Margot Robbie punched Alexander Skarsgård during a sex scene in the movie ‘The Legend of Tarzan’.
As if The Legend of Tarzan rumors couldn’t get any crazier. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the movie’s director, David Yates, revealed an on-set mistake between Margot Robbie and Alexander Skarsgard during a sex scene.

Apparently, Margot Robbie punched Alexander Skarsgard during the sex scene. Ouch.
“They’re doing this love scene together, and I said [to Robbie], ‘Just slap Alex while you’re making love, just kind of give him a punch,’’” Yates says. Okay then!
As he pointed out, the scene didn’t end up going as planned. “It was sort of an earthy, sensual moment of her enjoying sex with Alex, and the only bruise he picked up during the entire shoot was probably that punch from Margot. Which says a lot about her feistiness.”

Despite getting punched and bruised, Skarsgard was a good sport and I bet he didn’t mind getting punched by the beautiful Margot Robbie. In fact, Skarsgard pointed out that he firmly believes that Jane is not a damsel in distress, waiting for a man to save her. Instead she’s an independent woman who knows what she wants out of life.
“It was very important that we didn’t want it to feel archaic or dated, where it’s like, tough guy has to save the poor girl,” he said. “You have to feel that she’s strong and independent, and when you cast Margot, you’ll definitely get that.”

It’s important to point out that this is not the first time Margot Robbie punched a co-star. Apparently, Robbie slapped Leonardo DiCaprio on set of Wolf of Wall Street. Robbie revealed what happened in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. The Australian actress revealed that she slapped DiCaprio as she was trying to find something to stand out during her audition. Here’s what happened:

In my head I was like, ‘You have literally 30 seconds left in this room and if you don’t do something impressive nothing will ever come of it. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance, just take it.’ And so I start screaming at him and he’s yelling back at me. And he’s really scary. I can barely keep up.
And he ends it saying, ‘You should be happy to have a husband like me. Now get over here and kiss me.’ So I walk up really close to his face and then I’m like, ‘Maybe I should kiss him. When else am I ever going to get a chance to kiss Leo DiCaprio, ever?’
But another part of my brain clicks and I just go, Whack! I hit him in the face. And then I scream, ‘Fuck you!’ And that’s not in the script at all. The room just went dead silent and I froze.
After slapping one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, Robbie admitted that she was afraid that she was going to get arrested or told that she would never work in Hollywood again. Thankfully, the opposite happened Martin Scorsese and Leonardo Caprio both started laughing. In fact, DiCaprio enjoyed getting hist by Robbie so much that he asked her to “Hit me again!”
I guess there’s a method to Margot Robbie’s madness.
