The celebrity duo, appearing in films like Focus (2015) and Suicide Squad (2016), has long been an unlikely candidate for rumors regarding their close relationship with each other. The friendship which blossomed on the sets of Focus pit the then 23-year-old Margot Robbie with the A-lister, Will Smith, as the two spearheaded their first romance crime drama alongside each other. However, rumors started floating around when the pair skipped the film’s wrap party to spend their evening in Will Smith’s trailer.

There’s absolutely no truth to the ridiculous rumor in Star mag…” (referring to The New York Post story about their New Orleans party). Over the years, the speculations died down and reports indicated that the pair were initially hesitant about filming Suicide Squad together, but eventually found their way onto the sets of the David Ayer movie, which took the brunt of the steam due to its lackluster execution and similar reception, allowing Robbie and Smith to avoid being the subject of any further controversy.
