Margot Robbie who starred and had an amazing chemistry with Will Smith in Focus revealed how she managed to get the role by being imperfect

How Calling Will Smith a “D*ck” Got Margot Robbie a Role Alongside Him in ’Focus&#8217;

Margot Robbie once landed a major role by calling Will Smith a d*ck. The two
certainly brewed up some rumors due to their amazing chemistry on the sets of
Focus. The comedy action flick showed both their on and off-screen chemistry. It
proved to be a major turn in Robbie’s career. But it was not just her acting
skills that got her the job.

Celebrities often have to be ready to rush once an opportunity for a role gets
them a call. But it is an extra challenge for newbies when being cast against an
already established A-list actor. In an interview, the Harley Quinn fame once
revealed how she managed to bag the role opposite Smith back in 2015.


THIS IS HOW MARGOT ROBBIE LANDED HER ROLE IN FOCUS ALONGSIDE WILL SMITH

It can be daunting for a new actor to audition with someone as big as Will
Smith. But Robbie did it, and in her own way. Margot Robbie revealed to
Entertainment Weekly
[https://ew.com/article/2015/02/19/how-margot-robbie-told-will-smith/] how she
and Smith began improvising. He said something to her, and she responded with,
“you’re such a d*ck.” While leaving, Smith told the crew that he liked her. It
turned into a joke about him liking her for calling him a d*ck.



Her audition was truly unique for another reason: she was wearing in wet,
spoiled clothes. She was in Hvar, Croatia, on a backpacking trip with her
brother. Not only did she lose her baggage when traveling fast to New York, but
she also appeared at the location in ripped shorts and a wet pajama top.
However, the makers thought of it as a fresh look and loved that since it gave a
glimpse of what to expect.

To this day, the actress jokes about how she likely got the role for dressing up
shabbily and calling Smith a d*ck. But despite all of that, she developed a
great bond with the Emancipation actor that led to rumors.


THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE TWO ACTORS LED TO SOME STEAMY SPECULATIONS

Despite their 22-year-old age difference, the chemistry between the Focus actors
was undeniable. There were, in fact, rumors of an affair between them. Their
after-hours pictures from a photo booth only add fuel to the fire.

It apparently also generated worry for Jada Pinkett Smith back then. The two
have not worked together ever since, even though the movie ended up being
successful.
