Margot Robbie looks back on her full-frontal nudity scenes in movies The Wolf of Wall Street.
when appearing in talking pictures During a podcast with Turner Classic Movies’ Ben Mankiewicz, the actress reflected on 2013’s Martin Scorsese starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio Martin Scorsese movie experience. The role – playing Naomila Paglia, the wife of DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort – marked Robbie’s breakthrough film role in her early 20s.
In the film, Robbie has a full-frontal nudity scene, which she said she fought for even though Scorsese offered her an alternative.

Scorsese and DiCaprio approved of the choice, laughing.
“They just burst out laughing. Leo and Marty were laughing so hard. They said, ‘That’s great,'” Robbie said. “You’re going to get arrested, I’m pretty sure it was assault or battery,” she recalled with a laugh. “Not only will you never work again, you’re actually going to go to jail for it, you idiot. And, why did you To hit him so harshly? You should have been gentler.
