Margot Robbie has hilariously revealed how she faked her own death to get back at the babysitter she was having issues with as a young girl.

The Barbie actress, 33, revealed during an interview conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike on BBC 2 that she once smeared ketchup on her body and lay next to a kitchen knife after a conflict with a new babysitter she wasn’t liking all that much.

Robbie waited 45 minutes to be discovered by the nanny – but said it was all worth to watch her run out of the house, screaming.

We got a new babysitter,’ Margot recalled during an interview with BBC Radio 2. ‘And I wanted my old babysitter back, Talia, who was like sixteen and I thought she was so cool. And then we got this much older lady in and I was just not happy about it.’

‘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.”

And so I got a big kitchen knife and the ketchup and I lay sprawled out naked on the tiles, covered myself in ketchup and put the kitchen knife.

‘And I waited for like 45 minutes for her to find me. But, it was worth the wait.’

‘Did she run screaming from the house?’ interviewer Zoe Ball asked.

‘Oh yeah,’ she replied.

‘You produced your own death,’ Ryan Gosling chimed in. ‘I did,’ Margot replied.

The Wolf Of Wall Street star also recalled another time she scared people as a child – so much the ambulance was even called.

‘I also once practiced like a pratfall on the cinema stairs at the shopping center where I’m from,’ she said. ‘People started calling an ambulance so, I guess I was a bit of a dramatic child.’

Margot and Ryan have been on an epic promotional tour in support of their highly anticipated new film, Barbie, set for release on Friday.

It’s set to be released the same day as another long-awaited drama, Oppenheimer, in an event that has come to be known as Barbenheimer.

The term Barbenheimer has blown up so much on social media that the phrase now has its own Wikipedia page.

The entry describes Barbenheimer as ‘an Internet phenomenon that began circulating ahead of the theatrical release of two films diametrically opposed in genre, Barbie and Oppenheimer, on July 21, 2023.’

It also digs further into the roots of the intrigue behind Barbenheimer, citing the extreme ‘contrast’ between the two movies.

The page reads: ‘The contrast between Barbie, a fantasy comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig about the fashion doll Barbie, and Oppenheimer, a biographical thriller film directed by Christopher Nolan about theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, provoked a comedic response from Internet users.’

Naturally, when the internet is presented with a combination of cultural phenomenon and comedy, memes ensue.

The films’ stars have also gotten involved with the Barbie and Oppenheimer fiasco. Thankfully, they have remained civil and are even supportive of each others’ films.

Margot signed a Barbenheimer shirt during the Barbie press tour. Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy also recently broke his silence on the discourse.

‘I adore Margot Robbie, I love Ryan Gosling, I want to see them now!’ he told Spanish publication La Vanguardia.

‘My advice would be for people to go see both on the same day. If they are good movies, that’s what wins in the cinema,’ he added.

Robbie and Gerwig took it a step further and showed their support by posting a picture of themselves with tickets to see Oppenheim.

Recently, Murphy returned the favor and posted a snap of him and Nolan with tickets to the Barbie movie.
