Margot Robbie Reflects on Bold Choices That Defined Her 'Wolf of Wall Street' Breakthrough

The actress revealed her decision to improvise a slap during her audition and insist on full nudity for a pivotal scene to stay true to her character.

Margot Robbie disclosed that slapping Leonardo DiCaprio during her audition for 'The Wolf of Wall Street' was an improvised decision, initially fearing it might end her career.
Both DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese praised Robbie's bold choice, which ultimately helped her secure the role of Naomi Lapaglia.
Robbie insisted on full nudity for a key seduction scene, rejecting Scorsese's suggestion to wear a robe, as she believed it aligned with her character's intent.
The actress admitted to using tequila to calm her nerves before filming the nude scene, which became one of the film's most talked-about moments.
Robbie's performance in the 2013 film marked her Hollywood breakthrough, propelling her to major roles in blockbusters like 'Barbie' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.'
