Margot Robbie, the talented Australian actress, recently shared a surprising warning with her fans regarding a particularly painful experience during a s** scene in the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
In this Martin Scorsese film, Robbie portrayed Naomi Lapaglia, starring alongside the renowned actor Leonardo DiCaprio who played her on-screen husband Jordan Belfort.
The movie featured numerous steamy scenes, and Robbie once disclosed that her brother was so affected by her full frontal n^de scene that he couldn’t bring himself to speak with her.
It was a reaction that can be understood considering the intensity of such scenes.
During an interview on the Screen Time podcast, Robbie mentioned watching “The Wolf of Wall Street” with her family, a decision that could be considered either bold or not entirely well-considered, given the mature content of the film.
One of her brothers had a particularly tough time watching the movie, to the extent that he needed a few weeks away from communicating with Robbie to process what he had seen.
Recalling the experience, Robbie expressed, “I can’t tell you how uncomfortable that was.” She further shared, “One of my brothers didn’t speak to me for three months afterwards – not because he was mad, he was just, like: ‘I just need a minute before I can consider you my sister again!’” Such reactions seem reasonable given the circumstances.
Despite the on-screen portrayal of steamy moments, Robbie revealed that the reality behind the scenes was far from glamorous.
Describing the scene where she and DiCaprio engaged in a passionate moment on a bed filled with money, Robbie disclosed to The Independent, “I got a million paper cuts on my back from all that money!
It’s not as glamorous as it sounds.”
In a cautionary tone, Robbie advised against attempting similar scenes, stating, “If anyone is ever planning on having s** on top of a pile of cash: don’t.
Or maybe real money is a bit softer, but the fake money is like paper, and when I got up off the bed, I turned around to get my robe and everyone gasped.
I said, ‘What is it?’ And they said, ‘You look like you’ve been whipped a million times.
Your back is covered in a thousand red scratches.’”
Robbie had initially hesitated about the n^de scenes, despite her manager assuring her that ‘if there’s ever going to be a time for nudity, this is the director you do it with’.
However, she eventually embraced the scenes, believing that the n^dty aligned with the character of Naomi.
