Margot Robbie’s ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ Audition is AMAZING

Date:

Margot Robbie recently made into Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people. But it would be plural in the Martin Scorsese your phone the Wolf of Wall Street that helped her become one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

In a recent interview, Scorsese described 26-year-old actors as “like no one else,” and comparing her talent to Hollywood’s most famous actresses. “Margot has all this in addition to a unique audacity that surprises and challenges and just burns like a brand into every character she plays,” he wrote.

Scorsese also revealed how Robbie landed the role opposite of Leonardo DiCaprio in the Wolf of Wall Street.

“She clinched her part in The Wolf of Wall Street during our first meeting,” wrote Scorsese, “by hauling off and giving Leonardo DiCaprio a thunderclap of a slap on the face, an improvisation that stunned us all.”

In an interview two years ago with Harpers Bazaar about the audition, Robbie explained she took a risk that she had to take.

“I start screaming at him, and he’s yelling back at me. And he’s 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.”

Initially, Robbie was worried DiCaprio would have her arrested, but luckily, Scorsese and DiCaprio just started laughing.

“Margot is stunning in all she is and all she does,” he ends his Time story with, “and she will astonish us forever.”
