Margot Robbie has recently been in the spotlight for her maniacal role as Harley Quinn in David Ayer's "Suicide Squad" (2017). She is being dubbed a rising star -- a celebrity to watch. But there are still a lot of things no one knows about the budding actress.

1. Before her Hollywood break, she worked at a Subway as a sandwich artist.

2. Robbie refused to lose weight for her role as Jane in "The Legend of Tarzan" (2016).

She said she would rather focus on being healthy, than skinny.

3. She is a natural brunette.

She dyed her hair blonde when it became obvious that Hollywood preferred blonde actresses.

4. Robbie was backpacking on the island of Croatia when she got the callback for "Focus" (2015).

She managed to arrive on time, although Will Smith was late, claiming he was traveling from Queens. When Smith told Robbie the reason for his lateness, Robbie said to him, "Yeah? Well I just came from an island off Croatia and I'm here on time." Robbie believes this interaction won her the role.

5. Robbie went to clown school when she was eight, learning proficiency in trapeze work.

This skill came in good use for her role as Harley Quinn in "Suicide Squad."

6. She downed three shots of tequila before her first sex scene with Dicaprio in "Wolf of Wall Street" (2013) because she was so nervous.

She was also supposed to appear in a robe, but decided to go nude because she felt it was more true to her character.

7. She opened Harley's tattoo parlor while filming for "Suicide Squad."

She tattooed "SKWAD" on several cast members, members of the crew and director David Ayer with a tattoo gun she purchased from eBay.

By reading this, you have probably reached the same conclusion as myself: Margot Robbie is basically awesome. Not only is she beautiful, she is extremely talented in more ways than one. I can't wait to see what she does next.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
