For her latest cinematic endeavor, Babylon, the 32-year-old I, Tonya star attests to feeling at ease during the filming of a 'licentious soiree' scene, drawing from her prior experience of performing n*de sequences alongside her co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio, in her breakthrough role back in 2013.
Margot Robbie (depicted) sheds light on an astounding behind-the-scenes secret of The Wolf of Wall Street, revealing the presence of a comprehensive 'merkin.'
"Rapid desensitization is inevitable. It felt like an eternity and yet, somehow, a distant, nebulous memory," she conveyed to Nova's Fitzy and Wippa.
Fitzy inquired about the challenge of finding actresses with suitable physiques during filming, to which Margot explained that the costume department always had a contingency plan.
"They had these things called merkins, akin to wigs for genitalia. I distinctly recall an entire room dedicated to merkins during the filming of The Wolf of Wall Street," she divulged.
"Essentially, people would venture in and select one that suited them. It was absolutely fascinating."
In a previous appearance on The Project, Margot divulged the surprising origin of her affectionate school nickname, 'Maggot.'
During Tuesday night's promotion of Babylon, the two-time Oscar nominee elucidated that the moniker emerged from an embarrassing incident during her primary school days.
"As the story goes, a substitute teacher fumbled on the roll call and inadvertently uttered 'maggot,' which elicited laughter from everyone," she continued. "Nicknames are something bestowed upon you; you don't get to choose them," added The Wolf of Wall Street star.
Robbie went on to express her hope that the blunder would have faded into oblivion by lunchtime, yet amusingly, "here we are," still discussing it well over two decades later.
