In a recent interview, actress Margot Robbie recalled an incident while filming for "The Wolf" when she accidently slapped actor Leonardo DiCaprio so hard that she thought he was going to sue her.
Getting "carried away" is usually the mark of an actor being so immersed in his or her work that he forgets it's just a film. Generally, this is a good sign but not according to actress Margot Robbie. In a recent interview with GQ magazine, the actress recalled slapping co-star Leonardo DiCaprio so hard that she thought he was going to sue her.
"I got a little lost in the moment. I slapped his face and said, 'F**k you!' There was a stunned silence then they all burst out laughing," the 23-year-old actress told GQ magazine, according toFemaleFirst.co.uk
She recalled being petrified that he was going to sue her soon after shooting but was astonished to find that the humble "Titanic" actor was in fact impressed with her performance, so much so that he asked her to "strike" him again.
''I'd thought they were going to sue me," Robbie admitted, adding: "I apologized profusely but Leo said, 'That was brilliant. Hit me in the face again!'''

Margot has always been a fan of DiCaprio and called working with him "a dream come true."
"Both he and [director Martin Scorsese] have such massive presences when you're around them - they're unstoppable, like this force that keeps moving; they have so much dimension, it sometimes seems impossible to keep up with them," she said, according to Entertainment Wise.
Reports had it that DiCaprio and Robbie were dating. However, the actress rubbished all rumors stating that it was "inevitable" for such rumors to spread.
"We're friends, of course, but those rumors were inevitable - there's no truth to them. Everyone on the set became good friends, we'd all hang out on weekends." News.com quoted the actress as telling Vogue Australia. "I just woke up to 45 missed calls on my phone and all my girlfriends saying: 'I can't believe you didn't tell me!' I'd call them back and say: 'Are you kidding me? Do you not think you would be the first people I would tell if this was happening?' I also had to call my grandparents and assure them that there was absolutely no truth to the rumors, and that took a little more convincing."
Margot has acted in the soap Neighbors and was recently seen in the ABC series Pan Am.
