Desperate to do something that would make an impression, Robbie marched up to her screen partner DiCaprio in the middle of the argument their characters were having. According to the actress, she was aware that she only had a few seconds left in the audition scene. In an interview with People, Robbie recollects the incident from her own memory. As Scorsese himself explained to Time, as reported by Harper's Bazaar, Robbie clinched the role of Naomi Lapaglia when she gave 'Leonardo DiCaprio a thunderclap of a slap on the face,' with the filmmaker adding that ' an improvisation that stunned us all.' Margot Robbie chose to channel that nervous energy in a shocking and memorable manner. Learning that you are auditioning for a movie role in a Leonardo DiCaprio-Martin Scorsese feature will naturally put a certain amount of pressure on the audition process. After leading a short-lived American TV series Pan Am, and a feature film debut in the 2013 rom-com About Time, the actress' career was ready to be launched into the stratosphere once Scorsese came knocking. So she requested that her character on the show be retired, and Robbie soon set sail for Hollywood. But the actress felt a yearning to try for something even bigger. The role gave Robbie a lot of traction in Australian media and crucial media training. All of this led to Robbie's biggest breakthrough yet when she was cast as a series regular on the immensely popular soap opera Neighbours. This led to a few years on television where the actress appeared in a Disney show opposite Liam Hemsworth. While the movies did not get a lot of traction outside the country, Robbie got noticed in the local film industry. Related: These Are the Best Margot Robbie Movies So Far, Ranked
