Margot Robbie is just 23 and has risen to fame after she played the sensational role of Leonardo Di Caprio's trophy wife in the latest movie "The Wolf of Wall Street."

But there is more to this blonde beauty than just sex scenes. Let's find out more about the "Duchess" Naomi (her on screen name).
1. Shoes Made Her Cry: Since "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a period film Margot was required to wear vintage dresses and shoes from various designers like Prada, Versace, Armani etc to play the role of trophy wife for a multi-millionaire. For a particular scene she had to wear a pair of Prada snakeskin boots which "were at least two sizes too small but I was so determined to wear them that we stretched them for two months," Margot told Grazia Daily. "We oiled up my feet and put baby powder in the shoe and spent 20 minutes squeezing my feet into them, but they didn't make it into the scene. I wanted to cry," says Robbie.
2. She Hates Artificial Nails: However fashionable she might sound, Robbie is simple in her life and hated the acrylic nails she had to wear for the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street." "The most mundane tasks were suddenly monumental tasks - unbuttoning buttons, texting, tying shoe laces... I couldn't believe how much it affected my life, it was so difficult," the actress told Grazia.
3. She Got Drunk In Sex Scenes: "It was stressing me out for months leading up to it," Robbie told smh.com.au. One of the crew members fetched her tequila to calm her nerves.

7. Robbie is set to star in the upcoming comedy "Focus," opposite Will Smith, according to Variety magazine.
8. Careful Planner: Robbie is very calculative and planned to become an actor with great preparation. "Two years of doing acting courses, dialect coaching so that I could have my American accent perfect. I didn't spend any money so if I didn't get a job, I wouldn't have to move back. Getting a team in place so I could get straight in the room with the best casting agents and not waste any time," Robbie told smh.
9. Though Robbie has been linked with Will Smith, Leonardo Di Caprio and other people, she presently lives in a house with her "Neighbors" co-star Ashleigh Brewer.
