Margot Robbie has no regrets about her racy scenes in The Wolf of Wall Street.

Margot, 34, made an appearance on the Talking Pictures podcast recently, where she admitted to insisting the director Martin Scorsese stick with the script despite the extremely racy scenes.

The actress recalled how the director, 82, offered to adjust the scene for her comfort but she disagreed.

“Maybe you can be wearing a robe if you’re not comfortable,” Margot recalled his words.

“But I said, ‘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.'”

The Barbie star also disclosed that it took multiple attempts to land the role of Naomi Lapaglia opposite the male lead Leonardo DiCaprio.

“My managers made me redo my audition tape five times because it wasn’t good enough,” she said.

During the pivotal audition scene–where Naomi throws water in Jordan Belfort’s face–Margot recalls making a bold choice at the time, “I thought, I could kiss Leonardo DiCaprio right now, and that would be awesome,” she said on the podcast.

The actress recounted instant doubt over her stunt which could have turned out wrong.

“I can’t wait to tell all of my friends this. And then I thought… nah. And just walloped him in the face. It was dead silence for what felt like an eternity but was probably three seconds.”

“And 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.”
