Hollywood star Margot Robbie has shared behind-the-scenes details from her time filming The Wolf Of Wall Street and has admitted that the actors could “pick” from an on set “genital room”
Margot Robbie has revealed that there was a dedicated “genital room” behind the scenes on The Wolf Of Wall Street’s set.
The Hollywood star played Naomi in the 2013 hit and recently spoke about her on set experience to Australian radio hosts Fitzy and Wippa.
She touched upon her nude scene with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio after the presenters asked Margot whether it was hard to find actresses with the right body type for the role.
Robbie revealed that producers always had a back-up plan: “They have these things called merkins, which is like a wig for genitalia. I remember, for The Wolf Of Wall Street, there was an entire merkin room.”

She continued: “I guess people would go in and pick one out. I was fascinating.”
Margot was on NovaFM discussing her new role in Damien Chazelle’s Babylon and admitted that she was comfortable filming a “debaucherous party” scene due to her previous experience.
The Hollywood actress admitted that she became “desensitised so fast” and that The Wolf Of Wall Street “felt like a lifetime and also a distant, hazy memory”.

Margot’s revelation comes after she recently admitted that her friends call her a rather unusual nickname, which has stuck since she was a young girl.
Robbie appeared on The Project and explained the reason behind her strange name.
She said: “I think a substitute teacher made a mistake on the roll call and said ‘maggot,’ and everyone laughed. You can’t pick a nickname, you get given it.”
The Oscar nominee admitted that she has been called maggot “since she was six years old” and previously hoped the name wouldn’t stick – and yet “here we are” discussing it over 20 years later.

Margot has been touring the world promoting her latest film Babylon, directed by Damien Chazelle, which sees her collapse after a cocaine fuelled orgy before wrestling a snake.
Within the first 20 minutes of the blockbuster film, Nellie LaRoy takes so many drugs that she eventually passes out before she tries to take on the legless reptile.
Although the storyline may sound hilarious, Margot has admitted that the role “took everything from her” and Nellie “demanded everything,” both physically and emotionally.
Robbie even said that she told her husband it had been “the hardest she had ever worked”.
