“Did you really just do that?”: Margot Robbie Slapping Leonardo DiCaprio Wasn’t the Only Thing That Surprised Veteran Actor on the Sets of Martin Scorsese Drama

From making her small screen debut in 2008 to playing the lead role in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, Margot Robbie has come a long way. Gradually, she started to work in different genres of films, where she played different roles and showcased a wide range of emotions that showcased her talent. Time and again she has entertained the audience with her exceptional talent and it was evident when she made her breakthrough in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of the Wall Street.

Margot Robbie played the role of Naomi Lapaglia. Not only was she visually striking in the film but also her portrayal was loved by the viewers as she played the role with striking confidence, layered complexity, and a commanding presence. But what made the film more interesting to watch was not just the script but the improvisations made during the scenes, something that surprised both Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese.

Margot Robbie Surprised Leonardo DiCaprio During A Steamy Scene
Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street was the stepping stone in Margot Robbie’s career, as the dark humor film showcased an outstanding plot, a real portrayal of extravagance and greed, and a strong performance from its cast. The film features a lot of steamy moments but while shooting the s*x scene Leonardo DiCaprio’s young co-star surprised him by physically moving him out of her way.

While talking to Manhattan Magazine, Margot Robbie explained that while shooting the intimate moment in the movie, she pushed DiCaprio’s head out of the way, and it surprised him.

“We were positioned while they lit around us in one scene, and I kind of pushed Leo’s head to one side and told him he was in my light and he moved out of [it]. I don’t think anyone has told him to get out of their light in quite some time. He seemed extremely [shocked], but it was kind of funny.”

The 2013 drama film was a major hit at the box office as the film earned $389.8 million at the worldwide box office, with an additional $40 million in DVD sales, and the film won several awards and nominations.

Margot Robbie Misspelled A Word While Making Tattoos

It is a common practice among celebrities to take memorabilia from the films they have been a part of. The Barbie actress preferred to take a tattoo gun from the set of Suicide Squad, as she has a passion for making tattoos. She thought that it would be a brilliant idea to make matching tattoos for the entire cast and crew of the movie.

“At first I had to really beg people and then it kind of like became a thing,” the actress added. “I did spell one wrong once, that was extreme. I was writing a word and I spelled it wrong.”

Robbie was tattooing the entire cast and writing the word ‘Skwad’ on their arms. However, the idea soon turned into a nightmare as she made a massive blunder because she misspelled the entire word. Instead of writing ‘skwad’, she wrote ‘swad.’ And her first participant regretted getting the tattoo the most. Scared of a miswritten word tattooed on their arm many people went to Will Smith instead of Robbie.
