Margot Robbie Wolf Of Wall Street Regret

Margot Robbie has undoubtedly been one of the most in-demand actors of the past decade. Since her star-making turn in director Martin Scorsese's 2013 fact-based crime drama The Wolf of Wall Street, Robbie has rocketed to superstardom, stealing the show as the eccentric supervillain Harley Quinn in 2016's Suicide Squad, and reprising the role for 2020's Birds of Prey and the reboot-slash-sequel The Suicide Squad in 2021.

On top of that, she has often been in awards season conversations, having earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination for playing the title role in the 2017 Tonya Harding biopic I, Tonya and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination as one of the alleged targets of sexual harassment by Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes (John Lithgow) in the 2019 fact-based drama Bombshell.

Adding to that a role as screen legend Sharon Tate in writer-director Quentin Tarantino's 2019 revisionist Tinseltown comedy-drama Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood, it's pretty safe to guess Robbie has made enough cash over the past decade to stuff away in her mattresses and pillowcases — safe and secure places, so long the bills stay there.

In The Wolf of Wall Street, Margot Robbie joined a group of actors who filmed love scenes that they eventually regretted. Playing Naomi Lapaglia, the fictional second wife (via History vs. Hollywood) of millionaire stockbroker Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), Robbie filmed several sensual scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio, including one where Naomi and Jordan made love on a bed of cash.

Like most film productions, fake cash was used in The Wolf of Wall Street, and as it turns out, the bills — produced by prolific movie moneymaker RJR Props (via CNN) — left Robbie with an unusual cautionary tale to tell. In a 2017 interview with The Daily Beast, Robbie exclaimed, I got a million paper cuts on my back from all that money! It's not as glamorous as it sounds. If anyone is ever planning on having sex on top of a pile of cash: don't.

One thing Robbie found out is that the texture of movie money is different from the real thing, and she found out what sort of damage such a difference can make with some shocking observations from people on the set.

Maybe real money is a bit softer, but the fake money is like paper, and when I got up off the bed, I turned around to get my robe and everyone gasped, Robbie recalled during the interview. I said, 'What is it?' And they said, 'you look like you've been whipped a million times. Your back is covered in a thousand red scratches.'

Turns out, Margot Robbie's uncomfortable love scene with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio was one of many that stuck with the Australian actor long after the cameras stopped rolling. The Wolf of Wall Street star also revealed to The Daily Beast which scene was the most bonkers to film. The scene she pointed to is, arguably, one of the most memorable sequences in the 2013 Martin Scorsese-directed pic.

Every single scene was absolutely insane, Robbie replied when asked by The Daily Beast which scene was the wildest to commit to film. She continued, Definitely the Quaalude scene. I remember sitting there going, 'I will never, ever film a scene like this again.'

Which 'the Wolf Of Wall Street' Scene Does Margot Robbie Regret Filming?

For those folks who need their memories jogged, that once-in-a-lifetime scene — the Quaalude scene — occurs in the final act of The Wolf of Wall Street. At this point in the movie, Jordan drives out to his country club to make an important call. Unfortunately, the Qualuudes he and Donnie (Jonah Hill) took that he believed were expired were, in fact, still active. As the effects of the drug kick in, Jordan also realizes he's in serious trouble over his business dealings. Over the course of 10 minutes, a sequence unfolds wherein Jordan, now extremely high, has to crawl his way back to his car, drive home, yell at an equally high Donnie for double-crossing him, and then save Donnie after he starts choking on a piece of ham. Meanwhile, a pregnant Naomi is left to watch and worry. It's no wonder the scene left such a big impression on Robbie.

Margot Robbie muses over the frustrations of stardom and reflects on one of her lowest moments after Wolf Of Wall Street premiered

Ranking The Movies Of Margot Robbie From Worst To Best

The trials and tribulations of fame have caused many a star to wonder: How can I go on? Funny how most of them seem to go on anyway. But that doesn’t negate how invasive and cruel fame can be, as Margot Robbie learned after starring in Martin Scorsese’s Wolf Of Wall Street at just 22 years old. The blonde bombshell role catapulted her to stardom so intense that she considered hitting the brakes on her career entirely.

Was one of Robbie’s “lowest moments, ” according to a new profile in Vanity Fair. “Something was happening in those early stages and it was all pretty awful, and I remember saying to my mom, ‘I don’t think I want to do this, ’” she recalls. “And she just looked at me, completely straight-faced, and was like, ‘Darling, I think it’s too late

Among the actor’s classic frustrations are fake tabloid news (“You want to correct it, but you just can’t. You have to, I don’t know, look the other way”) and press junkets. “They only want sound bites and I don’t resent them for it, I get it—they’ve got three minutes, ” she shares. “But it’s like tap dancing through a minefield because you’re so tired and you’ve done it for hours and hours, and to keep on guard all the time…. You can say it right a thousand times, but you say it wrong once, you’re fucked.”

Robbie herself has become accustomed to an A-lister’s life: “I know how to go through airports, and now I know who’s trying to fuck me over in what ways.” What bothers her, understandably, is when her family gets caught in the crossfire. “If my mom dies in a car accident because you wanted a photo of me going in the grocery shop, or you knock my nephew off a bike—for what? For a photo? It’s dangerous but still weirdly nothing feels like it changes.”

Put that way, one does wonder why anyone would sign up for stardom. “The way I try to explain this job—and this world—to people is that the highs are really high, and the lows are really, really low, ” Robbie tells the outlet. “And I guess if you’re lucky, it all balances out in the middle.”Please subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates from Your Next Shoes.

Released to rave reviews when it premiered in 2013, The Wolf of Wall Street was not only popular with critics but immensely popular with audiences as well, ending its theatrical run with an impressive box office gross of $116 million USD.

If you’ve ever seen the film, you’d know exactly why it was such a hit with audiences in particular. The plot of the film is off-the-rails and features scenes of debauchery, drug use, and non-stop partying and indulgence helmed by protagonist Jordan Belfort (played by Leonardo DiCaprio).

Starring alongside DiCaprio is Jonah Hill as Belfort’s unhinged business associate Donnie Azoff, and Margot Robbie, who famously plays Belfort’s sultry mistress (and later wife), Naomi Lapaglia.

Margot Robbie’s performance as Lapaglia was easily one of the most recognizable of the film, as her striking beauty and spunky personality helped to shape some of the most memorable scenes of the film, especially when she shared the screen with the enigmatic DiCaprio, who’s performance as Belfort was also one of the most popular of the year.

Despite all the fanfare for Robbie’s performance, the actress has gone on to state on record that she regrets certain aspects of it in retrospect.
