The Unforgettable Audition Incident That Shook the Film Industry
Impromptu Decision and Its Consequences
During the audition, Robbie was supposed to read a kissing scene with DiCaprio. However, she had a different idea in mind. "I could totally kiss Leonardo DiCaprio. That would be awesome," she thought. But instead of following the script, she made a bold move and slapped him in the face. "And then I was like… nah. And just walloped him in the face," she said. This unexpected action led to a moment of dead silence that felt like an eternity but was actually only three seconds.Afterward, Robbie was filled with worry. "You're going to get arrested. I'm pretty sure that's assault, battery. Not only will you never work again, but actually you will go to jail for this, you idiot. And also, why did you have to do it so hard? You could have done it lighter," she thought. But to her surprise, DiCaprio and Marty burst out laughing and said, "That was great."
Fame and Its Impact on Robbie
Robbie's role in "Wolf of Wall Street" thrust her into the spotlight. She wasn't prepared for the newfound level of fame that came with the role. "Something was happening in those early stages, and it was all pretty awful, and I remember saying to my mom, 'I don't think I want to do this,'" she told Vanity Fair in 2022. But her mother's response, "Darling, I think it's too late not to," made her realize that the only way was forward.Nowadays, Robbie is much more comfortable navigating her stardom. "I know how to go through airports, and now I know who's trying to f— me over in what ways," she explained. After "The Wolf of Wall Street," she landed roles in huge films like "I, Tonya," "Suicide Squad," and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Most recently, she starred in the box office hit "Barbie" alongside Ryan Gosling, which grossed .44 billion.
