Margot Robbie Referenced Slipknot And Metallica On Jimmy Fallon
During a game show portion of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Margot Robbie bared her metallic side.
It's no secret that Suicide Squad and Birds Of Prey star Margot Robbie is into metal. The actress has previously referenced her love of bands like Bullet For My Valentine. Now, she's made her hesher side public by name-dropping both Metallica and Slipknot on a recent episode of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
Margot was taking part in a game show segment called Know It All, in which she and Jimmy were presented with categories -- some of which were Herbs And Spices and Animals With Tails -- and then had to go back and forth naming things within that category.
While the two failed to name any 16th Century Swedish Architects, they certainly shone in the Rock Bands category. Among those Margot listed were Aerosmith, KISS, Slipknot, Metallica, and the Beach Boys, while the heaviest Jimmy got was AC/DC (to which the actress responded, "Oh, I should've had that one," though that might just be because she's Australian).
Watch the stand-off below:
Cheers to Margot for out-heavying Jimmy.

Of course, this isn't the first time Margot has confessed her love of metal, and it's not even the first time she did so to Jimmy Fallon. Back in 2016, the star appeared on The Tonight Show and professed her young love of all things loud and abrasive.
Watch video of that appearance below:
