Margot Robbie Sheds Light on Filming S*x Scenes Involving 'Real Breasts and Pubic Hair'

Margot Robbie, known for her bold performances in films like The Wolf of Wall Street, has opened up about the behind-the-scenes process of filming intimate scenes that involve 'real breasts and pubic hair'. 

In her latest project Babylon, set in the 1920s and featuring explicit content, Robbie and her co-star Diego Calva discussed their experiences with radio hosts Fitzy and Wippa while promoting the movie.

Calva shared that after a few days on set, they became accustomed to the nudity surrounding them everywhere. Robbie agreed, stating that they quickly became desensitized to the atmosphere.

The hosts delved deeper into the process of filming nudity in a period drama like Babylon, where finding women with authentic features could be challenging. Robbie addressed this matter, revealing that the industry utilizes 'merkins' to overcome this obstacle.

For those unfamiliar with the term, Robbie humorously explained that a merkin is akin to a wig but specifically designed for genitalia. She likened it to a more tasteful version of the infamous scene from The Inbetweeners, where a character places an actual head-sized wig down his pants.

The actress became acquainted with the concept of merkins during her work on The Wolf of Wall Street, where she encountered an entire room full of them. Without divulging too much detail, she described the experience as fascinating and shared this intriguing tidbit about the filmmaking industry.

Robbie had previously admitted to feeling 'very, very nervous' before filming her nude scene with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. She even confessed to having a few shots of tequila to ease her nerves. While she once believed her scene would go unnoticed due to DiCaprio's prominence, she now acknowledges the film's massive success.

With her candid insights and experiences, Margot Robbie continues to shine a light on the sometimes overlooked aspects of filmmaking involving intimate scenes and the various techniques employed to ensure authenticity and storytelling.
