Margot Robbie Opens Up About Bold Choices For Her Breakthrough Role in Scorsese’s Wolf of Wall Street: ‘Come Out Completely Naked’

Published by Parlour News

Margot Robbie reflects on the moment she agreed to go full-frontal nude in The Wolf of Wall Street. It was an idea she said director Martin Scorsese first presented her as one that could potentially be avoided.  Discussing her breakthrough role with Naomi Lapaglia for the first time, Robbie spoke about Scorsese approaching her to wear a robe if the scene was unbearable. However, Robbie believed the nudity was essential to the character because it highlighted the strategic use of her sexuality at a moment of control and power.  Robbie said on the Talking Pictures podcast, “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 right now.” At her audition for the 2013 film, Robbie’s bold instincts left an indelible mark. When the scene required her character to kiss Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort, Robbie chose to slap him instead. The room fell silent, then Scorsese and DiCaprio burst out laughing, praising her bold choice. Robbie briefly worried that she …

Martin Scorsese’s Sprawling Yet Intimate Epic

Published by Webster

A film still from Killers Of The Flower Moon Cast: Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, Brendan Fraser Director: Martin Scorsese Rating: Four stars (out of 5) A master riding the crest of a late-career high hits the ground running in Killers Of The Flower Moon, a sprawling yet intimate epic that combines elements of Martin Scorsese’s forte, the gangster film, with the conventions of a Western and the intriguing inflections of a noxious story of love. Above all, the three-and-a-half-hour epic is never sans the personal signature of a director who is not only in complete control of the medium and the material but is also fully aware of the potential of a tale of a reign of terror to convey the horrific depths to which the poison that swirls inside the machine that is American capitalism can seep. Adapted from David Grann’s 2017 non-fiction bestseller of the same name, the Eric Roth and Scorsese-scripted film journeys into the heart of the rapacity and amorality that overran the Osage Nation in …
