Margot Robbie packs on the PDA with husband Tom Ackerley during intimate balcony moment in Italy
Margot Robbie and husband Tom Ackerley enjoyed a tender moment during their getaway to Naples, Italy on Friday. The Barbie star, 35, and the film producer, 35, packed on the PDA on the balcony of the Grand Hotel Parker's while taking in the historic views. Tom was pictured tenderly placing both hands on his wife's midriff while kissing her from behind, with Margot covering one of his hands with her own. The Australian actress — who gave birth to their first child last October — showed off her toned legs in a chic mini dress with an elephant print. Margot, who was recently tipped as favorite to star in a 'wild and orgasmic' reboot of the '90s cult classic Basic Instinct, completed the look with a pair of beige mesh flats. She wore her long golden tresses cascading down her shoulders as she sipped from a bottle of water. Meanwhile Tom — whom the star married in 2016 — sported a light button-up shirt and dark shorts. The two new parents are reportedly over the moon with their son. 'They waited a long time to get pregnant, so it was almost unbelievable when the baby actually arrived,' an insider told People in November. 'They've both been settling into being parents. They're homebodies so it's been lovely to spend the time just them, at home with him,' the insider added. 'They're so happy.' Margot's pregnancy was made public in July and the couple enjoyed a romantic 'babymoon' to Sardinia, Italy, at the end of August. The couple welcomed their son in October, and are yet to reveal their child's name. Tom and Margot first met in 2013 while working on Suite Française, where he was an assistant director, and she was in front of the camera. They cemented their relationship after moving in together with other friends in a four bed house in Clapham, South London, which according to Margot was the 'best days of my life'. The couple got married in 2016 and are co-producers on a number of projects, including Hulu's Dollface, through their production company LuckyChap Entertainment. 'I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,' Margot told Vogue in 2016. 'And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird, Margot. 'Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him. And then it happened, and I was like, of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.' It comes after Robbie has emerged as a favorite to star in a new reboot of Basic Instinct. The Wrap reported this week that Amazon MGM Studios' United Artists had acquired the rights to an as-yet-untitled reboot of the controversial 1992 erotic thriller. News of the reboot sent fans into a frenzy on social media, with many offering their pick to take on the film's antagonist Catherine Tramell, played in the original by Sharon Stone. 'OMG Margot Robbie would be perfect for this,' one film fan wrote on X,' while another offered a similar sentiment: 'remake it with Margot Robbie.' It seems the market agrees, with UK bookmaker William Hill placing the Barbie actress as one of the favorites to star. They currently have Margot at 3/1 odds, just behind Oppenheimer star Florence Pugh at 2/1. Other actresses in contention include Sydney Sweeney (5/1), Anya Taylor-Joy (6/1), Ana de Armas (8/1), and Jodie Comer (10/1). Pop star Lady Gaga, meanwhile, is the outside chance at 12/1 odds. Joe Eszterhas, the Hollywood veteran screenwriter behind the 1992 original, has inked a $4million deal to pen the reboot, the publication reported. The original Basic Instinct, starring Stone and Michael Douglas, was a box office phenomenon, grossing more than $350million globally. The film followed Douglas as Detective Nick Curran, who becomes embroiled in a dangerous seduction game with novelist Catherine Tramell (Stone), a prime suspect in a murder investigation. The film, known for its explicit content, including Stone's now-iconic interrogation scene, shot the actress into the stratosphere. Back in 2023, Stone revealed that Robbie would be the perfect choice to play her in a film adaptation of her life. 'I adore Margot Robbie so probably her,' she said on The Lady Gang Podcast in 2023. 'She is so talented. After I saw her playing Tonya Harding I was like you're it.'

Is Margot Robbie about to get ‘Basic'? Steamy reboot fuels casting frenzy
Hollywood may be about to get a lot steamier, again. Margot Robbie is emerging as the clear fan favourite to lead a reboot of Basic Instinct, the 1992 erotic thriller that made Sharon Stone a household name. The new film, described as 'wild and orgasmic,' is being developed by Amazon MGM Studios' United Artists and already has the internet in a full-blown casting meltdown. With no official casting announced yet, speculation is reaching fever pitch online. Social media exploded when fans floated Robbie's name as the perfect modern Catherine Tramell. 'Remake it with Margot Robbie,' one user posted on X, echoing hundreds of similar sentiments. UK bookies have joined the fray, putting Robbie at 3/1 odds, just behind Florence Pugh at 2/1. Other contenders include Sydney Sweeney, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ana de Armas, and Jodie Comer. Adding fuel to the fire, original screenwriter Joe Eszterhas has signed a $4 million deal to write the reboot. Now 80, Eszterhas clapped back at ageist criticism with a statement that's as provocative as the project itself. 'The rumours of my cinematic impotence are exaggerated,' he said. 'My writing partner, the Twisted Little Man, is sky high up for this. He promises a wild and orgasmic ride.' The original Basic Instinct followed Michael Douglas as a detective entangled with sultry novelist Tramell, played with unforgettable menace by Stone. The film made over $350 million globally and featured one of the most iconic, and controversial, interrogation scenes in cinema history. With Margot Robbie's star only rising post-Barbie, fans are convinced she's the only one who can pull off the role with equal amounts of danger and allure. Whether she takes the plunge or not, the buzz is building, and this reboot is already one of the most anticipated (and lusted after) revivals of the decade.
