Margot Robbie was photographed sharing a passionate kiss with Bradley Cooper on a hotel balcony in France while filming a prequel to the Ocean’s franchise, Daily Mail reported.

The candid snap, taken by paparazzi, shows the two actors in a close embrace against the backdrop of the picturesque town of Villefranche-sur-Mer, hinting at on‑screen chemistry during the shoot.

The project, titled Eleven Friends of Ocean, serves as a prequel to the famous heist series and places the pair as the parents of young Danny Ocean, a role that will be explored through flashbacks set at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix.

Production crews are currently based on the French Riviera, with plans to relocate to Monaco later this month to capture authentic race‑day scenes. The location choice adds a vintage European flair to the period piece.

Cooper, who not only stars in the film but also directs and co‑writes the screenplay, is handling multiple creative responsibilities for the venture. Sources say his involvement behind the camera is as significant as his on‑screen role.

Robbie, meanwhile, is slated to headline the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean installment, where she will lead the story centered on her swashbuckling heroine. Earlier reports noted that Johnny Depp, if he returns to the franchise, will appear only in a supporting capacity.

Fans took to social media after the photo surfaced, expressing excitement over the unexpected on‑set moment and speculating about the characters’ dynamics. Entertainment outlets quoted insiders who said the scene was part of a larger romantic subplot in the film.

The production is expected to wrap later this year, after which the cast will promote the movie ahead of its scheduled release.
