The Truth Behind Margot Robbie’s Toughest On-Screen Moment and Her Decision

Margot Robbie reveals discomfort for scene in 'The Wolf of Wall Street'

The actress told how complicated it was to record an erotic scene with Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's tape.

"The Wolf Wall Street" is considered one of the best films of the decade, a story that also made Margot Robbie known. She, however, had an uncomfortable experience during filming.

In this film, Margot Robbie gives life to 'Naomi Lapaglia', girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio's character in the film directed by Martin Scorsese.

This production, nominated for an Oscar, contains some scenes where Margot Robbie must dress in very s+x perform scenes with a high erotic content, a fact that was not very comfortable for the actress.

"You don't realize when you're watching a movie, but actually we're in a very small room with 30 people from the crew. They were all men," Robbie told Porter magazine.

"For 17 hours, I'm pretending to touch myself. It's a very strange thing, having to bury all that shame and absurdity, very deeply, and give yourself completely," she added.

Another thing that made her feel uncomfortable during filming was assuming the role of a sexy girl, since she was not sure if she was the "sex symbol" that the character demanded.

"I knew that my character was described in the script as 'the world's sexiest blonde.' And I'm clearly not the world's sexiest blonde. pretty,'" revealed Margot Robbie.

It should be noted that this role marked the takeoff of her acting career since before "The Wolf of Wall Street", Margot Robbie had only played a couple of supporting roles on television. Currently, she is one of the most sought after actresses in Hollywood.

The Margot Robbie keeps the worst memories of filming. "I didn't know you could say, 'I've been se***lly harassed,'.

Behind every successful film The Wolf of Wall Street, there are hours of work, predisposition and focus. A team that is on the same path towards a common goal. In the middle, interpret that leave the skin and much more so that what is later seen on the screen is as effective as possible. Achieving this for the vast majority means immediate glory, to then go for eternal glory. Margot Robbie tells how much she spent on the set and the bad experience she has.

If you want to continue climbing the ladder in an industry like Hollywood, which almost every actor aims to reach, it is essential to start on the right foot. There are usually no second chances, beyond specific situations that are now irrelevant. In this context, the one who did all this -and by her own merit continues to rise- is Margot Robbie.

At 30 years old, she carries an exquisite journey on her shoulders. Papers that catapulted her, placing her at the top. In 2008, while parading on the best catwalks in the world as a model, her other passion, the Australian, made her debut as an actress with small appearances, but already leaving a registered mark. Although the exact moment in which she became known worldwide by movie lovers was in 2013. Her hard-working role in The Wolf of Wall Street was her before and after when it came to the big screen, the starting point to reach consecration and be what he is today: a figure in the entertainment industry.

However, Margot did not find it easy. During her filming, there were specific scenes that made her think about how invasive a job can be. Now, seven years after the debut of the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, the details of the recording days came to light that, due to the trauma, the actress remembers in great detail.

The blockbuster film (grossing $392 million) was inspired by stockbroker Jordan Belfort, who ran one of America's biggest money rackets. His ability to manipulate the market and make large profits, money laundering and others, made the Justice set their eyes on him. After prison, in 2008 she was released, began to write a book about her life, and ended up authorizing the making of the film of this story that we narrate.

In The Wolf of Wall Street, Margot Robbie put herself in the shoes of Noami Lapaglia. She was first the lover of the Belfort (Di Caprio), then she became his wife. Throughout the film, the Australian had to deal with risque scenes, and others of abuse, disappointment and violence. However, what traumatized her the most was her erotic sequence: she had to put her body on and deal with the environment and the work team.

Director Martin Scorsese confessed that he hired her for her role because of an unexpected act of bravery during her first audition. According to what they said, she Margot improvised a scene that was not in the script, leaving the entire room with their mouths open. She “she slapped DiCaprio in the face, that wasn't in the script. It was an improvisation that we thought was wonderful, and we even included it in the script,” Scorsese remarked.

The press consulted her about this event: she, Margot, replied that she gave everything she had to captivate and be hired. Then she added one of her maxims: “If you don't do something impressive, nothing will ever come of it. If it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, then take it. Maybe I should have kissed him... When will I have the chance to kiss Leo Di Caprio? But when the slap thing happened, the other part of my brain clicked! And I hit Di Caprio in the face."

An anecdote that has grace and that paints his desire to stand out to achieve the goal. Words that are mixed between the enthusiasm for making the world leap and showing that he can be on a par with the best in Hollywood. But that smile would fade later. And years later, she would be encouraged to talk about his suffering.

The real reason Margot Robbie doesn't want to be Harley Quinn anymore

Margot Robbie wants to get away from the beloved Harley Quinn, among other things, because she needs a break from the craziness of her character.

Superhero movies, many things happen in them, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but the truth is that the plots are usually so fast that not even the protagonists themselves even know the deepest details of their own characters. This happens for example to Margot Robbie with Harley Quinn in the 'Snyder Cut'.

Harley Quinn has been a character remembered and portrayed by Margot Robbie in three movies over the past five years, with starring roles in 2016's 'Suicide Squad,' 2020's 'Birds of Prey,' and now James Gunn's 'The Suicide Squad.' which will be released in theaters and on HBO Max on August 6.

The real reason Margot Robbie doesn't want to be Harley Quinn anymore

 

Margot Robbie is going to need a good break before returning to play Harley Quinn, the actress recently revealed to Entertainment Weekly that it's time for her to take a much-needed break from the character after Robbie appears as the titular anti-hero in James's upcoming film. Gunn.

'The Suicide Squad' will mark the Oscar nominee's third time playing the DC villain. For a character as over-the-top as Harley, we can't blame Robbie for needing some time off to play her.

Robbie stated, "I was like, 'Oof, I need a break from Harley because she's exhausting,'" she told the outlet. "I don't know when we'll see her next time." Margot also admitted that she's "just as intrigued as everyone else," which at least gives us hope that she's not done for good.

The 'I, Tonya' actress' comments have thrown up a 'Gotham City Sirens' movie idea that seems to be stuck in development hell. Since Robbie doesn't know when she'll be back as Harley, we can assume that project won't be happening any time soon.

During the interview with Robbie, it was also revealed to the actress what happens to her character at the end of 'Justice League, Snyder Cut'. Turns out she didn't know until very recently that it's suggested in the post-credits scene of 'Knightmare' that Harley is dead. "What? I didn't know. Thanks for telling me!"

While taking a break from Harley, Robbie has plenty of other projects that will allow her to channel other famous characters, she is currently set to play Barbie herself in Greta Gerwig's live-action movie, the actress will find herself playing someone completely opposite of the bad of Gotham.

Unless Gerwig's Barbie wields a skull-crushing bat, she'll certainly be a different version of her iconic character, that is. Robbie will star in other future projects, including Babylon, Ruin and David O. Russell's highly anticipated untitled project.
