Though it's not always easy to take things from a movie set without getting caught, many famous actors have managed to take props home from sets to keep as mementos.
Margot Robbie and her fellow "Birds of Prey" castmates said they have taken things like arm casts, bats, jewelry, and clothing from set.
For example, Robert Downey Jr. said he took home a giant letter "A" from the "Avengers" set.
Emma Watson said she took a few things from the set of "Harry Potter."
Jennifer Lawrence said she took home Katniss' leather jacket and boots from the "Hunger Games" set.
Actors spend a lot of time on set, so it's not too surprising when they take home a few mementos to symbolize their time spent portraying a certain character.
Movie studios typically own the props that help make movies magical so it's not exactly easy for actors to swipe things from set. But sometimes stars find a way to take home some impressive or strange props.
Here are some actors who took props home from their movie sets.
