Margot Robbie, a Hollywood sensation, recently divulged the intricacies of shooting steamy n^de scenes, shedding light on the use of authentic features like real bre-sts and pubic hair, especially when such realism is required.
During a promotional event in Australia last year for her movie “Babylon” alongside co-star Diego Calva, Robbie shared this surprising behind-the-scenes revelation on the Fitzy & Wippa podcast.
The conversation swiftly veered towards the unique challenges faced in period filming, particularly in regards to authenticity below the belt.
In a candid moment, one of the hosts brought up the difficulties of finding actresses with genuine attributes, prompting Robbie to reveal an interesting tidbit about the use of “merkins,” essentially wigs for genitalia.
Recalling her experience on “Wolf Of Wall Street,” she mentioned the presence of an entire room dedicated to merkins, where individuals could select the most suitable ones discreetly.

Robbie has previously shared other amusing anecdotes from her time working on “Wolf of Wall Street,” narrating an incident involving Leonardo DiCaprio’s electric cigarette getting lodged in an awkward spot.
Despite filming intimate scenes with DiCaprio, she described them as far from romantic, emphasizing the lack of allure in such scenarios.
Reflecting on these experiences, Robbie humorously recounted how embarrassing moments like the electric cigarette mishap only reinforced the unglamorous reality of shooting intimate scenes.
According to her, the allure often associated with such sequences is far removed from the actual filming process.
In her latest venture, “Babylon,” Robbie delves into a world of debauchery, portraying scenes involving copious amounts of white powder consumption and even a risky encounter with a rattlesnake.
She revealed an amusing incident where she had to advise director Damien Chazelle to dial down the depiction of cocaine usage in the film, citing scenes with lines of coke resembling hot dogs.
Furthermore, Robbie disclosed that the fake drugs used on set were actually harmless substances like baby laxative, vitamin powder, or icing sugar, highlighting the creative measures taken to depict drug use authentically while ensuring the safety of the cast and crew.
