**LOS ANGELES, CA** – Margot Robbie has revealed she was the driving force behind two of the most memorable scenes in Martin Scorsese’s *The Wolf of Wall Street*. Speaking on the Talking Pictures podcast, the Oscar-nominated actress confirmed that the decision for her character, Naomi, to appear completely nude while seducing Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort was entirely her own. While Scorsese offered her a robe, Robbie felt nudity was crucial to the scene’s impact.
Robbie also recounted her audacious audition, where she unexpectedly slapped DiCaprio instead of kissing him as directed. The unexpected move initially stunned Scorsese and DiCaprio, before erupting into laughter and earning her praise.
“The whole point is that she’s going to come out completely naked—that’s the card she’s playing,” Robbie explained regarding the nude scene. She also revealed that she initiated the idea for Naomi and Jordan to have a final sexual encounter before their divorce, adding that Scorsese fostered a creative environment where bold choices were encouraged. Robbie described the director as approachable and open to script revisions, though she noted he offered minimal direct instruction. Instead, he reportedly preferred sharing anecdotes rather than offering specific direction. The actress’s proactive approach to her character clearly paid off, contributing to the film’s lasting impact.
