Is Vivica A. Fox getting her mack on with a junior colleague?

If you ask The Daily Mail, she is, and that junior colleague and ‘Chocolate City’ co-star, is Robert Ri’chard.

In Chocolate City, Ri’chard, 31, plays Devin, a college student who becomes a stripper to help pay the bills and interesting enough, Fox, 50, plays his mother.

According to the Daily Mail, a production assistant alleges that “despite the fact that she was playing his mother they had this magnetic chemistry,” so much so that he was often seen spending time in Fox’s trailer.

“He always wanted to be around her. He kept finding ways to creep off to her trailer and they were always having to send a production assistant to get him to come back and shoot scenes. Vivica originally resisted dating someone as young as him. But he was so persistent that she gave in. She figured, if men his age are still interested in her, why shouldn’t she date them?”

The source told The Daily Mail that co-stars like Darrin Henson questioned Ri’chard about the age difference between him and Fox, and Ri’chard allegedly told him, “Age is nothing but a number.”

Oh well, age is just a number, ain’t it?
