During an interview with Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2, the 33-year-old star recounted the outrageous prank she played on the unsuspecting nanny that left her running out of the house in terror.
The incident occurred when Robbie’s parents hired a new babysitter, replacing her beloved sixteen-year-old babysitter, Talia, whom she adored. The young actress was far from thrilled about the change and made her feelings known when a disagreement arose with the new babysitter over a simple request to take a bath.
Feeling defiant and wanting to prove a point, Robbie devised a cunning plan. Armed with a kitchen knife and a bottle of ketchup, she proceeded to smear the ketchup on her body and lay sprawled out on the floor as if lifeless. The bizarre scene was designed to give the illusion of her death, a prank she hoped would shock the babysitter enough to convince her parents to bring back her preferred caretaker.
“I waited for like 45 minutes for her to find me. But, it was worth the wait,” Robbie chuckled during the interview, reminiscing about her bold act. The moment the babysitter discovered the shocking sight of the young actress lying lifeless with ketchup as if it were blood, she panicked and screamed, hastily fleeing the house in terror.
During the amusing exchange on BBC Radio 2, Robbie’s co-star in the upcoming film “Barbie,” Ryan Gosling, joined in the banter, playfully remarking on her audacious stunt. Robbie unabashedly admitted that the babysitter’s reaction was exactly what she had hoped for, and she succeeded in achieving her mission to scare her away.
However, this wasn’t the only instance of Robbie’s mischievous childhood antics. She also revealed that on a separate occasion, she scared people at a local cinema by executing a dramatic pratfall on the stairs, causing concern to the point where an ambulance was called.
With her candid storytelling and humorous recollections, Margot Robbie left the audience in stitches during the radio interview. While it remains a hilarious anecdote from her past, it serves as a testament to the actress’s playful and creative nature, even from an early age.
As fans eagerly anticipate Robbie’s performance in the highly anticipated “Barbie” movie, her candid revelations about her mischievous childhood antics have only endeared her further to the public. The actress’s ability to entertain both on and off the screen continues to solidify her place as one of Hollywood’s most beloved and talented stars.
