MARGOT Robbie won millions of fans when she stripped off in The Wolf Of Wall Street — but among Hollywood’s jealous wives she is piling up enemies.The Sun reports that the Aussie’s sizzling chemistry with her leading men is so scorchingly obvious that at times it has sparked paranoia and distrust among even the movie world’s most solid couples.In some fearful circles she has even been dubbed “the new Angelina Jolie” — the biggest threat to A-list marriages since Angie bagged the then-married Brad Pitt 12 years ago.The most explosive rumour to date involves Robbieand Will Smith, whose scenes together as lovers in last year’s comedy thriller Focus radiated such red-hot energy they were close to being a fire risk.An insider said: “Jada was furious. She saw them on the red carpet together — they were all over each other.“She has known Will for more than 20 years so it is pretty obvious when he has the hots for someone. And she doesn’t trust Margot one bit.” By that stage Pinkett Smith had already had to endure scrutiny of her marriage when photos emerged of dad-of-three Smith getting cosy with Robbie in a photo book during the filming of Focus in late 2013.The actor quickly took to Twitter to say it was just a bit of messing around, fuming: “It’s disappointing that goofing around on set could be taken so out of context.”
But after their tactile red-carpet display, rumours raced around that Hollywood golden couple Will and Jada were on the verge of divorce.The stars have denied the claims, with Pinkett Smith saying four months after the premiere: “You’ve got to trust who you’re with, and at the end of the day I’m not here to be anybody’s watcher. I’m not his watcher — he’s a grown man.” She must have some faith — because Smith was back filming with Robbie again last year on upcoming superhero blockbuster Suicide Squad.In fact he is not even the only A-lister in Suicide Squad to be reportedly smitten.Ben Affleck plays Batman in the flick and when he and wife Jennifer Garner revealed they were to divorce last June — one day after their tenth wedding anniversary — it was said that Ben, 43, had been growing close to Queensland-born Margot during filming in Canada.A source said at the time: “Ben has had the hots for Margot since he saw her in Wolf Of Wall Street. As far as he is concerned, Margot is the sexiest woman in Hollywood right now.” The beauty was also linked to True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard, 39, who is fashion guru Alexa Chung’s current boyfriend and Robbie’s co-star in another upcoming film, The Legend Of Tarzan.Last January, while attending the Sundance Film Festival in Utah together, Robbie and Skarsgard were spotted partying in a pop-up club.Despite all the romance rumours, Robbie has maintained a steady relationship with her British boyfriend Tom Ackerley, who has been an assistant director on films including Grimsby.She has also publicly said she would never get involved with a fellow actor.“I made a conscious decision not to date actors,” Robbie said.The pair met when they both worked on 2014 flick Suite Francaise.At one point it was even thought that they had secretly married, when they were spotted wearing identical gold bands on their wedding fingers last June. But Robbie has admitted that her hectic work schedule makes maintaining a romance difficult.She revealed that all the travel takes its toll, saying: “I don’t know how anyone makes a relationship [like this] work, to be honest.”But her mum Sarie Kessler has no doubt the pair are the real deal.She said of her daughter: “She loves Tom, he’s the one. He’s the man in her life — he’s a gorgeous and delightful person.”
