Margot Robbie is reflecting on her full-frontal moment in The Wolf of Wall Street.
The Barbie superstar spoke out on the Talking Pictures podcast about her role in the Martin Scorsese film, and revealed how it was actually her idea.
Although the director said she could wear a robe if it made her more comfortable, Margot said was her idea to strip down and bare it all for one memorable scene of her character Naomi seducing Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio).

“That’s not what she would do in that scene,” she explained. “The whole point is that she’s going to come out completely naked—that’s the card she’s playing.”
She also made the creative decision to slap Leo in her final audition, when the scene called for a kiss.
“I thought, I could kiss Leonardo DiCaprio right now, and that would be awesome. I can’t wait to tell all of my friends this. And then I thought… nah. And just walloped him in the face,” she recalled.
“It was dead silence for what felt like an eternity but was probably three seconds,” she added. “Then they just burst out laughing. Leo and Marty were laughing so hard, they said ‘that was great.’ I was thinking, I’m going to get arrested, I’m pretty sure that’s assault, battery.”
“‘Not only will you never work again, actually you will go to jail for this, you idiot. And also why did you have to hit him so hard? You should have done it lighter,’” she recounted.
She also said she’s still confused how Babylon flopped.
