In the talks of sharing the spotlight with Hollywood heavyweights, Margot Robbie has had her fair share of luck. She has been associated with prominent names like Will Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio. Yet, it is her dynamic with Smith, particularly in their collaboration on two films, that has truly captivated conversations. The chemistry between the Suicide Squad actress and her co-star has been so electric that it even sparked rumors about their potential romantic involvement.

The journey, however, was not without its bumps from the very beginning. Robbie shed light on her initial meeting with her Suicide Squad co-star during a movie audition.

Margot Robbie’s first encounter with Will Smith

“It turned into the wildest 24 hours of my life,” Robbie recalled as per Entertainment Weekly in 2015 recounting her struggles, soaked and determined. Despite the odds, she managed to make it to the audition on time. But interestingly, Smith’s journey did not align as smoothly. His absence sparked a situation where Robbie had to call him out, ultimately grabbing her the role. This did cast a shadow over their initial interaction and left an indelible, albeit not-so-positive, impression.

As time unfolded, this dynamic evolved into a blazing chemistry on screen. Yet, behind the scenes, Robbie harbored her own reservations about her pairing with the Emancipation star.

Smith and Robbie’s not so sure chemistry

Robbie and Smith teamed up in Focus and Suicide Squad, but it was their captivating on-screen chemistry in the former that stole the show, sparking rumors of a real-life romance. Despite initial doubts stemming from their significant age difference, they found their on-screen connection to be natural and seamless as they delved into their roles.

In a candid conversation with Red Carpet News TV, they discussed the unexpected magic they discovered in their partnership for Focus, where Robbie described their synergy as puzzle pieces fitting perfectly together, and Smith playfully joked about their “genetic differences” due to age. These concerns vanished during rehearsals, and their undeniable bond translated effortlessly to the screen.
