Margot Robbie has commented on the tabloid rumor that she had a fling with her married Focus co-star Will Smith. She said that the two were just innocently “goofing around” in the pictures, which were published by the Star tabloid.
“Been working non-stop, just catching my breath. There's absolutely no truth to the ridiculous rumor in Star mag,” Robbie wrote on Twitter. “It's disappointing that goofing around on set could be taken so out of context.”
The 23-year-old Australian actress’ comments followed a Star magazine report that included photos of a shirtless Smith and Robbie, who is seen lifting her skirt in one picture. On the cover, the magazine suggested that the photos would end Smith’s marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith. “The photos that will tear them apart,” the cover reads.
Later, a source told Us Weekly that Pinkett Smith is doing “great,” despite the photos.
Another insider explained that the photos were taken at a photo booth that was on the film’s set. “It was the last day of filming and everyone was taking pictures,” the insider told Us Weekly. “They were just goofing around. Will is just like that. There's nothing more to it.”
Robbie is known for roles in Pan Am and also stars in Rachel McAdams’ new movie, About Time.
