Margot Robbiewanted in on the action during one sequence inThe Suicide Squad.
Director James Gunn revealed during an appearance onJimmy Kimmel Livewith guest hostAnthony Andersonlast month ahead of the movie’s Aug. 6 release that Robbie performed her own stunt in one scene.
Unfortunately, Harley Quinn had on a puffy red gown that had off-the-shoulder straps which ended up covering her face during the sequence “so it looks like it’s a stunt person,” the director said, adding that it wasn’t intentional.
“It’s my biggest regret in the whole movie… not going in with the scissors!” he said of the tulle sleeves.
Robbie, also appearing onJimmy Kimmel Live, bragged, “I’m ambidextrous with my toes. I could braid someone’s hair with my toes, I reckon. I reckon I could play the piano or whatever.”
“James was like ‘Don’t worry we’ll cut into this, don’t worry about it,'” she recalled of shooting the scene. “And I was like, ‘No, I reckon I got it actually.”
Gunn went on to joke that many people on Twitter demanded to see Robbie’s toes “and 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 those are the stars.”
The Australian actress’ co-star Joel Kinnaman previously spoke to PEOPLE and raved about her beinga “savage” on set.
“We had a couple of days when we were shooting these scenes, where we had massive rain towers [raining down on us],” Kinnaman, who plays military tactician Rick Flag in the films, told PEOPLE earlier this month. “For some reason these rain towers, [the water] is so cold. It’s so cold! And the rest of us, we get the rain on us, but we also have clothes on. And then we get a warm, cozy coat to put on in between.”
“But because Margot [as Harley Quinn] is in full body paint, she’s just standing there taking it,” Kinnaman explained. “And then she can’t wrap herself in anything. And you just see her, her whole body is just shivering, her teeth are clattering. And then, as soon as it’s, ‘Action,’ she’s on, and it’s on.”
