Margot Robbie slapped DiCaprio for his role as The Wolf of Wall Street
The actress reached out to kiss him, but she ended up slapping him and, after a long silence, Scorsese and DiCaprio laughed.
Entering Hollywood is not that easy and many great actors have forged their way starting with small roles, while others have done it through the blows. In the latter, you can find Jean Claude Van Damme, Dwayne Johnson, Jackie Chan and Margot Robbie.
At the Wolf of Wall Street audition, Robbie had “literally 30 seconds to be in that room and do something really impressive.” Surprisingly, the actress opted to slap actor Leonardo DiCaprio to get her big role as The Wolf of Wall Street.
She “she got the part of him in The Wolf of Wall Street in our first meeting, by slapping Leonardo DiCaprio that was not planned. His improvisation left us perplexed, ”explains Martin Scorsese, director of the film.
The scene was a couple's argument in which both actors shouted at each other until Leo told him: "You would be happy with a husband like me, so come here and kiss me." At that moment, the actress reached out to kiss him, but she ended up slapping him and, after a long silence, Scorsese and DiCaprio laughed and told her to repeat it.
Undoubtedly, this daring action has been important for the career of the actress who, since then, has participated in films such as Suicide Squad and The Legend of Tarzan and continues to achieve success.
