“We kind of have a therapist on board in case you fall offthe wagon and really are villainous,” said Adam Beach who plays Slipnot in thethriller, to E!’s Marc Malkin. “There’s a friend of Ayer’s that’s very uniquein making sure we have our ground.”
Adam reassures the fans that the director’s friend is not a therapist in particular, but more of a life-coach who can lend help and support. “Us actors explore very thin fine lines going into the dark side, and he wants to make sure we finish a movie and don't disappear somewhere and not show up for work,” he added in the interview.
And it seems like cast member Jared Leto is already trying to keep things light-hearted on set as well. Taking his role of the Joker seriously, the Oscar winner played some pranks on his co-stars. “He sent Margot Robbie a nice love letter, in a black box with a rat in it, a live rat," noted Adam. "It was beautiful, then he sent bullets to Will.”
