Robbie even used the technique before filming an emotional scene in director Martin Scorsese’s 2013 film. The Wolf of Wall Street. In the film, based on the 2007 memoir by former stockbroker and convicted felon Jordan Belfort, Robbie starred opposite Titanic leading man Leonardo DiCaprio as a character based on Belfort’s ex-wife.

“There was a big, crazy scene after I filed for divorce and all that. And Kate Winslet came to visit the set, to visit Leo that day,” Robbie recalls. “I was in the room next to them, listening to them Titanic the soundtrack tries to stay in sad, weepy mode.
