Margot Robbie Made A Massive Spelling Mistake

It is not uncommon for actors to take souvenirs from sets of movies they are part of. Some take props while others take costumes. Margot Robbie got a tattoo gun from the set of Suicide Squad. The actress got a knack for making tattoos for other people and quickly thought it would be a wonderful idea for the entire cast and crew of the movie to get matching tattoos.

“At first I had to really beg people and then it kind of like became a thing,” the actress added. “I did spell one wrong once, that was extreme. I was writing a word and I spelled it wrong.”

The actress was tattooing the entire cast and writing the word ‘Skwad’ on their arms. Her first volunteer was also the one who regretted getting the tattoo the most. It was because the actress misspelled the entire word. Instead of writing Skwad, she ended up writing Swad. After this incident, many even went to Will Smith to get their tattoos instead of Robbie. However, with a good amount of practice, the actress managed to grasp the technique perfectly.
