3. Having always loved watching ice hockey, she grabbed the opportunity to partake in the sport as soon as she moved to the States.

5. She downed three shots of tequila before filming her nude scene in The Wolf of Wall Street.

6. Hugh Hefner wanted to put “that one from Wolf of Wall Street” on the cover of Playboy, but Robbie turned down the offer.
