Hollywood has seemingly embraced the foot fetish in recent years, though iconic director Quentin Tarantino has repeatedly denied his own ‘obsession’ with bare toes
Hollywood is known for its racy – and often full-frontal – sex scenes, but in recent years a new fetish has come to the forefront.
It seems the industry and its fans are just obsessed with feet.
With Margot Robbie’s new Barbie scene driving the internet wild after the star stepped out of her pink high heel and kept the iconic tip-toe posture of a real doll, Daily Star is taking a peek into the hottest feet scenes in the movies.
From Quentin Tarantino’s rumoured ‘obsession’ with toes to that risqué foot fetish scene in Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon, there’s plenty to go around.
Margot Robbie’s Barbie foot
Barbie fans have been going wild over Margot Robbie’s foot
The new teaser trailer for this year’s Barbie movie sent fans wild as Margot Robbie’s doll character stepped out of a fluffy pink heel and her foot retained its tippy-toe while bare.
With Margot’s foot at the centre of the frame, fans were going wild – and Chrissy Teigen even demanded an entire documentary be made about the iconic shot and how it was filmed.
She wrote on Twitter: “I need to know everything about this shot.
“How many takes, if she held onto something, was she harnessed, is the landing mark sticky, are they her feet, who did the pedicure, really just a documentary on this shot.”
Salma Hayek has her feet eaten
Salma Hayek shoved her foot into Quentin Tarantino’s mouth
When starring in From Dusk Till Dawn back in 1996, iconic Latina actress Salma Hayek had all eyes on her as she slipped her foot into Quentin Tarantino’s mouth and poured Tequila all the way down her leg.
Though his character doesn’t last long in the flick, Tarantino clearly wanted to get some foot-in-mouth action, and could be seen swirling Salma’s feet around before she kicked him backwards.
In fact, the director could be said to have a bit of a fixation on actresses’ feet, starting with Uma Thurman’s in 1994 hit flick Pulp Fiction.
Most of his films contain at least one foot shot, including the Kill Bill franchise and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
The star commented on his own supposed fetish, telling GQ: “I don’t take it seriously. There’s a lot of feet in a lot of good directors’ movies. That’s just good direction.
“Like, before me, the person foot fetishism was defined by was Luis Buñuel, another film director. And Hitchcock was accused of it and Sofia Coppola has been accused of it.”
Uma Thurman’s bare toes

If you ever wanted to see Uma Thurman’s bare feet, you’re in luck – Tarantino has you covered.
Beginning with Thurman performing a half-dancing, half-walking scene while barefoot in 1994’s Pulp Fiction, the star went on to star in an entire scene attempting to wriggle her big toe in Kill Bill: Vol 1.
Uma, however, wasn’t loving the scenes starring her size 11 feet, confessing to Jonathan Ross: “In [Kill Bill] there’s a lot of foot. That’s very embarrassing, personally.”
But the star seemed to take it all in her stead, and in 2010 she toasted his foot fetish and let Tarantino drink champagne out of her black velvet stiletto shoe.
Margot Robbie’s cuff escape

Barbie wasn’t the only movie in which Margot Robbie used her tootsies to their full potential. Back in The Suicide Squad, her Harley Quinn used her feet to escape from a perilous situation.
And she filmed her own stunts instead of using a double.
In the iconic supervillain scene, Harley kills one of her captors and uses her bare feet to take keys to her handcuffs from his body before unlocking them above her head – with the same feet.
Filmmaker James Gunn explained: “Margot is like a human Swiss army knife… and watching this scene with her flipping backwards was just beyond incredible.
“I was so happy that it worked and I was mesmerised by it, and then I got into the editing room with the footage and she has a cuff on her outfit that covers her face so it looks like it’s a stunt person.”
He called the edit his “biggest regret”.
‘Nasty’ House of the Dragon scene
House of the Dragon fans weren’t impressed with a foot fetish scene
HBO’s Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon caught fan fury during a “nasty” scene, in which Olivia Cooke’s Queen Alicent Hightower exposes her bare feet to get favours from Larys (Matthew Needham).
In the scene, Alicent removes her shoes and stockings before Larys begins to masturbate over them in her presence.
Larys himself suffers from clubbed feet – and the scene proved pretty scandalous.
Fans were quick to brand it “nasty”, with one writing: “I can excuse incest, but I draw the line at foot fetish.”
Someone else said: “It’s the way Alicent was already taking her shoes and socks off without Larys even having to say anything. Like y’all done this before??”
While a third viewer wrote: “Every time Larys is on screen I hate him more and more, he’s so creepy and gross and the foot scene low-key ruined the whole ep for me.”
Charlie’s Angels massage

Anyone for a foot massage? Lucy Liu’s character Alex Munday took that to mean a whole different thing in noughties flick Charlie’s Angels.
While performing a massage on one client’s back, Lucy got all up in his business, standing on his bare flesh with her own naked toes digging in to relieve some of that tension.
She even goes for the face, rubbing her foot into the man’s cheek before snapping his neck with her very skilled appendage.
Margaret Qualley’s foot woes

Appearing in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Margaret Qualley knew what to expect.
But she was left embarrassed by her own bare feet, and opened up to Jimmy Kimmel on his talk show about her “mangled toes”.
Jimmy said: “Your feet are very prominently featured in the movie.”
As Margaret replied: “They are very prominent, unfortunately. I grew up dancing and my toes are very mangled. When Quentin first suggested I put my feet up on the dashboard, I was like, ‘Let’s be honest here, check these guys out, they’re not great. I don’t know that you want to showcase them’.
