Margot Robbie Admits She Insisted on Going Nude in The Wolf of Wall Street
Margot Robbie recently shared insights about her transformative role in the 2013 film "The Wolf of Wall Street" during an episode of the Talking Pictures podcast. Starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, she portrayed Naomi Lapaglia, known for her bold and daring personality. Robbie revealed that the idea of appearing nude in the film was hers, even though director Martin Scorsese initially suggested she wear a robe to feel more comfortable. She believed that Lapaglia’s character would use nudity as her bold strategy in that scene. This is prepared by SSP.
Robbie took initiative not only with that scene but in auditions, too. While auditioning, she defied expectations by slapping DiCaprio instead of following the script's intimate direction, earning laughter from both DiCaprio and Scorsese despite her fear of reprisal. This move echoed her determination and nonconformist approach that defined her breakout role and continued to shape her successful career.
Robbie, reflecting on the impact of the film exceeding a decade, recalls filming a pivotal scene needing an emotional catalyst. She’d listen to music to invoke the needed emotional depth, finding inspiration even from the iconic Titanic soundtrack when performing tearful scenes. The coincidence of seeing Titanic leads, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio on set, only added to the surreal experience for Robbie as she prepared to execute yet another powerful scene.
Earlier, SSP reported that Elton John discussed vision loss at London musical opening.
