Margot Robbie refused to do 'impossible' x-rated scene in Wolf of Wall Street that led to iconic moment in movie

There was one scene that Margot Robbie said would be 'impossible' for her to film

Margot Robbie has opened up about the one scene she refused to film in Wolf of Wall Street.

The Martin Scorsese classic follows the real-life story of millionaire stockbroker Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Meanwhile, Robbie featured as Naomi Lapaglia, Belfort's wife. Although the movie wasn't Robbie's debut, it's arguably the film that catapulted her to success - and one of the most iconic scenes saw Robbie's character, Namoi seducing Jordan in their child's nursery.

Despite Robbie thinking that she'd 'slip under the radar' in the movie, the nursery scene in particular has since become iconic, with even the 'real life' Naomi - Dr Nadine Macaluso, who was the basis for Robbie’s character - speaking about the scene.

On her TikTok, she said: “So many of you ask me – ‘is that scene in the nursery real?’ Well, I’m gonna break it down for you.

“Do you remember that scene where Margot is laying back and Jordan comes in and Margot – me – had the baby in her arms and she’s so mad at him for cheating on her for the hundredth time, and so she’s in the nursery and she lifts up her leg and says ‘there’s going to be nothing but short skirts around here’ – did that ever happen?

“No way! I am not that sexy. I wish I was, but I think that was my ex-husband’s fantasy of what he wanted me to be like.

“Secondly, there were cameras in the room, but I did not perform that sexual seductive act towards him.”

Despite the scene being so well known now, it once looked quite different in the script.

In the movie, Naomi pokes her stiletto heel into Jordan's face, but in the original script, Robbie was supposed to pull aside her underwear, using her heel.

But immediately after reading the script, Robbie knew the request was physically impossible.

“I remember thinking when I read it, ‘That’s just impossible,'” Robbie said in an interview with The Globe and Mail.

“I was like, ‘No, I’m right, that is absolutely impossible."

Robbie ended up improvising the scene that made it into the movie, but it still wasn't the most straightforward to film, with the actor opening up on what it was like behind the scenes.

“It doesn’t come across when you’re watching the movie, but in reality we’re in a tiny bedroom with 30 crew crammed in,” she told Porter.

“All men. And for 17 hours I’m pretending to be touching myself.

"It’s just a very weird thing and you have to bury the embarrassment and absurdity, really deep, and fully commit.”
