“Suicide Squad” was one of the biggest films of 2016 and one of the roles that has increased Margot Robbie’s fame. But Margot Robbie isn’t a fan, even though she nailed the role.
Aside from Harley Quinn being the Joker’s girlfriend, she also happens to be a psychopath. Robbie says Harley Quinn is the complete opposite of her personality. But as the professional she is, she had to get used to the character and deliver.
And, well, she really nailed it!
We’re looking forward to your future projects, Margot Robbie!
