Margot Robbie might be heating up the movie screen in her new flick, Focus, alongside Will Smith, but the star is opening up today about one of her previous co-stars, Leonardo DiCaprio. The two joined forces for 2013's Wolf of Wall Street and after what the 24-year-old starlet admitted to doing to Leo during the audition process, we are surprised she even got the role in the first place.

According to E! News, during the try out for the award-winning movie, she actually assaulted DiCaprio. Yup, the blond bombshell hauled off and slapped the former teenage heartthrob right across the face before she even got the role.

Robbie opened up in an interview with Harper's Bazaar U.K. where she explained she was debating whether to kiss the actor or to smack him during the scene.

"So I walk up really close to his face and then I'm like, 'Maybe I should kiss him. When else am I ever going to get a chance to kiss Leo DiCaprio, ever?' But another part of my brain clicks and I just go, 'Whack!' I hit him in the face," Margot shocking admitted. "Then I scream, 'F**k you!' and that's not in the script at all. The room just went dead silent and froze."

While the Australian actress thought that her antics would definitely not get her the role, it seems that this is ultimately what landed her on-screen alongside DiCaprio.

"I'm thinking. 'You just hit Leonardo DiCaprio in the face. They're going to arrest you because that's assault,'" the actress explained. "You're definitely never going to work again, that's for sure. They'll probably sue you as well in case there's a bruise on his face and he needs to film something else."

If this happened in just her audition for that film, we can't wait to hear about what happened on set of her latest film, Focus.
