American film director Kevin Smith has shared a sweet story about how his daughter Harley Quinn met her idol, margot robbie.
In an interview for The Ankler Hot Seat podcast, Smith raved about the Aussie actress’ “class act” when meeting his daughter, who is named after suicide squad character Harley Quinn, who Robbie portrays in the film.
“Margot Robbie was so nice,” he recalls. “My kid was young when suicide squad came out and we went to the premiere, and [she] was all about Margot Robbie.
“I was like, ‘Well, you know, if we see her at the premiere, you could say hi,’ and she’s like, ‘You have to introduce me.’
