Margot Robbie says she drank tequila before the nude scene on The Wolf of Wall Street

Margot Robbie revealed a boozy behind-the-scenes moment with her The Wolf of Wall Street co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.

During a special guest appearance at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts event, the Aussie actress admitted she needed a bit of liquid guts before filming a raunchy nude scene with the Oscar winner.

“I won’t lie, I drank some tequila before this scene because I was nervous… very, very nervous,” Robbie said.

The now 32-year-old actress went on to explain how she prepared for the famous X-rated scene when she played the character Naomi Lapaglia more than a decade ago when she was just 22 years old.

“Honestly, I know it sounds silly now that I knew how big the movie was getting when I thought, ‘Nobody’s gonna notice me in this movie,'” Robbie remarked, according to the Daily Mirror.

“It doesn’t matter what I do in this film because everyone will focus on Leo [DiCaprio] and everything,” she added.

Although the 2013 film was Robbie’s breakthrough role amid her rise to fame, she wondered if she wanted to continue acting after working on the film.

The ‘Suicide Squad’ star was recently open about her acting career, saying after working on ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ she was debating quitting Hollywood.

“Something happened in those early stages, and it was all pretty awful,” Robbie recalled to Vanity Fair.

“And I remember saying to my mom, ‘I don’t think I want to do that,’ and she just looked at me with a totally straight face and said, ‘Honey, I think it’s too late, it not to do.’ That’s when I realized the only way forward was going forward,” Robbie continued.

Actors Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey also starred in Martin Scorsese’s film The Wolf of Wall Street.
