The actress remembers this memorable shoot with Leonardo DiCaprio.
A decade after being revealed in The Wolf of Wall Streetthe excellent Margot Robbie remembers filming the film with Martin Scorsese. And she says that if she appears completely naked at a given moment, it's because she decided to.
Guest of the “Talking Pictures” podcast with Ben Mankiewicz, she confides that the filmmaker suggested that she not show up in the simplest camera in the scene in question, facing Leonardo DiCaprio in Jordan Belfort. But the young woman, then aged around twenty, thought it was better for the stage:
“Martin Scorsese said to me: Maybe you can wear a dressing gown or a nightie if you're not comfortable… Except that's not what Naomi (her character) would do. “Of course she comes completely naked. The point of the scene is that she comes completely naked, because that's the card she's playing at that moment against Jordan Belfort.” .
Margot Robbiedespite his young age, did not hesitate to follow through on his ideas during the production of Loup de Wall Streetwhich was his first major film role. She even remembers having slapped Leo during the auditions:
“In the script, I had to kiss him. And kissing Leonardo DiCaprio, it was a great thing, I couldn't wait to tell all my friends about it. And then I thought no… I just told him slapped him in the face instead. There was dead silence for what seemed like an eternity, but it only lasted for three seconds and everyone burst out laughing. Leo (DiCaprio) and Marty (Scorsese) were laughing so hard. They thought it was brilliant, but I thought they were going to have me locked up because, in concrete terms, not only was I in danger of never working again, but I had. even afraid of going to prison for it at the time I felt stupid. I told myself that I shouldn't have hit him so hard…”
Eventually, Margot Robbie got this role that launched his career. And six years later, she reunited with DiCaprio for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
