Margot Robbie once made a pretty surprising confession about her nude scene on The Wolf Of Wall Street.
The 34-year-old Aussie actress starred in the 2013 Martin Scorsese flick alongside fellow Hollywood A-listers Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, Cristin Milioti, Jon Favreau and Jon Bernthal.
The satirical biographical black comedy is based on Jordan Belfort's 2007 memoir of the same name.

It follows the career of Belfort - played by DiCaprio - as a stockbroker in New York City and how his firm, Stratton Oakmont, got twisted up in extreme corruption and fraud on Wall Street which ultimately lead to his downfall.
In the film, Robbie stars as Belfort's second wife, Naomi Lapaglia, who leaves his first wife - played by Milioti - for.
In one scene where Robbie's character attempts to seduce DiCaprio, the actress decided she wanted to go against Scorsese's direction and take a risk in what would go on to become her major break-out role.
At first, the director told Robbie she could wear a robe for the scene if it made her more comfortable, but she clearly had a different idea - she wanted to do the whole thing 'completely naked'.
Speaking on the Talking Pictures: A Movie Memories podcast, Robbie explained: "That’s not what she would do in that scene. The whole point is that she’s going to come out completely naked - that’s the card she’s playing."
And that was far from Robbie's only bold move when it came to the film, given the fact she actually slapped DiCaprio right across the face during her final audition for the role.
"I thought, I could kiss Leonardo DiCaprio right now, and that would be awesome," she revealed on the podcast.
"I can’t wait to tell all of my friends this. And then I thought… nah. And just walloped him in the face."
Robbie continued: "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 imagined being told: "'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'."
