Margot Robbie’s rise to Hollywood stardom can be largely attributed to her role in The Wolf of Wall Street.
While not her debut in Hollywood, this Martin Scorsese film catapulted Robbie into the limelight.
Teaming up with renowned director Scorsese and sharing the screen with Leonardo DiCaprio played a pivotal role in her career.
However, amidst the making of this movie, an intriguing incident unfolded involving the actress declining to partake in a particular scene as scripted.
The adult-oriented sequences in The Wolf of Wall Street have become legendary over time, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
Yet, there was a specific moment that Margot Robbie outright refused to perform.
As per the actress, she found it implausible to execute that specific scene, leading her to take a stand against it.
The $406 million-grossing film showcased a plethora of daring scenes featuring the main stars.
The contentious scene in question depicted a seduction scene between DiCaprio and Robbie in a nursery, where Robbie’s character uses her stiletto heel provocatively.
Originally, the script called for Robbie to manipulate her underwear with her stiletto heels, a task she found too daunting to undertake.
In an interview with The Globe And Email, Robbie disclosed her initial thoughts on the scene, deeming it utterly unattainable.
Robbie’s reluctance extended to filming intimate scenes, which she found particularly challenging.
She highlighted the necessity to suppress any embarrassment or awkwardness while shooting such sequences in front of a predominantly male crew.
The movie also subjected Robbie to discomfort, notably during a well-known lovemaking scene atop a pile of cash.
One scene, in particular, left a lasting impact on Robbie – the intimate scene with DiCaprio on a bed of money, resulting in severe cuts on her back.
She cautioned against romanticizing such scenarios, cautioning fans against attempting similar feats due to the physical toll it took on her.
Despite the arduous experiences faced during filming, Robbie’s journey through The Wolf of Wall Street propelled her to international fame, leading to subsequent roles in beloved projects.
Currently, she anticipates the release of Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig, scheduled to premiere on July 21 this year.
The film, inspired by the iconic toy line, features a star-studded cast including Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, Will Ferrell, Dua Lipa, alongside Robbie.
For those interested, The Wolf of Wall Street is available for streaming on Prime Video.
