As a fan, I admire Margot Robbie‘s audacity and fearlessness in her acting choices, particularly during the making of “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Her decision to slap Leonardo DiCaprio instead of kissing him during their audition scene was a bold move that not only showcased her unique flair but also caught the attention of Martin Scorsese and Leo themselves.
During an episode of “Talking Pictures” podcast with TCM’s Ben Mankiewicz, Margot Robbie shared that Martin Scorsese, her director for “The Wolf of Wall Street,” proposed the option for her not to show full nudity in the movie. At just 20 years old and unconcerned about the film’s wide audience, Robbie portrayed Naomi Lapaglia, the bold and straightforward wife character opposite Leonardo DiCaprio’s criminal Jordan Belfort. The nude scene was part of her role as Naomi.
In response to Scorsese’s suggestion that she could wear a robe if uncomfortable, Robbie explained that her character wouldn’t do that in the scene. Instead, she made the decision herself to go bare, emphasizing that the character is intentionally revealing all, which is the strategy she’s employing at this point.
In the creation of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” Robbie took charge by making significant decisions on her own. This movie marked her groundbreaking debut role, as demonstrated when she opted to give Leonardo DiCaprio a slap rather than kiss during their audition scene.
In a moment, Robbie contemplated, “If I were to kiss Leonardo DiCaprio now, it would be fantastic! I can’t wait to share this with my friends.” But then he reconsidered and instead playfully slapped him in the face. The room fell quiet for what felt like an extended period, but was likely just three seconds.
They erupted in laughter, with Leo and Marty finding it particularly amusing. Robbie recalls thinking, ‘I’m about to get arrested; I’m fairly certain that qualifies as assault or battery.’ Not only will you lose your ability to work, but you’ll likely end up in jail for this, you fool. And why did you have to strike so forcefully? A lighter touch would have been more appropriate.
In 2013, “The Wolf of Wall Street” marked Margot Robbie’s significant debut in a leading role. Interestingly, this was the same year she also appeared in a supporting role for the romance drama “About Time.” Six years later, she worked alongside her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio once more, under Quentin Tarantino’s direction for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
