Margot Robbie Leonardo Dicaprio

For Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio more than lived up to his reputation in The Wolf of Wall Street. So much so that she experienced a phenomenon with DiCaprio that she never experienced with any other co-star.

Most new-comers might find it nerve-racking to work alongside megastar Leonardo DiCaprio. But when Robbie was first tapped to audition for Wolf of Wall Street, she didn’t have time to focus on her future co-star. All she honed in on was delivering a good audition.

“I was more nervous about my audition so I didn’t have time to worry about, ‘Oh I’m about to meet Leo and Marty.’ It was all so last minute that I didn’t have time to be nervous about the whole process. That was probably a good thing in hindsight, ” she said in an interview with Grazia.

“He’s an incredible actor, everyone knows that, but he’s also a really awesome down to earth person so it was a really lovely experience. I was very fortunate, ” she added.

Some of Robbie’s personal time with DiCaprio included watching Youtube videos about endangered species. DiCaprio has always been an advocate of maintaining the health of the planet. Although the Suicide Squad star admired this side of DiCaprio, she wasn’t exactly thrilled watching those videos with the star.

“I was so bored, ” she once told The Globe and Mail. “But he’s so passionate about it. He’s a really cool guy.”

When it came to getting back to work, Robbie confided that there were many times she was floored by DiCaprio’s performance. So much so that at times the actor forgot she was even in the movie.

“He’s honestly the most talented actor I’ve ever come across. I really don’t know how to explain it, ” she added. “He’s so believable that I forget I’m acting when I act opposite him. I’ve never experienced that with anyone else.”

. “[Martin] Scorsese and myself were blown away by how much she gave back to the scene, fought back and we both immediately knew she was going to have an incredible career.”

Robbie once recalled a time where she temporarily blinded her co-star thanks to doing too many takes. The scene in question had Robbie repeatedly throwing a glass of water in DiCaprio’s face. But the Oscar-winner’s commitment to the scene seemed to have stopped him from telling Robbie about how the take was affecting him.

“It was like, and this is going to sound really bizarre, some how got up inside his eyelids and I was temporarily blinding him, ” Robbie once said in an interview with LRM Online. “He didn’t tell me until like the fourth take. Every time he would be doing [hands hit the table] this and I was like God, he’s a good actor. And then by the 4th time he says you need to like throw it at my chin or something. I was like what’s wrong? He’s like I cannot see anything! I was like I’m so sorry, why didn’t you say anything!? Yea, we did that a lot of times. I felt really bad.”Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie spent six months working together on their 2013 film “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Though DiCaprio was a defined actor at the time, the movie served as Robbie’s breakthrough role. And there was one moment while filming that permanently changed DiCaprio’s perception of his co-star.

Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” was his highest-grossing film of all time. The movie recounts the life of Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio), a hot shot stockbroker who manages to make millions of dollars from advising people to invest in stocks that will yield little or no return. The methodology worked for a while, but eventually, it caught up with him.

The movie highlights Belfort’s luxury lifestyle and his marriage to his second wife, Nadine (Margot Robbie — renamed as Naomi for the film). It was DiCaprio and Robbie’s first time working together, and it also happened to be Robbie’s breakout role. The Australian actress had starred in only a few notable shows prior to Scorsese casting her in the film. She and DiCaprio developed a close bond while filming, and today, they still have nothing but positive words to share about each other. DiCaprio even recalled the moment he knew Robbie’s acting career was about to change forever.

Robbie was praised for her role as Naomi Belfort. She was equal parts glamorous and aggressive, and while she let Belfort get away with his lifestyle, she often copped an attitude right back at him whenever he spoke condescendingly to her.

DiCaprio knew that Naomi Belfort would take Robbie a long way. He revealed that one specific scene in the movie led him to fully understand his co-star’s potential. It all happened when Naomi threw a glass of water in her husband’s face after learning that he had cheated with a prostitute.

“… Seeing Margot come in and read that scene with me I just knew I was witnessing a dynamic presence in cinema that was about to be, ” he told The Sunday Project, according to Marie Claire. “[Martin] Scorcese and myself were blown away by how much she gave back to the scene, fought back, and we both immediately knew she was going to have an incredible career.”

DiCaprio and Scorsese were right in knowing that Robbie would go on to achieve massive stardom. In 2017, the actress starred in the biopic “I, Tonya.” She went on to star in “Mary Queen of Scots” (2018) and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” (2019) — another film where she and DiCaprio worked together.
