Known for embracing challenging roles, Robbie revealed on the “Talking Pictures” podcast that she proposed performing a nude scene in “The Wolf of Wall Street” to portray her character, Naomi Lapaglia, authentically. Director Martin Scorsese initially suggested she could wear a robe, but Robbie insisted on full nudity to remain true to her character’s bold nature.

“That’s not what she would do in that scene. She’s playing the card of going out completely naked,” Robbie explained, discussing the pivotal scene where her character seduces the wealthy stockbroker Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
