once went to extreme measures to get rid of a babysitter.
The 33-year-old actress has recalled literally faking her own death as a protest against a new babysitter she hadn’t taken a liking too.
She went all out, smearing ketchup over her body and lying on the ground next to a kitchen knife after a row with the nanny.
She waited 45 minutes to be found, but the reaction from the babysitter made it all worth it as she ran screaming out of the house.
Revealing her wild tactics in an interview with on Radio 2 – which was conducted – she said: ‘We got a new babysitter.
‘And I wanted my old babysitter back, Talia, who was like sixteen and I thought she was so cool.
‘And then we got this much older lady in and I was just not happy about it.’
It turned out the Barbie star’s breaking points came when she just really didn’t want to have a bath.
‘She told me to go have a bath and I didn’t want to, and she was very cranky and I thought, “I’m going to show you,”‘ she recalled.
‘And so I got a big kitchen knife and the ketchup and I lay sprawled out n**ed.n**ed on the tiles, covered myself in ketchup and put the kitchen knife.
‘And I waited for like 45 minutes for her to find me. But, it was worth the wait.’
Asked if she ran ‘screaming from the house’, Margot said: ‘Oh yeah!’
‘You produced your own death,’ Ryan Gosling quipped, as she admitted: ‘I did!’
She also recalled scaring people as a child and even had an ambulance called after another prank.
‘I also once practiced like a pratfall on the cinema stairs at the shopping center where I’m from,’ she added. ‘People started calling an ambulance so, I guess I was a bit of a dramatic child.’
