Margot Robbie Wolf Of Wall Street Wig

Margot Robbie has been discussing nudity in period films on (unsurprisingly) an Australian podcast. They talk about the opening scene of the 1920s-set Babylon, which features a debauched party featuring an awful lot of nudity.

Robbie and her co-star Diego Calva say that you quickly get used to it, and become desensitized to all of the nudity after filming for days on end. The hosts – the delightfully named Fitzy and Wippa – asked about a particular challenge of finding people who look authentic in a period film, even when nude; “I’ve heard that a lot of the time, it’s actually quite hard to find women with real breasts (not enhanced by surgery) and pubic hair…”

Robbie responds; “They have things called merkins, which is a wig but for genitalia. I remember on Wolf of Wall Street, there was an entire merkin room…a room full of merkins. I guess people would go and pick out (the one they wanted). I’m not going to go into detail, but it was fascinating and a little-known fact about the filmmaking industry. Yes…merkins.”

The actor - who is now one of the biggest names in Hollywood - was a guest on Aussie radio show Fitzy & Wippa, where the hosts asked her about how she coped with all the nudity in her latest movie,

Curious about how they accurately portrayed the nudity in the comedy-drama, set in 1920s Hollywood, Wippa replied: When you've got a period piece, I've heard that a lot of the time it's quite hard to find women with real breasts and pubic hair.

But I also think it's disgusting when someone would have got naked in real life, in the film they conveniently leave their bra on, or hold up the bed sheet. Seeing someone being choreographed into being covered up irritates me just as much.

She continued: The whole point of Naomi is that her body is her only form of currency in this world. So when Marty [Scorsese] was trying to help me out, and said in the scene where she seduces Jordan perhaps I could have a robe on, I said she wouldn't. She has to be naked. She's laying her cards on the table.
