Your Favorite Actors’ Most Awkward Auditions, Revealed

Once-In-A-Lifetime For Margot Robbie

When Margot Robbie auditioned for The Wolf of Wall Street, things got very real, very fast. She and Leonardo DiCaprio were in a heated argument during the audition, and Margot decided if she wanted this role, she was going to have to take a risk. “You have literally 30 seconds left in this room and if you don’t do something impressive nothing will ever come of it. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance, just take it,’ Margot told Harper’s Bazaar of her thought process at the time. So she slapped Leo right in the face, and fortunately, it worked out. “She clinched her part in The Wolf of Wall Street during our first meeting by hauling off and giving Leonardo DiCaprio a thunderclap of a slap on the face,” director Martin Scorsese said. “An improvisation that stunned us all.”
