Margot Robbie has revealed that the choice to go nude in The Wolf of Wall Street was actually her idea all along.

The Barbie actress, 34, has boasted about going “completely naked” while starring in The Wolf of Wall Street, even though director Martin Scorsese insisted that she should wear a robe.

Scorsese said that the blonde beauty could wear a robe if she wanted to – but Margot decided against doing so and took creative direction into her own hands.

Speaking out on the Talking Pictures podcast, Margot has broken her silence on the nude scene and given listeners an insight into how it came about.

The scene saw her character Naomi seduce wealthy stockbroker Jordan Belfort, who was played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

“That’s not what she would do in that scene,” Margot said of her character wearing a robe.

“The whole point is that she’s going to come out completely naked — that’s the card she’s playing.”

Robbie’s scene-stealing role in The Wolf of Wall Street kickstarted her Hollywood career.

And Margot’s creative input didn’t stop there, because during her audition, she slapped Leonardo instead of kissing him.

“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.

“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.”

She then joked that they could have said to her, “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.”

The interview comes shortly after Margot welcomed her first child.

The Australian actress gave birth to a baby boy on October 17, according to several reports.

She reportedly went into labor just before her due date.

She was spotted showcasing her growing baby bump as she attended the Wimbledon Championships tennis tournament in England with her husband, the film producer Tom Ackerley.

Margot started dating Tom in 2014 after they met on the set of the French WWII movie Suite Française the year prior.

Then, earlier this year, the news broke that the couple were expecting their first child together.

At the time, a source said that the couple had “wanted to start a family for quite some time.”

The insider went on to add, “Family means a lot to both of them and they knew early on in their relationship being parents was something they really wanted.

“They’ve been keeping it under wraps for a while but are happy the news is out.”
