Australian actress Margot Robbie feared that she might be arrested during the joint filming of the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" with Leonardo DiCaprio.

According to the script, the actors were supposed to perform a romantic scene, but instead of the anticipated kiss, the 22-year-old newcomer suddenly slapped the world-famous Leonardo, reports NYpost.

A moment of tense silence was followed by enthusiastic approval from director Martin Scorsese and DiCaprio himself, who praised the bold improvisation.

Despite the positive reaction, after the auditions ended, Robbie felt extremely anxious. The young actress seriously feared possible legal consequences of her impulsive act and worried that this incident could negatively affect her future career in the film industry.

Zoomboola.com reminds us that eleven years have passed since the film's release. Margot's career did not stall. On the contrary, she became one of the most famous and highest-paid actresses in the world.

Notably, she was even recognized as one of the most influential people by the prestigious Time magazine.

She became popular largely thanks to the joint film with DiCaprio. The pair was even suspected of having a romantic relationship, but the actors did not confirm this information.

After the release of "The Wolf" on the big screen, nominations for the Oscar followed for her standout roles in "I, Tonya" (2017) and "Bombshell" (2020), securing her status as a Hollywood star.

And in 2024, she delighted fans with pleasant news. Margot gave birth to her first child in October with director Tom Ackerley, whom she met on the set of "Suite Française."

This event was unexpected for fans, as Robbie had previously admitted that she wasn't ready for motherhood and was content with the company of her pets.
