Smart: Margot Robbie Ripped Shots Of Tequila To Prepare For A Nude Scene With Leo In 'Wolf Of Wall Street'
[Source] - During a special guest appearance at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts event, the Australian actress confessed she needed a bit of liquid courage before filming a raunchy nude scene with the Oscar winner.
“I’m not going to lie, I had a couple of shots of tequila before that scene because I was nervous…very, very nervous,” Robbie said.
“Honestly, I know it sounds silly now, knowing how big the movie became, at the time I thought, ‘No one is going to notice me in this film,'” Robbie noted, according to the Daily Mirror.
Why add more to that headline? I'm pretty sure I could add zero to this blog and it will dominate. Why? Because Margot Robbie always plays. But I decided to go with this route. This is a pro move from Robbie. I know we're talking about a movie that's 10 years old but she just said the quote. Don't blame me for that. The point is every great has some sort of superstition or something to calm the nerves.
Wade Boggs has his beer stories. Marshawn used to rip Hennessy before games. Robbie has tequila shots.
The biggest shock? It was for the opening scene where she's just in stockings and heels. I found a link. It's NSFW. That is your warning. Go to the 2:03 mark.
I would have guessed a ton of money it was on this infamous scene:
To be fair to Robbie, having to do any sort of scene with Leo when you're first breaking through as an actress would be terrifying. I'd rip shots of tequila if I had to do an interview with him of some sort. There are few people that have that presence and I (assume) Leo has it. Especially with other actors/actresses. You don't want to fuck up. On the flip side, Robbie should have known that Leo has seen a million ridiculously attractive people naked. He won't care.
Love the move though. Going to rip a couple shots to calm the nerves. Everyone has done it once before in their life. Everyone has for sure done it before getting naked for the first time at some point. I don't care who you are, the moment you gotta get naked in front of someone for the first time can't be a sober thing.
