The 33 year old actress starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the steamy crime film back in 2013, which quickly proved to be her breakout role. In one unforgettable scene, Margot, playing Naomi Lapaglia, bared it all to seduce Leonardo's character, Jordan Belfort.
Fans worldwide were smitten with the Aussie actress' performance, catapulting her to stardom. However, her bold nude scene almost cost her a role in Mary Queen of Scots.

The crew struggled to see past her sex symbol image, but Josie championed for Margot. At the Power of Film symposium, Josie revealed: "In their heads she was probably lodged more as a sex symbol figure than she was as Elizabeth I. But I made the argument for it."
Rourke's hard work paid off when Margot was chosen to play the queen. Thanks to Josie's relentless support for the Aussie actress, Margot bagged a Bafta nomination for her role.
Elizabeth I is one of Margot's most memorable roles, but many remember her for her brilliant performance in The Wolf of Wall Street. Naomi Lapaglia was Margot's first Hollywood role and she has previously shared her experiences on set.
Chatting with Aussie radio hosts Fitzy and Wippa, she mentioned a "genital room," where actors could "pick from". Margot revealed: "They have these things called merkins, which is like a wig for genitalia.
I remember, for The Wolf of Wall Street, there was an entire merkin room."
Robbie added: "I guess people would go in and pick one out. It was fascinating." For more juicy showbiz news from Daily Star, don't forget to sign up to one of our newsletters here.
