In what can be termed as pretty much a first of sorts, 'Suicide Squad' director David Ayer has hired a therapist to council the film's actors on set in case they lose their focus and cross the line between fantasy and reality.

Adam Beach portraying the character Slipknot has described the therapist as a "life coach" than a psychiatrist at this point.

He said, "We kind of have like a therapist on board if you fall off the wagon and really are villainous. There's a friend of [Ayer's] that's very unique in making sure we have our ground...Us actors explore very fine thin lines going to the dark side and he wants to make sure we finish a movie and don't disappear somewhere and then don't show up for work."

Some say the team may indeed need a therapist since Jared Leto who plays the Joker in the film has sent amusing yet frightening gifts to his co-stars. One of the "gifts" that was in for quite a talk recently was a live rat to sent to Margot Robbie who plays the character Harley Quinn.

'Suicide Squad' crashes into theatres on August 5, 2016.
