Margot Robbie has poked fun at Hollywood critics who find controversy in anything.
The Suicide Squad star joked that the critics might be focused on her co-star in The Legend of Tarzan, True Blood actor Alexander Skarsgård.
"Maybe they will find sexism in Alexander having his shirt off so much when I don't," she told The Sunday Times. "That's it. We're objectifying Alex and his wonderful torso."
Robbie also tackled the issue of age in Hollywood, following criticisms that she was too young to play the lovers of Will Smith in Focus and Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street.
"Will doesn't look his age and I don't look mine. He looks way younger than he is. I look way older. I can't play younger. Nobody's going to cast me as 16," she explained.
"Maybe I'll make a fuss over it when I'm in my forties and some 20-year-old actress is getting all the good roles."

And talking of looks, Robbie noted that she has had to convince casting agents that she can tackle meatier roles, and it's taken independent movies like Z For Zachariah to prove herself as an actress.
"With indie, people are more willing to take a chance," she expanded. "If they attach your name and you have box office value, then they can have their movie finances. Once you prove yourself there, a bigger film will take a gamble."
Perhaps the most surprising insight in the interview is the revelation that Robbie goes to Clapham's nightclub Infernos.
"By the time I make it to Infernos, I look so revolting that nobody's going to look twice," she joked, before adding that maybe it's full of famous actors: "Leo is running around, and nobody ever knows."
