Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn Comments About Jared Leto Resurface Amidst Allegations

Wait 5 sec.

Actor Jared Leto has been working for a long time, including his Oscar-winning performance in Dallas Buyer's Club. He's known for his extreme method acting, but most recently the actor/singer made headlines after Leto was accused of sexual assault by multiple women. Ever since then his co-stars' past comments about working with him have resurfaced, including Margot Robbie's thought about their collaboration in Suicide Squad (streaming with a HBO Max subscription). During and after Suicide Squad was filmed, stories came out about Jared Leto going method. That includes sending creepy gifts to his co-stars like Margot Robbie. The Barbie star's comments to Slash Film about their collaboration as Joke and Harley Quinn have since come back to light, where she was quoted saying: So when I first heard that he was method, and that we couldn't refer to him as Jared and things like that, I started to panic a bit because I'm in an abusive relationship with this guy who thinks he is the character. I was worried I'd get beat up on set.This is definitely an interesting take on Jared Leto's extreme method acting. While he would walk with a limp around the Morbius set, he was playing a terrifying villain in Suicide Squad. And Margot Robbie was concerned since she had to film so much with him as Harley Quinn. After all, Harley And Joker's relationship is indeed an abusive one.To be clear, the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress didn't stay "worried" for the entirety of filming Suicide Squad. Later in the same interview she praised Jared Leto's work ethic and process, saying: But he's respectful, professional, and lovely. It is so incredible to watch him work because it is a really bizarre process and kind of fascinating. It's not a process that would work for me but I can see the way he does it and it clearly works for him. It's cool.Obviously these quotes came many years before the recent allegations made against the Thirty Seconds to Mars front man. But folks are looking over interviews about Jared Leto with a fine tooth comb in response to these sobering claims. For his part, the Tron: Ares actor has denied any wrongdoing, saying: I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life. These claims are absolutely and categorically false.Only time will tell how things ultimately shake out with this controversy, and if Jared Leto ends up having to go to court against any of his accusers. The stakes certainly feel high, and smart money says fans will be keeping up with the ongoing situation.Suicide Squad is streaming on Max and Jared Leto's latest release Masters of the Universe is streaming on Amazon Prime as part of the 2026 movie release list.
