Margot Robbie Had To Learn A Seriously Impressive Skill For Suicide Squad

This one’s not for the faint hearted

Margot Robbie recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote her upcoming film, Suicide Squad.

The Aussie actress spoke about how, unlike a lot of other movies, there is not much that is CGI in Suicide Squad.

In one scene, she is underwater for almost five minutes, and when Jimmy Fallon asked how she did it, she explained that she had to get lessons to learn.

They got a diver in to teach her, and she even got competitive with it, saying it was “kind of like meditating underwater”.

“It’s all about lowering your metabolic rate…You kinda, like, meditate underwater. It’s what free-divers do, but it’s amazing,” said the 26-year-old, wearing Elie Saab.

She hit her own personal record of five minutes, but when her stunt double hit the record of five and a half minutes she was almost going to go in for another session to improve on her PB!

“I got to five minutes and I was like, ‘You know what? This is above and beyond what I thought I’d get to. I’m good, I’m good with five.'”
