Real Wolf of Wall Street's ex-wife recalls speaking to Margot Robbie about taking her clothes off in movie

She gave the actress some insightful advice before shooting the scene

The Wolf of Wall Street was released in 2013, and it has already gone down as one of the classic films of the 21st century.

Based on the lavish, outrageous life of Jordan Belfort, the movie told the story of several people whose identities were protected through fake names.

One of whom was Belfort's ex-wife, Nadine Macaluso - played by Margot Robbie - who opened up about the film and her experiences with the ex-stock broker on the Anything Goes with James English podcast.

Some of the scenes in the film seem too crazy to be true, but it turns out that a lot of them did actually happen, as Macaluso said on the podcast that '90 percent' of the film is accurate.

In fact, for once, the film might actually be withholding some of the juicier stuff, with the now psychologist saying that it was actually 'even more over the top than what it showed'.

Host James English called The Wolf of Wall Street a 'great movie', saying that the people involved in the story seemed to benefit following the release of the movie, which Macaluso agreed with.

She said that she 'didn't speak about it much', but that she was more concerned about what her children would think of the film when it would be released.

The 56-year-old was even invited to a private screening prior to its release saying it 'wasn't that bad', but that she had no idea that it would perform so well.

English asked what kind of input she had into the movie, Macaluso said 'zero'.

However, she did actually meet Robbie, who was just 22-year-old at the time, and also revealed that they taped her accent for the Australian to study.

Macaluso said that she 'nailed' the role, and also said that they went to dinner before filming, where Robbie admitted that she was scared to take her clothes off in a racy scene with Leonardo DiCaprio, who was playing Belfort.

"That feeling that you feel right there Margot, speaking truth to power, is what I felt my whole marriage, so think about that when you're doing your role," she told the actress at the time.

"She did a great job, she was so good and funny and feisty," Macaluso admitted, even saying that she saw herself in Robbie's portrayal of her.

Admitting that she has seen the movie four or five times, the psychologist said that she gets upset watching it sometimes, depending on her mood.

Macaluso also opened up about the infamous party where she first met Belfort, and apparently it was just like how it was depicted in the movie.

She said: "I went to that party with my boyfriend and just like the movie shows, someone exposed themselves to me.

"I was totally freaked out, I said to him 'we gotta get outta here, these people are nuts'.

"I didn't know they were all on Quaaludes at the time, I was 22, I didn't even know what a Quaalude was, and we left.

"But then I guess Jordan had set his sights on me and decided he wanted to date me."
