10 Things You Didn't Know About Margot Robbie

4. She Punched Leonardo DiCaprio In The Face... For Real...

Many actors have sensational stories from how they got their big break in the film industry, but Robbie's surely must be one of the greatest after attacking one of the world's finest actors during her Wolf Of Wall Street audition. She told Harper's Bazaar: "In my head I was like, €˜You have literally 30 seconds left in this room and if you don€™t do something impressive nothing will ever come of it. It€™s a once-in-a-lifetime chance, just take it.€™ And so I start screaming at him and he€™s yelling back at me. And he€™s really scary. I can barely keep up. And he ends it saying, €˜You should be happy to have a husband like me. Now get over here and kiss me.€™ "So I walk up really close to his face and then I€™m like, €˜Maybe I should kiss him. When else am I ever going to get a chance to kiss Leo DiCaprio, ever?€™ But another part of my brain clicks and I just go, Whack! I hit him in the face. And then I scream, €˜F**k you!€™ And that€™s not in the script at all. The room just went dead silent and I froze.€ Martin Scorsese found the incident hilarious, and DiCaprio even told her to do it again. She got the part, and changed her life with one swing of her fist.
