Margot Robbie issued warning after extremely painful sex scene with Leonardo DiCaprio

Margot Robbie issued a rather unusual warning to her fans after admitting that a Wolf of Wall Street sex scene was actually pretty painful to film.

The 33-year-old Aussie star had a breakthrough role as Naomi Lapaglia in the Martin Scorsese flick - starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio who played her on-screen husband Jordan Belfort.

The movie has more than its fair share of steamy scenes, with Robbie previously revealing that her brother was unable to speak to her after her full frontal nude scene. Understandable.

Speaking during an interview on the Screen Time podcast, Robbie said she watched The Wolf of Wall Street with her family, which I reckon is either pretty bold or not particularly well thought out given the movie’s adult content.

And one of her brothers found it a particularly difficult watch - so much so, he needed a few weeks off from speaking to Robbie to try and get his head around it.

"I can’t tell you how uncomfortable that was,” she said.

“One of my brothers didn’t speak to me for three months afterwards - not because he was mad, he was just, like: ‘I just need a minute before I can consider you my sister again!’" Yep, that seems fair enough to me.

However, while the scenes may have looked pretty raunchy on the big screen, Robbie has admitted that the reality was a lot less sexy.

Opening up about the scene where she and DiCaprio have sex on a bed piled with money, she told The Independent: “I got a million paper cuts on my back from all that money! It’s not as glamorous as it sounds.”

Offering a word of warning for everyone who fancies giving it a go themselves, she added: “If anyone is ever planning on having sex on top of a pile of cash: don’t. Or maybe real money is a bit softer, but the fake money is like paper, and when I got up off the bed, I turned around to get my robe and everyone gasped. I said, ‘What is it?’ And they said, ‘You look like you’ve been whipped a million times. Your back is covered in a thousand red scratches.”

Robbie has previously said that she initially felt hesitant about the nude scenes, despite her manager telling her that 'if there’s ever going to be a time for nudity, this is the director you do it with’.

However, she ultimately changed her mind as she felt that the nudity was in keeping with Naomi’s character.
