10 Things You Didn't Know About Margot Robbie

3. She Got Drunk Before Filming The Wolf Of Wall Street

The Wolf Of Wall Street really didn't hold anything back, and one of Robbie's very first tasks was to appear completely nude. It would be understandably daunting for any actress, let alone a relative novice on such a huge-scale production, but she did it, with a little bit of liquid encouragement. A crew member saw how nervous she was and provided €œa little liquid confidence,€ she told the New York Times. €œAnd I was like, €˜it€™s 9 in the morning!€™ And he€™s like, €˜We€™re in New York!€™ So I was like, €˜O.K., hook a brother up!€™ And I did three shots of tequila and then took my clothes off and did the scene and I was fine. It really helped stop my hands shaking, and gave me a little boost of confidence.€ The scene went on to become one of the most iconic in a the racy film which drew in an incredible amount of media scrutiny, though Robbie says her grandparents thankfully haven't seen it.
