Margot Robbie is setting the record straight after internet chatter suggested she had described herself as “co-dependent” with Jacob Elordi while working together. According to Robbie, the comments were misunderstood and blown far out of proportion.
Speaking about the rumors, Robbie explained that what she meant was much simpler. She and Elordi enjoyed working together and had a genuinely fun experience on set. There was no deeper meaning behind the remark, and certainly nothing as dramatic as the headlines suggested.
The speculation began after Robbie spoke candidly about how intense film sets can be, especially when actors spend long hours together building emotional chemistry for a project. Fans quickly ran with the idea, interpreting her words as a confession of an unusually close or complicated dynamic. Robbie now says that interpretation misses the point entirely.
Film productions often create a unique environment where actors bond quickly. Long shooting schedules, rehearsals, and promotional work can create friendships that feel intense in the moment but are simply part of the collaborative process. Robbie emphasized that this was the context in which her comment was made.
The actress also made it clear that she prefers audiences to focus on the work itself rather than on exaggerated narratives about her personal relationships with co-stars. She has consistently maintained a relatively private personal life despite being one of the most recognizable actors in the world.
Robbie and Elordi have both been in the spotlight recently, with fans closely following their projects and public appearances. That level of attention often leads to speculation, especially when interviews or offhand remarks are taken out of context and circulated online without the full conversation attached.
For Robbie, the takeaway is simple. It was a fun collaboration, nothing more, nothing less. And sometimes, what looks dramatic in headlines is just two actors doing their jobs and enjoying the process.
