Margot Robbie Says She Signed on for Harley Quinn Role Because of David Ayer

Can you imagine if Dr. Johnny, I don't know if you've seen that movie, but Dr. Johnny, who I play in Okja, met Harley Quinn? That would be... I haven't seen Okja yet, but I did hear that your character's like very... I feel like we wore the same shorts, maybe? You saw my outfit? I knew this was gonna happen. Maybe your socks? Yeah, maybe I did, yeah. Get your own outfit. Do you think of yourself as a character actor, or? I think that in the case of that, it was, to me, it was like that role was so polarizing to people. Some people thought it was great, and some people thought it was horrible, and that was exactly where I wanna be. Yeah. And I think you live in a place where creativity gets sort of washed through this thing, where it's supposed to please everyone, and in the space of making choices there. I mean, I remember walking out. I remember walking out in the outfit in New York City, because we'd been shooting in Korea. I wore this crazy outfit. And I remember walking out, and everyone's like, you know, there are paparazzi out there. And I was like, this is how I've always wanted to look in front of photographers, you know? It's like, it just feels, it feels like you wanna be able to make bold choices that throw things off for yourself, right? And then you also sort of throw things off for others. It was super fun. And Bong Joon-ho is an incredible director, and the movie's so moving, so. Did you, do you wanna keep doing kind of outlandish characters like that? Since, I mean, have you always wanted to do that, or are you gonna continue to do that? That's how I wake up in the morning. That was just me. And then you just chill yourself out for the. For the actor on actor interview, yeah. Yeah, I'm forced to put on a suit and come here and act like, you know. All responsible and serious. Responsible and serious, yeah. What about you? I mean, aren't you doing another one? Yeah, I mean, I hope to be playing Holly again, at least next year. I love her. I mean, I love any character that doesn't, every character I play doesn't feel like, I don't feel like myself, and that's why I like doing it, which is why it's so weird when people wanna know about you, cause you're like, but wait, my whole job is not being me. I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, me, I don't know, I'm boring, but these characters are amazing, ask about them. And Holly's one of those insane characters, and people do seem to really like her, so I hope I get to keep playing her. But no, I love that, and it's so nice, like right now I'm working on an indie film that we're producing as well. It's a six million dollar film, and a very small crew, and a second time film director, and it's, I love it so much, but the idea that I get to do that, and then walk into a hundred million dollar film set with pyrotechnics, and all that crazy stuff, and have my baseball bat, and do a totally different thing is just, oh, and it just occurred to me, we've both worked with David Ayer. Yes, we have. I did Holly. Yes, we have. End of Watch, by the way, was one of my favorite films, and the reason I signed on for Suicide Squad was because I love End of Watch so much, and I saw it about four times at the cinema.
