Margot Robbie, known for her openness, recently shared insights into how filmmakers tackle the depiction of “authentic bre-sts and pubic hair” in intimate scenes.
Robbie, who has embraced n^dty in various movie roles, including her latest venture Babylon, engaged in a candid discussion on the topic.
In a recent radio interview with Fitzy and Wippa to promote Babylon, set in the 1920s and featuring significant nudity, Robbie and co-star Diego Calva faced intriguing inquiries.
Calva acknowledged that constant exposure to n^de scenes during filming led to desensitization among the cast, a sentiment Robbie echoed.
Addressing challenges related to n^dty in period dramas, particularly concerning authenticity with female actors, the hosts raised a point about the scarcity of individuals with natural features like real bre-sts and pubic hair.
In response, Robbie shed light on the use of “merkins,” likening them to wigs designed for genital areas.
Reflecting on her experience with merkins since her time working on Wolf of Wall Street, where she encountered an entire room dedicated to these props, Robbie described the process as fascinating yet relatively unknown within the film industry.
Recalling a vulnerable moment during a n^de scene with Leonardo DiCaprio in the same film, she confessed to resorting to a couple of shots of tequila beforehand due to nerves.
Robbie admitted to initially believing she could go unnoticed in the scene, presuming all attention would be on DiCaprio.
However, as she reflected on it now, she recognized the naivety of that notion.
Through her transparency, Robbie offered a glimpse into the intricate details and preparations involved in creating realistic portrayals on screen.
