Margot Robbie Adopts Pet Rat She Received from Jared Leto

Kevin Mazur/WireImageMargot Robbie and her Suicide Squad co-star Jared Leto have taken method acting to a whole new level.

In an effort to stay in character while he was away from set, Leto, who plays the Joker, sent disgusting gifts to his co-stars, including a live rat to Robbie, who plays Harley Quinn, his love interest in the film.

The 25-year-old Australian actress, who plays Harley Quinn, responded the way her character would and decided to keep it.

In the August edition of Elle magazine, Robbie explains, “If Harley got something from Joker, she’d probably cherish it.”

Adds Robbie, the rodent, which she calls Rat Rat, now dines on organic berries from Whole Foods.

Suicide Squad, also starring Will Smith and Cara Delevingne, opens nationwide August 2016.
