, she didn’t think that there was any chance she was gonna get it because of how different we are. I’m 46, and Margot was 23 when we were filming, I’m from Philly, and she’s from Australia, and then there’s obvious genetic differences [laughs]. But for some reason, it just worked perfectly. We see it on screen, none of those questions come up. It’s like a wonderful puzzle, and it works very well.”
Glenn Ficarra-directed 2015 American crime comedy-drama Focus featuring Will Smith and Margot Robbie earned critical acclaim and grossed $158 million at the global box office.
