'Barbie' star Margot Robbie says she once pretended to be dead as a child to get rid of her babysitter
The 'Asteroid City' actress admitted another time she did a 'pratfall' at a movie theater as a kid, prompting calls to emergency services
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Margot Robbie admitted in a recent interview she was a "dramatic" child who once pretended to be dead — complete with ketchup blood and a kitchen knife — to get rid of a babysitter she didn’t like.
"We got a new babysitter, and I wanted my old babysitter back, Talia, who was like 16. And I thought she was so cool," the Australian native told BBC Radio 2. "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.’
"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 33-year-old said it was "so worth the wait," answering "Oh, yeah" when the interviewer asked if the babysitter ran "screaming from the house."
Robbie's "Barbie" co-star Ryan Gosling, who was also in the interview, joked, "You produced your own death."

The "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" actress also revealed she once did a "pratfall" on the stairs at a local movie theater as a child, prompting concerned onlookers to start "calling an ambulance."

"I guess I was a bit of a dramatic child," she added.
Robbie also told People magazine recently that despite starring as Barbie, she didn't love the toy as a child.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I didn't personally have any that I can recall," she said. "My sister did, and I remember my cousin did. I would play with my cousin's, but I wasn't actually that much of a Barbie girl as a kid."

She added that she was more of a "roll-around-in-the-mud kind of gal" and that all the dolls she did have were "weird" and "janky" and "not well cared for."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}She has admitted, however, to still sleeping with her childhood stuffed bunny.
She told W Magazine in 2019 her husband Tom Ackerley "always throws Bunny out of the bed because he obviously thinks it's a tad ridiculous that I still sleep with Bunny."
"Maybe he's a little jealous that Bunny always gets priority place in the bed," Robbie teased. "He thinks I'm asleep, and he'll throw Bunny out of the bed and I get so cross with him."
