Barbie Star Margot Robbie Faked Her Own Death After Getting Upset for Replacing Her “cool” Babysitter
Australian actress Margot Robbie probably needs no introduction at this point with how much attention she gained following the release of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie in which she played the titular role. The movie, featuring an ensemble cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, Simu Liu, and many others, took the world by storm upon its release.
Robbie and her co-stars have been regularly making headlines post the film’s release, she once revealed a rather interesting story about her childhood which suggested that she was quite the prankster as a kid.
Margot Robbie Wanted Her Previous Babysitter Back
The Babylon actress is not only well-known for her acting skills but also the bold nature that led her to call out Will Smith when he arrived late to audition for the movie Focus while the actress had reached there on time despite directly coming from her holiday in Croatia. Not to mention that one time she slapped her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio during her audition for The Wolf of Wall Street. Surprisingly, she was hired for both of the movies.
A couple of months earlier, Margot Robbie appeared in an episode of BBC Radio 2’s The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show with her Barbie co-star Ryan Gosling. During the interview, she shared a hilarious incident from her childhood. She recounted how she tried to get rid of the new babysitter that she had.
In a clip of the interview shared on Instagram, Robbie said:
“We got a new babysitter and I wanted my old babysitter back, Talia, who was like 16 and I thought she was so cool. We got this much older lady in and I was just not happy about it, and she told me to go have a bath and I didn’t want to and she was very cranky and I thought, ‘I’m going to show you.’”
The Amsterdam star then went on to scare the old lady away by faking her own death, and she even told the whole story to the show’s host. Evidently, Robbie was quite an actress even as a child.
Margot Robbie Faked Her Own Death
Once Margot Robbie started telling the story of her childhood, there was no stopping her as even Ryan Gosling and the host became curious about the outcome of this prank. In the same Instagram video clip from BBC Radio 2’s The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, the actress went on to say:
“So, I got a big kitchen knife and the ketchup, and I sprawled out naked on the tiles, covered myself in ketchup, put the kitchen knife, and I waited, like, 45 minutes for her to find me.”
The host then asked Robbie if the lady ran away screaming to which the actress said that she did. That surely was a win for The Suicide Squad actress. Ryan Gosling jokingly said that she had successfully produced her own death which also got a laugh out of his co-star. The video has been making rounds on the internet ever since and has been making millions of fans crack up listening to Robbie’s antics.
