The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese’s 2013 masterpiece, was a raucous and wild ride through the excesses of the financial world. The film starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort, a real-life Wall Street mogul whose insatiable appetite for money and drugs led him down a dangerous path. Along for the ride was Margot Robbie, who played Naomi Lapaglia, Belfort’s second wife.

Margot Robbie’s Painful Encounter with Fake Cash

In an interview years ago with The Daily Beast, Robbie revealed that the pile of money she and DiCaprio had rolled around on was actually fake currency. While it had looked impressive on screen, the fake money had proven to be a nightmare for Robbie.

“I got a million paper cuts on my back from all that money! It wasn’t as glamorous as it sounded.”

Robbie had gone on to explain that the fake money had been like paper and had been incredibly sharp. When she got up from the bed, the cast and crew had been shocked by the sight of her back.

“I turned around to get my robe and everyone had gasped,” she said. “They had said, ‘You look like you’ve been whipped a million times. Your back is covered in a thousand red scratches.’”

Robbie was just 23 years old at the time of filming and had never experienced anything like this before. The pain was so intense that she had to take a break from shooting.

“I had to have someone help me put a T-shirt on because I couldn’t lift my arms up,” she added, “I was in so much pain.”

Despite the severity of the injury, director Martin Scorsese managed to keep it out of the final shot. However, Robbie was left with a lasting reminder of the scene.
