Of all the movies that she's starred in, even going frontal in "Wolf of Wall Street," Margot Robbie is gaining the most attention for her stint as Harley Quinn in "Suicide Squad."

And though "Suicide Squad" filming just wrapped up, all eyes are still on Margot Robbie as she admitted that her co-star Jared Leto, who plays The Joker, scared her.

According to the Harley Quinn, Jared Leto did a fine job in portraying his own brand of The Joker, a role played by various notable actors in the past.

"What he's doing with the character is so cool," Margot Robbie told New York Daily News about Jared Leto's performance of The Joker in "Suicide Squad."

"At first it was kind of confronting (to be up close) but now I'm so used to it, I think if I ever saw him out of makeup now I would be really confused."

The Harley Quinn actress then went on to recount the incident when The Joker actor "petrified" her.

"Actually, I saw him out of makeup once and I was actually petrified of him. I was too scared to go up and didn't know who that person was, and when he got back into his makeup I was far more comfortable."

According to MTV, Jared has been a very sensitive colleague that he made efforts to compensate for his absence from the set - the only catch is that, the gifts reportedly come from Joker and not from Jared.

"First, the entire cast was sent a video from Leto in character, along with a dead hog," Victoria McNally wrote in her MTV article.

"Then, Will Smith got his own personal note with a bullet enclosed. And Margot Robbie, who plays the Joker's companion Harley, received a 'nice love letter with a black box with a rat in it - a live rat,' [Adam] Beach said."

Now that Margot Robbie has shed her Harley Quinn costume after the "Suicide Squad" filming wrapped up, fans are wondering whether the Australian-born actress will be working on new Hollywood movies.

With "Z for Zachariah" hitting the theaters last month, Margot may have a lot of time in her hands for making more movies.

Meanwhile, it seems that the actress has a lucky streak when it comes to landing roles in box office-hit movies.

According to Herald Sun, the actress admitted that she missed out on playing the role of Sue Storm in "Fantastic Four," which could be a blessing in disguise because the flick is purportedly a box office flop.
