Jordan Belfort's ex-wife confirmed that an X-rated scene in The Wolf of Wall Street happened in real life.
The Wolf of Wall Street hit cinemas back in 2013 and saw Leonardo DiCaprio portray Belfort, while Margot Robbie played his second wife, Naomi Lapaglia.
Robbie made a hugely bold move in her audition to bag the highly-sought after role alongside the Oscar-winning actor, and ultimately the movie went on to become her breakout role.

Martin Scorsese directed the film and previously recalled the moment Robbie went off script and slapped DiCaprio across the face.
The risky decision worked in her favor and Scorsese was 'stunned', while Titanic favorite DiCaprio found it funny (fortunately).
In the years that have followed The Wolf of Wall Street's release, Nadine Macaluso - Belfort's ex-wife that Robbie's character was based on - has debunked what was fact and faction in the film.
In one video shared on TikTok, Macaluso recalled meeting Belfort for the first time, which is depicted in the movie.
In The Wolf of Wall Street, their first meeting comes as Belfort and his pals are popping pills like there’s no tomorrow.
Macaluso went on to explain that this X-rated scene of their first meeting is a pretty accurate depiction of real life, saying: "So you guys have been asking how did I meet Jordan, the Wolf of Wall Street.
"Well, it's actually pretty similar to the movie. I was, I guess, 22 years old and modelling and my boyfriend at the time, said, 'You want to go to this party in Westhampton in this house on the beach?', and I was like, 'Sure.'
"And so we pulled up, and I remember walking into the house, and there were all these people acting really weird. Little did I know that they were all Quaaluded out, I had no idea."
What happened in the following moments was also reflected in the movie, though Macaluso indicated that her reaction was much stronger in real life.
In the film, we see DiCaprio's Belfort going to chat up Lapaglia before Jonah Hill's character starts pleasuring himself in sight of everyone at the party.
Macaluso recalled: "They're with their wives and they were like, just making lewd and weird comments.
"And that scene where someone actually exposes himself to me was true. And I actually got terrified by that.
"I'm 22. And I said to my boyfriend at the time, 'We have to leave this party,' and we left right away."
I don't blame her, to be honest...
