Margot Robbie’s Audition for ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ Takes an Unexpected Turn

In a surprising turn of events during her audition for the film ‘The Wolf of Wall Street,' Margot Robbie found herself slapping Leonardo DiCaprio.

The move was completely unscripted and caught everyone off guard, including DiCaprio himself.

However, this unconventional approach paid off for Robbie.

She secured the lead female role in the movie, and DiCaprio, although shocked, actually asked her to slap him again.

Director Martin Scorsese, speaking about the audition in Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People Issue, commended Robbie for her boldness.

He stated that she sealed her part in the film during their initial meeting by delivering a powerful slap to DiCaprio's face, describing it as an improvisation that left everyone stunned.

Robbie also shared her experience of the audition in an interview with Harper's Bazaar.

She revealed the thoughts running through her mind when she decided to slap DiCaprio's “beautifully chiselled cheek.”

Realizing that time was running out in the audition room, she felt the need to do something impressive.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she took it.

The interaction between them escalated quickly, with both of them shouting at each other.

DiCaprio's intensity added to the challenge of keeping up with him.

As the scene approached its climax, he said, “You should be happy to have a husband like me.

Now get over here and kiss me.”

In that moment, Robbie contemplated kissing him, thinking it might be her only chance to ever do so.

However, another part of her brain clicked, and instead of kissing him, she spontaneously decided to give him a strong slap.

Adding to the unexpected twist, she screamed, “F**k you!”

These actions were not part of the script, leaving the room in dead silence as Robbie froze.

Fortunately, what could have been a disastrous audition turned out to be a pivotal moment for Robbie's career.

She has no regrets about giving DiCaprio an unforgettable slap.

While this audacious move worked out well for Robbie, it's not advisable career advice that others should follow.
