Margot Robbie, renowned for her exceptional acting skills and playful demeanor both on and off the screen, recently delighted her fans with a surprising childhood anecdote. The talented actress shared a mischievous memory from her younger days, revealing how she once faked her own death as a prank on a babysitter she didn’t particularly like. This amusing story, posted on her Instagram account, quickly became a sensation, capturing the attention of various news outlets and her followers.
Her mischievous nature didn’t end with childhood pranks, as she’s known for pulling practical jokes on her co-stars during film shoots as well. One memorable instance occurred while filming for the upcoming movie ‘Barbie.’ Margot managed to convince her entire cast to dress in pink as a playful prank, fully immersing them in the world of the iconic doll.
Currently immersed in a massive promotional tour for ‘Barbie,’ scheduled to hit theaters on July 21, Margot Robbie has been going all out in promoting the film alongside co-stars and director Greta Gerwig.
Strategically releasing ‘Barbie’ on the same day as Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic ‘Oppenheimer’ turned out to be a stroke of genius, resulting in a phenomenon dubbed ‘Barbenheimer’ by enthusiastic fans on social media.
In a recent Instagram clip shared by Margot, she humorously recounted the unforgettable prank she pulled on a babysitter during her childhood days. Fondly recalling her cool 16-year-old babysitter from the past, she decided to teach the new, older babysitter a lesson in her own unique way.
Margot’s theatrical prank involved laying herself on the tiles, covered in ketchup and holding a kitchen knife, pretending to be lifeless. As expected, the startled babysitter’s reaction was priceless – she fled the house screaming, making the prank an uproarious success.
Her co-star, Ryan Gosling, playfully chimed in during the conversation, humorously remarking that Margot had “directed her own death scene” for the prank. Margot couldn’t help but smile at the remark, acknowledging the effort she put into the act and affirming that it was well worth the wait.
