Sylvester Stallone: They're very similar. The issues at work are very personal issues. I've been lucky enough to take what's been bothering me, questions I've asked about life in general, and have the body of Rocky to put it into. If I was asking these questions they wouldn't have the same impact. He's a tough guy but he's childlike. So when he asks questions, it comes to you kind of at a comical angle.

This is just the latest weird gift to arrive on set. Early on in the production process, Jared Leto, who has gone full-blown method as The Joker, never going out of character, sent Margot Robbie a live rat, which was then passed around set as the official mascot of the Suicide Squad cast. After living with various members of Task Force X, the black rat, named Venustiano, presumably after Mexican Revolution leader José Venustiano Carranza Garza, finally found a home with director Guillermo del Toro. Jared Leto also sent co-star Will Smith, playing Deadshot, a couple of bullets and a dead hog. It is not known what became of the hog. … [Read more...] about Suicide Squad Cast Surprise Margot Robbie with Harley Quinn Birthday Cake
