We've all got a winding down from work routine - that we probably don't do enough.
For some people it's listening to music or watching Netflix and for others it's going on a run.
But when it comes to Barbie star Margot Robbie, she has a rather unique way of switching-off from the pressures of working long hours on movie sets.
When Backstage asked 10 Hollywood actors about their working hours, seven of them said they work between 12 and 18 hours a day.
Although they get more than fairly paid for their work, it's still a long day, no matter how you look at it.

Now, the way Robbie unwinds sounds pretty extreme when you first hear it.
"I like to have a beer shower," she told Harper's Bazaar back in 2016.
Thankfully, this isn't exactly what it sounds like.
Robbie was at pains to stress that she isn't the inventor of the so-called beer shower in the 2016 interview.

She instead explained that she got the idea from Tina Fey's costume lady when the pair worked together on 2016's Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot.
At the time, Robbie was particularly keen to go home and unwind and discovered Fey's costume lady had specific plans in mind.
"Me too," replied the staff member. "I can't wait to go home and have a beer shower."
"I was like, what’s a beer shower?" Robbie remembered thinking.
Thankfully, it wasn't long before the actor knew exactly what was meant by the beer shower.

Robbie went on: "She said she drinks an ice-cold beer in a boiling-hot bath or shower, and it made her sleep.
"I was like, 'That sounds perfect!' So now when I get home from work, I have a beer shower or a beer bath if I have time."
News of the actor's penchant for beer showers has resurfaced after she revealed that she was offered a job at Hooters after her first acting break as a teenager.
In case you're unfamiliar with the establishment, they're famously filled with young, beautiful waiting staff who serve customers everything from beer to pub grub.

"I was in a Hooters commercial, not as a Hooters girl but as someone eating at Hooters," she recalled in an interview with NME.
"At the end of the day, they offered me a job and I was like, 'I think this is where my career is going and I'm going to end up working at Hooters. That's cool'."
But while Robbie got the offer, she ultimately turned it down in favour of chasing bigger things.
