Margot & Tom ‘We Can't Carry On Like This!'

The couple may need to rethink their strategy of making movies together

In 2014, when Margot Robbie’s star was only just beginning its upward trajectory and she was still largely hanging out in a London share flat with her boyfriend Tom Ackerley and their mates, the couple hatched a plan.

With her a talented young actress and him showing plenty of promise behind the cameras, Margot and Tom, both 30, created film production company LuckyChap – and promised each other they wouldn’t let work dampen their relationship.

Six years later, the pair are married and split their time between London and Los Angeles, where LuckyChap was behind hits including I, Tonya and Birds Of Prey – starring, of course, Margot.

But now their steamy new film Dreamland is set for release and sources tell Woman’s Day the sizzling sex scenes between Margot and British hunk Finn Cole, 25, have caused an uncomfortable rift between husband and wife.

PAINFUL SCENES TO WATCH

“Tom knows chemistry is essential when it comes to making a good drama, but given he’s not an actor, it can be a struggle for him to understand how Margot can portray so much attraction to another man while feeling nothing,” says a source. “Especially in this movie. He’s watched them act out a particularly erotic shower scene so many times he’s starting to question his sanity.”

It doesn’t help that Margot sings Finn’s praises at every available opportunity. Last week she described the Peaky Blinders star as “the perfect scene partner” and a “dream come true” to work with.
