In the 2013 film, Robbie plays Naomi Lapaglia, the wife of former stockbroker Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. In the controversial scene, Naomi would be completely nude as a way to provoke Belfort after she discovered his infidelity.
Martin Scorsese, the film’s director, said she could wear a robe for the scene if that would make her feel more comfortable. However, Robbie declined the offer and explained her decision in the Talking Pictures podcast.
“But I said, ‘That’s not what she would do in that scene. The whole point is that she’s going to go out completely [nude] — that’s the card she’s playing,’” explained the 34-year-old actress.
Previously, Robbie said that she was initially hesitant about the scenes where she appears nude, but when the time came for the scene where Naomi tries to provoke Jordan, she decided to go ahead with it because she felt it was what the character would have done.
