Margot Robbie says she demanded to be completely naked when she filmed her The Wolf of Wall Street sex scene

The Australian beauty says she wanted to make it more realistic for those watching - but her brother didn't talk to her for ages after!

The 32-year-old played Naomi Lapaglia alongside movie legend Leonardo DiCaprio in the Hollywood blockbuster nearly ten years ago.

In the movie, she plays money-hungry stockbroker Jordan Belfort's second wife and as many will remember, things got steamy.

Martin Scorses' film helped catapult her to fame and she has been speaking about the role.

It includes a full-frontal nude scene, and the A-Lister has admitted she was apprehensive about the scenes being immortalised on the internet.

However, when director Scorsese suggested diluting things for her comfort, she made the brave decision to turn him down.

She said: "I think nudity for the sake of nudity is shameful.

"If they've put it in just so that a girl gets her top off, then that's disgusting. And you can always tell.

"But I also think it's disgusting when someone would have got naked in real life, in the film they conveniently leave their bra on or hold up the bed sheet. Seeing someone being choreographed into being covered up irritates me just as much.

"The whole point of Naomi is that her body is her only form of currency in this world. So when Marty [Scorsese] was trying to help me out and said in the scene where she seduces Jordan perhaps I could have a robe on, I said she wouldn't.

"She has to be naked. She's laying her cards on the table," she said, speaking to The Telegraph in 2014.

Despite being committed to the role, Margot has revealed in the past that she did find filming the sex scene difficult and embarrassing.

She told Porter in 2018: "It doesn't come across when you're watching the movie, but in reality, we're in a tiny bedroom with 30 crew crammed in.

"All men. And for 17 hours I'm pretending to be touching myself. It's just a very weird thing and you have to bury the embarrassment and absurdity, really deep, and fully commit."
