Margot Robbie previously shared a fun behind-the-scenes anecdote during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. While discussing a scene, Jimmy asked her, “What does it feel like to have a man just suddenly put you in a tree?”




Margot replied with a laugh, “There’s so many times in the movie where he just picks me up or puts me in a tree or picks me up with one hand. I have to say, it’s really nice. It makes you feel like, ‘Oh, I’m light as a feather. I’m a tiny little thing.’”

Jimmy had a quick comeback. He joked, “Can I tell you something? I’ve had a man pick me up like that.”

Amused, Margot asked, “How did it make you feel?”

Jimmy replied, “You think I’m kidding, but I’m not kidding. Shaquille O’Neal lifted me up like I was a baby. I just felt like I was a little boy.” The exchange left the audience in splits.
