Margot Robbie needed some liquid courage before filming a certain scene from The Wolf of Wall Street.
Robbie spoke about her experience making the 2013 Martin Scorcese drama during a “Life in Pictures” discussion hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts on November 22, particularly a ɴuᴅᴇ Sєx scene with costar Leonardo DiCaprio. “I’m not going to lie, I had a couple of sH๏τs of tequila before that scene because I was nervous…very, very nervous,” Robbie said, per the Daily Mirror.
In the years following, Margot Robbie has become one of those rare movie stars to consistently put out awards-season darlings as well as superhero blockbusters. She’s played Harley Quinn in multiple DC ventures and has been nominated for two Oscars: best actress for I, Tonya in 2018 and best-supporting actress for Bombshell in 2020. Next up, the 32-year-old is set to headline Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated Barbie movie alongside Ryan Gosling—and she was slightly nervous to take on that role as well!
“It comes with a lot of baggage!” Robbie told British Vogue in June 2021. “And a lot of nostalgic connections. But with that comes a lot of exciting ways to attack it.”
