Margot Robbie said she was nervous and 'ready to run' during an intense fight scene with a rattlesnake on the set of 'Babylon'

• "Babylon" star Margot Robbie opened up about filming with a rattlesnake in a segment with Entertainment Weekly.
• "I asked the [snake wrangler] if I got bitten how long I had," Robbie shared with her costars.

In writer-director Damien Chazelle's latest film "Babylon," Margot Robbie fights a large rattlesnake with her bare hands during a gritty scene in the movie.

Though Robbie filmed most of the scene using a fake snake, the actress shared her unease during Entertainment Weekly's video segment, "Around the Table." The roundtable also included Robbie's "Babylon" costars Jean Smart, Diego Calva, Jovan Adepo, Brad Pitt, and Li Jun Li.

"I asked the [snake wrangler] if I got bitten how long I had, because we were far away," Robbie, who plays 1920s Hollywood newcomer Nellie LaRoy in the film, shared with her costars. "I was like, 'Well, where's the closest hospital if I do get bit, and how long do I have before we don't get to the hospital?' He was pretty vague on the answer, too. I was like, 'I would love some specificity on this one.'"

The Australian actress said she knew what her next move would be if the stunt went south. "I was ready to run, though, if I had to," Robbie said.

During the scene, Li's character Lady Fay Zhu sucks the venom out of Nellie after the snake bites her. Li also reflected on the "embarrassing" scene during the roundtable interview.

"And then, Damien just kept saying 'Suck harder.' And, I'm just thinking, 'Oh, my God, this is so embarrassing,'" Li said. After Li's character sucks the venom out of Nellie, Lady Fay Zhu kisses her.

Since the fake venom was made out of honey and the prosthetic wound was covered in sand, Li described what it was like kissing Robbie.

"She tasted like honey," Robbie said of Li. "I mean, the venom was honey. So it was gritty, yes, from all the sand. But it was also sweet."
