Hollywood star Margot Robbie turned down Wolf of Wall Street director Martin Scorsese when he suggested toning down a sex scene while filming the blockbuster movie.
Margot Robbie insisted on stripping completely naked to make her The Wolf of Wall Street sex scene more realistic.
The 32-year-old Australian actress famously played Naomi Lapaglia alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2013 Hollywood blockbuster.
Martin Scorses’ movie helped catapult Margot to fame as she was just starting out at the time.
The film is based on the story of controversial stockbroker Jordan Belfor (Leonardo DiCaprio) with Margot playing Belfort’s second wife in the film.
Her role featured numerous sexual scenes, including a full-frontal n*de scene, and the blonde bombshell has admitted she was apprehensive about the scenes being immortalised on the internet.
However, when director Scorsese suggested diluting things for her comfort, she made the brave decision to turn him down.
Speaking to The Telegraph in 2014, Margot, who previously appeared in Neighbours, said: “I think nudity for the sake of nudity is shameful.
“If they’ve put it in just so that a girl gets her top off, then that’s disgusting. And you can always tell.
“But I also think it’s disgusting when someone would have got naked in real life, in the film they conveniently leave their bra on, or hold up the bed sheet. Seeing someone being choreographed into being covered up irritates me just as much.”
“The whole point of Naomi is that her body is her only form of currency in this world. So when Marty [Scorsese] was trying to help me out, and said in the scene where she seduces Jordan perhaps I could have a robe on, I said she wouldn’t. She has to be naked. She’s laying her cards on the table.”
Despite being committed to the role, Margot has revealed in the past that she did find filming the sex scene difficult and embarrassing.
She told Porter in 2018: “It doesn’t come across when you’re watching the movie, but in reality we’re in a tiny bedroom with 30 crew crammed in.
“All men. And for 17 hours I’m pretending to be touching myself. It’s just a very weird thing and you have to bury the embarrassment and absurdity, really deep, and fully commit.”
