The Suicide Squad star Margot Robbie is "flattered" by the internet's obsession with her feet.
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with guest host Anthony Anderson, Robbie was describing a stunt she performed on set which involved picking a lock with her toes. She explained that she is "very dexterous" with her toes, and could "pick a lock no problem." She said, "I remember we were gonna have to, for like a--to cut in close, we're gonna have to use someone else cause I had to get to another set, but our editor actually edited Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and he was like, 'Those aren't Margot Robbie's feet. I have seen Margot Robbie's feet.'"
Writer/director James Gunn, who joined Robbie on the show along with John Cena, followed up on her comments, explaining that he knows all about the public's interest in the Harley Quinn actor's toes. "Believe me, I'm on Twitter, I know people wanna see your feet," Gunn said. "I don't know where these people come from. 'Do we get to see Margot's feet?' I'm like, that's what you're thinking about? We've got huge bombs, we've got buildings falling over, we've got Idris Elba, John Cena, Margot Robbie, all these great people, but [her feet] are the stars."
Robbie has no problem with the internet's interest in seeing her feet, which also had a starring role in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. "It's weird, but I'm flattered by that," Robbie said during the interview. Gunn went on to explain that the stunt in question was the "hardest thing" he asked her to do on set, but it was also something "[he] never thought she would be able to do," describing her as a "human swiss army knife."
"There's a scene in which Margot is being hung up by handcuffs over her head, and she has to get her toes along a dead body and pick a key off of the dead body, flip her toes backwards to put the key into the lock over her head, unlock it and then come down straight," Gunn said. "I'm watching this--it was honestly my favorite day, torturing Margot was my favorite day on set."
Fans can see all of Robbie's stunts as Harley Quinn in The Suicide Squad, which premieres in theaters and on HBO Max Aug. 6.
