"Suicide Squad" actress Margot Robbie is one of the latest Hollywood personalities to realize that global fame and fortune comes at a steep price.

The 27-year-old actress recently revealed to The Hollywood Reporter how everything changed for her after the success she has received after her 2016 movie "Suicide Squad" where she played the maniacal Harley Quinn.

Robbie said in the interview that she now had to take extra precautions as she had been dealing with death threats and stalkers since taking on the role, and although it doesn't seem to bother her entirely, she wished that someone had warned her of the worst-case scenarios in signing up for a comic book film.

"Here's just all this stuff you learn along the way, like, when you get those death threats, it's [smart] to have a security team do a background check on whoever sent them to see if there is any past history of violence because you'll need to know whether you need security to go to certain events. And every time you do a background check, it's going to cost $2,000, so take that into consideration when you're getting yourself into this."

Spending $2000 for security is bit much, and the actress admits to having to double her efforts in order to be able to support such a lifestyle. She also went on to say that she would have had no problem with everything if someone had explained to her early on how risky it would be.

With upcoming projects involving her Harley Quinn character such as the Suicide Squad sequel and her standalone movie with the Joker (Jared Leto), as well as the announced "Gotham City Sirens" movie that she herself will produce, fans can expect Robbie's star to only shine brighter.

With the added fame attracting more risks to her personal life, however, the actress might also consider adding more security for her safety.

Robbie's most recent movie, "I, Tonya" was released in theaters on December 8, 2017, where she played the disgraced Olympic skater Tonya Harding.
