Margot Robbie recalled,
“We got a new babysitter, and I wanted my old babysitter back, Talia, who was like 16, and I thought she was so cool. We got this much older lady in, and I was just not happy about it, and 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.’ So I got a big kitchen knife and the ketchup, and I sprawled out naked on the tiles, covered myself in ketchup, put the kitchen knife, and I waited like 45 minutes for her to find me.”
The interviewer asked her if the babysitter ran away screaming, to which the actress said,
“Oh yeah.”
The actress shared that she had done the prank because she did not want to take a bath.

It was shocking for her co-star Ryan Gosling and host to comprehend the vivid thinking of the childhood version of Margot Robbie.
