Leonardo DiCaprio is an incredibly talented and versatile actor, renowned for his impressive body of work in the industry. One of his notable films is The Wolf Of Wall Street, where he starred alongside the equally talented Margot Robbie. At that time, Margot was relatively new to the industry, and this Martin Scorsese film propelled her into the limelight. However, working with experienced actors like Leo comes with its advantages, as well as a bit of scolding for not being adequately prepared for showbiz.
Margot was quite young when she appeared in this iconic film and had not seen many classic Hollywood movies. Little did she know that her limited knowledge of cinema would result in a scolding from Leonardo DiCaprio. In an interview, Robbie shared how this particular aspect of hers allegedly frustrated Leo. Continue scrolling to find out the details.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie reunited once again for Quentin Tarantino’s film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, where they worked alongside Brad Pitt. During the promotion of the movie, Margot revealed that Leo would often get frustrated with her lack of knowledge about classic films, as she hadn’t seen many of them. Speaking with MTV News, Margot mentioned, “When we did Wolf of Wall Street, you would get angry at me all the time. Any time I’d mention any movie I hadn’t seen, you’d be like, ‘How have you not seen Citizen Kane? How can you work in this industry and not have seen Citizen Kane?’ and I’m like, ‘I just got here to this industry. You’ve had more time to watch this stuff.’ Then I went home, and I would go watch Citizen Kane and all the movies that he recommended.”
Furthermore, Margot revealed in the same interview, where Leonardo DiCaprio was also present, that she had never watched any Star Wars film. She jokingly stated that she refrained from watching them just to provoke people’s reactions, saying, “I’ve never seen any Star Wars, and I kind of don’t watch it now just because it infuriates people so much, like, ‘How have you never watched any Star Wars?’ and I just kind of wanna see how long I can make it now.”
We hope Margot Robbie has taken Leonardo DiCaprio’s advice and recommendations to heart and has watched classic Hollywood films over the years. She is undeniably one of the most accomplished and talented lead actors of our time, evident from the tremendous success of her film Barbie, which grossed over $1 billion at the box office.
On the professional front, Leonardo DiCaprio’s most recent film was Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, which premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and received an overwhelmingly positive response from the audience.
