Be warned, MCU lovers, you might want to look away, as this article makes mention of famed cinematic auteur Martin Scorsese. No, I’m only joking — well, about looking away, not about Scorsese being mentioned.
In the modern-day, Scorsese is currently enjoying a wave of success and rave reviews as his latest project, Killers of the Flower Moon, is making its rounds throughout the cinematic realm, and making a major splash. But long before Scorsese’s fresh-faced Western drama captivated the entertainment realm, the 80-year-old director left the world with its collective jaw dropped down to the floor with the 2013 release of The Wolf of Wall Street.
Centering around stockbroker-turned-criminal Jordan Belfort’s personal and professional life, Scorsese famously enlisted a star-studded lineup crawling with celebrities that folks become utterly fascinated with — one of whom would be Margot Robbie. Starring in the comedy-drama as Naomi Lapaglia — the second wife of Belfort — Robbie undoubtedly received her breakout role in the entertainment industry.
How old was Robbie in the movie?
At the time of filming for Scorsese’s crime extravaganza, the now-accomplished Australian actress was just 22-years-old. Because of her young age and appearance, it was clear Robbie was perfect for the role as Belfort’s young mistress-turned-wife.
As previously mentioned, the film undoubtedly served as the breakout role in Robbie’s eventual successful career, with the 33-year-old actress having just starred in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie alongside Ryan Gosling earlier this year. Before her breakout in Scorsese’s 2013 film, Robbie made her debut in 2008’s Vigilante and starred in 2009’s I.C.U. and 2013 romcom About Time.
