Hitting theaters on December 25, 2013, The Wolf of Wall Street left its mark with a volcanic energy and over-the-top story. Then 70-year-old Martin Scorsese delivered one of the most electrifying feature films of the year. The public was not mistaken, the film collected more than 400 million dollars worldwide, which is one of the greatest successes of the New York director.
In addition, the work was a hit in the country of Moliere, attracting more than 3 million viewers. It is Scorsese’s second highest score after Shutter Island. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, The Wolf of Wall Street follows the rise and fall of trader Jordan Belfort. Sex, drugs, power and money, the film mixes many themes with insane irreverence.
However, if DiCaprio and Jonah Hill are the standouts, it’s a then 23-year-old young actress who steals the show: Margot Robbie. The latter plays Jordan Belfort’s wife, the incandescent Naomi. on the podcast microphone Talking picturesThe Australian actor shared a surprising anecdote from the filming.
The Courage of Margot Robbie
During the scene where she seduces a trader played by DiCaprio, she appears completely naked between two doors. According to the actress, Martin Scorsese gave her the choice to shoot the scene however she wanted, including wearing a robe. Deeply immersed in her character, Margot Robbie herself decided to shoot her completely naked.
According to the actress, Naomi is not the kind of person who would hide behind a coat in such a situation: “That’s not something he would do on that stage.”he emphasizes. “His goal is to arrive completely naked, that’s the card he’s decided to play.”– says Margot Robbie.
His goal is to arrive completely naked, that’s the card he decided to play.
In addition, the actor revealed another rather amusing anecdote. During the audition, she had to perform a scene in which she kisses DiCaprio. Guided by his instincts, he decides to suddenly slap the actress instead of the planned kiss.
When Margot hits Leo
“I thought I could kiss Leonardo DiCaprio right now and it would be awesome. I couldn’t wait to tell all my friends about it. And then I thought… no. And I punched him in the face.”Margot Robbie said.
“There was dead silence for 3 seconds, but it felt like an eternity. Then Leo and Marty burst out laughing. They said it was great and I was afraid they were going to arrest me for assault.”The actor points with humor.
Margot Robbie even imagined that her audacity would close the doors of Hollywood for her. “Not only will you never work again, you’ll go to jail for this, you idiot. Why did you have to hit him so hard? You should have gone lighter.”– thought the young artist then.
In the end, this risk was partly what allowed him to land the role and become the revelation of the film. The Wolf of Wall Street started her film career and Margot Robbie is now one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. She subsequently received two Academy Award nominations for her performances in I, Tonya and Scandal.
