There is only one movie you can watch where you get to see an authentic nude scene from Margot Robbie and that's her first major hit, The Wolf of Wall Street.

This role is something that many believe was what put Robbie on the map after starring in Neighbours for years.

No longer was she the schoolgirl with long blonde hair and a strong Aussie twang, but a refined Brooklyn native who likes to wear high heels and slinky dresses.

In her role for Wolf of Wall Street, Robbie played Naomi Lapaglia, a former model and the true-to-life second wife of the ultimate stockbroker Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), after cheating on his first wife (Cristin Milioti).

The characters first meet at a party at Belfort's house, before later going for dinner together where Jordan explains that they can be friends when she appears to be nervous that he has a wife (she also has a boyfriend, by the way), but then Naomi tells Jordan they're not going to be friends.

That's when they go to her apartment and Naomi asks if he would like to come in for some tea.

Well, as it would happen - the next scene doesn't include any tea.

In fact, Naomi askes Jordan to start a fire while she freshens up and while he's debating to leave, she appears in the doorway wearing nothing but stockings and heels - which is something that Robbie insisted on.

Speaking to The Telegraph shortly after the movie was released, she explained why she wanted to play the scene that way, even after director Martin Scorsese suggested she could wear something if she was uncomfortable.

She said: "I think nudity for the sake of nudity is shameful. If they've put it in just so that a girl gets her top off, then that's disgusting. And you can always tell.

"But I also think it's disgusting when someone would have got naked in real life, in the film they conveniently leave their bra on, or hold up the bed sheet. Seeing someone being choreographed into being covered up irritates me just as much.

"The whole point of Naomi is that her body is her only form of currency in this world.

"So when Marty [Scorsese] was trying to help me out, and said in the scene where she seduces Jordan perhaps I could have a robe on, I said she wouldn't.

"She has to be naked. She's laying her cards on the table."

Robbie said she was apprehensive about doing the nude scene as it would end up on the internet pretty much forever.

However, she chose to play it the way she thought was best as it would be the thing most true to the character.

In a later interview, the Barbie star said that shooting scenes that looked pretty racy on the big screen were actually done in 'a tiny bedroom with 30 crew crammed in'.

She said it was 'a very weird thing' being in a small room with a bunch of men for 17 hours to shoot the scene but explained that 'you have to bury the embarrassment and absurdity, really deep, and fully commit'.
