Wolf of Wall Street star Margot Robbie has revealed over a decade after the movie’s release that she was the brains behind its full-frontal nude scene. Robbie, who played alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2013 film, wanted to stick to what the character would do even though director Martin Scorsese told her she could wear a robe if that would be more comfortable. “That’s not what she would do in that scene,” she told Talking Pictures podcast host Ben Mankiewicz in an episode last week. “The whole point is that she’s going to come out completely naked—that’s the card she’s playing.” She also revealed other times she took creative liberties when it came to the movie, including slapping DiCaprio’s character when he asked for a kiss.“The tone had been set that it was a bit of a free for all. It was like the crazier you are, the more Marty will like it. And the more screen time you’re going to get,” Robbie said.
