Will Smith, the Men in Black star, has always been in some or other controversy throughout his career. While Smith became the king of controversy in 2022 for all the drama that unfolded during the Oscar ceremony, the actor did not have any less drama back in the day. Even back in 2013, the actor was making news after he clicked some racy photos with Barbie star Margot Robbie.

Will Smith Couldn’t Keep His Hand off Margot Robbie

Will Smith was making headlines in 2013 for his unprofessional behavior with then-23-year-old co-star Margot Robbie. Both Robbie and Smith were working on Focus and during the process, the actors seemed to have gotten pretty close to each other which also sparked rumors of their affairs.

All of this started when Smith and Robbie had a rather racy photo shoot during their cast party in New Orleans. As reported by Pig Six, despite being married Smith was not acting like he was and was also seen getting all cozy with Robbie. Talking about this source reported “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?”

The sources also reported that even when the curtains were pulled back, both of them were seen laughing, hugging, and nuzzling each other in the dark. Not only this it was also reported that even after the photo shoot, Robbie hopped onto Smith’s back and they headed towards his trailer. Talking about this the sources said, “After they left the party, they were gone all night.” 

While the rumors were once said to have affected Smith’s marriage, the couple has stood strong and are still together.
