Read our privacy policy Viola Davis has recounted the story of Jared Leto sending Margot Robbie a black rat as a prank during the filming of 2016’s Suicide Squad. As well as reportedly sending a dead pig to fellow cast members, he also allegedly posted them anal beads and used condoms, was called Mr J on set, and met with real life killers to understand the character’s mentality. “I was saying loudly, ‘Don’t open the box!’ I was halfway out the door when opened the box,” said Davis, “and saw the biggest black rat you could imagine. Full of joy.” Elsewhere in the profile, Robbie describes the adrenaline-filled experience of filming Birds of Prey, for which she revived her Suicide Squad character Harley Quinn.
