Robbie grabbed everyone's attention at the beginning of last year when she teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio for Wolf of Wall Street - which was to prove to be her breakthrough role.

Despite the release of The Wolf of Wall Street being over a year ago, the actress is still gushing about the opportunity to work with the Oscar winning filmmaker, calling it a very 'liberal set.'

Speaking to ShortList.com, the actress said: "I assumed he'd be very hands-on and have a lot to say, because his style is so distinctive, but it was actually quite the opposite. The most important thing was that he would give us the freedom to explore the characters - he would let the camera roll for 20 minutes sometimes and not call cut.

"It was a very liberal set, you could say and do what you wanted. It was all about creating characters people would be interested in. We had a lot of time, as well, which was magical and he just trusted everyone to do their own jobs."

The Wolf of Wall Street went to be both a critical and commercial hit and send Robbie's star rocketing - she is now one of the most in demand actresses in Hollywood. And she will be back on the big screen next week when she teams up with Will Smith for new heist film Focus.

Robbie has also enjoyed success at the Sundance Film Festival with Z For Zachariah, which sees her star alongside Chris Pine and Chiwetel Ejiofor, and she has also completed work on Tarzan.

The actress is currently filming Fun House and will be reuniting with Smith for new comic book movie Suicide Squad. Robbie is set to take on the role of Harley Quinn in the film, alongside Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, and Viola Davis. David Ayer will be back in the director's chair for the first time since Fury.
