Margot Robbie insisted on ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ full-frontal nude scene — here’s how Martin Scorsese reacted

nypost.com:

her full-frontal nude scene in “The Wolf of Wall Street” was entirely her idea. Robbie, 34, spoke about making the 2013 Martin Scorsese movie during an interview with Ben Mankiewicz, 57, for his Turner Classic Movies podcast “Talking Pictures.” The Oscar-nominated actress said that Scorsese, 82, suggested she might want to wear a robe rather than be fully naked in the scene, but she turned him down.“[Scorsese] said, ‘Maybe you can be wearing a robe if you’re not comfortable.’ But that’s not what she would do in that scene,” Robbie said.

The “Barbie” actress and producer, who was only 22 when she filmed “The Wolf of Wall Street,” played Naomi Lapaglia, the straight-shooting vixen wife of Jordan Belfort, the stock-trading con man played by Leonardo DiCaprio, 50. “The whole point is that she’s going to come out completely naked — that’s the card she’s playing right now,” Robbie added of Naomi’s full-frontal nudity.The nude scene was not the only time the Aussie actress showed chutzpah in front of Scorsese and DiCaprio.

From the very beginning, she proved she was more than comfortable making bold choices. Robbie also told Mankiewicz that she slapped DiCaprio during her audition, though the script called for her to kiss him. “I thought, ‘I could kiss Leonardo DiCaprio right now, and that would be awesome.

I can’t wait to tell all of my friends this.’ And then I thought, ‘Nah.’ And just walloped him in the face,” Robbie recalled. “It was dead silent for what felt like an eternity but was probably three seconds.”“[DiCaprio and Scorsese] just burst out laughing.
