What was the most unpleasant thing Margot Robbie had to do inSuicide Squad?
Margot Robbie went on to make the role of Harley Quinn her very own. She owned it all – the gags, the costumes, the bat swinging. No wonder theBarbiestar had to put in a lot of effort behind the sets, and compromise on numerous aspects. In an interview withThe Washington Postin 2016, she opened up about her experience of shooting the David Ayer film.
In the interview, she revealed that there was one moment when she hated being a part of it. When asked what was the most difficult scene for her, she said,

Margot Robbie’s plunge into a tub of paint was horrible
TheBabylonstar was not pleased with how the scene went down. She continued,
“It was like this gluggy paint stuff that was so far in my ears and up my nose, and I was choking on it underwater, and I couldn’t breathe, and I tried to open my eyes, and it would glaze over my eyeballs, and I could only see white. It was horrible.”
Yet none of this changes the fact that the scene remains very crucial for the film, giving fans a window into Quinn’s troubled past. Margot Robbie knew that better than anyone. No wonder she still went ahead with the shoot, though it may given her a lifetime of nightmares.
