Margot Robbie is super attractive, and then she became super famous after she starred alongside Wolf of Wall Street playing Leonardo DiCaprio's wife in the film. But the blonde bombshell didn't get the job because of her looks. She got it by slapping Leo.

We remember this scene all too well:

In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, she explained how she took a huge risk during her audition for the role.

She was in the room with DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese. She explained:

I’m failing miserably. And Leo’s phenomenal. He’s powerful. He can do his part and he can do your part at the same time with his eyes closed. I’m barely getting a word in. When I do it’s not anything interesting – I just look pathetic. In my head I was like, “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.”

She took a big risk:

And so I start screaming at him and he’s yelling back at me. And he’s really scary. I can barely keep up. And he ends it saying, “You should be happy to have a husband like me. Now get over here and kiss me.” So I walk up really close to his face and then I’m like, Maybe I should kiss him. When else am I ever going to get a chance to kiss Leo DiCaprio, ever?

But another part of my brain clicks and I just go, Whack! I hit him in the face. And then I scream, “Fuck you!” And that’s not in the script at all. The room just went dead silent and I froze.

It paid off.

She continues:

I’m thinking, You just hit Leonardo DiCaprio in the face. They’re going to arrest you because that’s assault. You’re definitely never going to work again, that’s for sure. They’ll probably sue you as well in case there’s a bruise on his face and he needs to film something else.

And then all of a sudden Marty and Leo just burst out laughing. Marty says, “That was great!” Leo’s like, “Hit me again!”

Who knew Leo loved being slapped?
