The performance at the Oscars gala by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga to the rhythm of Shallow is still remembered. The song, which was awarded as the best original song, was performed with so much chemistry by the singer and the actor that rumors soon emerged about a possible romance that arose during the filming of A Star is Born. At that time, in 2019, Bradley was dating actress Irina Shayk, and social media comments wondered how the model was taking the closeness between her partner and Lady Gaga.
Something similar is happening now to Tom Ackerley, Margot Robbie's husband. The actress is in full promotion of the movie Wuthering Heights and her co-star is one of the most desired men on the planet, Jacob Elordi. It's practically impossible to scroll through social media without coming across Elordi's face - or torso - alongside a string of comments praising his remarkable beauty.
Throughout the promotion of the film, which premieres this weekend, Robbie and Elordi have not held back in compliments towards each other. Nor in looks that seemed to continue portraying the characters from the adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic. Soon, rumors began to circulate suggesting that there was much more than just a co-worker attitude between the two. There have been so many images showing them with extreme complicity that it was inevitable for social media to remember Margot Robbie's husband.
Tom has become the subject of memes and the target of comments questioning why he wasn't showing discomfort over the excessive chemistry between his wife and Jacob. Margot Robbie has made many statements praising her co-star, including saying that she "felt lost" every time she couldn't find Elordi on set. She added that, in a scene where Jacob lifted her with one arm and protected her with the other, "it left her legs trembling." Also, that the actor had filled the actress's room with roses on Valentine's Day last year.
Despite everything, Ackerley has not spoken out and has reasons to be calm. The actress married him in 2016, they are business partners, and they also have a child together who was born in 2024.
