What would you do if you met Leonardo Dicaprio for the first time? Ask him out? Kiss him maybe? (And this goes for both girls and guys) Whatever you do, you certainly wouldn’t slap him, would you? Apparently, that is just what Australian actress Margot Robbie did. And no, it wasn’t on the script or anything. While speaking about the 26-year-old actress for the Time Magazine‘s 100 Most Influential People Issue, The Wolf of Wall Street director Martin Scorsese revealed the incident that stunned him and everyone present at the moment.
Recalling her audition for the 2013 hit movie, Scorsese revealed that Robbie ditched the script and laid “a thunderclap of a slap on the face.” He said, “She clinched her part in The Wolf of Wall Street during our first meeting.”

When else am I ever going to get a chance to kiss Leo DiCaprio, ever?’,” she added. Damn! If there’s a representative for Leo fans, it is her.

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