Want to Know What It’s Like to be in an Orgy With Leonardo DiCaprio?

Maria Di Angelis was just one of the women who were cast to appear in the orgy scene in The Wolf of Wall Street and if you think that I’m going to go watch this just because I now know there’s an orgy scene in it, you’d be totally right. You know me too well.

Maria, a New York model/actress who’s also appeared in The Good Wife and Law and Order: SVU and was cast as Julia Roberts’ body double in Duplicity, describes the process for auditioning for an orgy and, ultimately, what it was like to shoot it. With one of the principals, P.J. Bryne, no less.

It all started when she was invited by a casting director to audition for the Martin Scorsese film. She was told it’d involve some nudity but that Martin had asked for her personally, “at least eight or nine times.” Aww, Martin sure knows how to flatter a girl.

My first reaction was: “I can’t do it! I’m not taking my clothes off! I’ve never even cursed on camera!” But then I thought about it: “This is Martin Scorsese. How can you say no?”

She first had to email pictures of her body to prove she was still in shape. They wanted to check out her ass and legs because those things are very important to Martin’s spank bank, I mean, film direction. Maria says, “So I just grabbed my iPad and, partially dressed, struck an arrogant pose and clicked ‘Send.'”

Maria had heard Scorsese likes them all natural. Much like Zoe Saldana, he’s not about that fake stuff. Also, any surgery would be clearly evident on HD. At least that’s the excuse she was given as if they don’t have something called makeup.

A few days later, she got the greenlight to audition and, naturally, most of the male leads from the film were there for the screening process. Probably not behind a one way mirror with their pants around their ankles like how I would do my screening process.

When I entered the room, it was like that scene from “Flashdance” where the girl has to impress a panel of guys.

I looked up, and Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Rob Reiner and Matthew McConaughey were all sitting there in a line, with Martin Scorsese right in the middle.

They asked a few questions which included how she felt being nude on camera which was met with some hesitation but she got the job. The next day, she went to work. Surrounded by the other young and beautiful women hired to play prostitutes, doubt began to creep in. “I’m so pale, should I get a spray tan?,” she asked the wardrobe stylist. “Don’t change anything because you really stand out,” was the reply she got. Sort of like being muslim on an international flight. Anyway, you’ll be glad to know there’ll be tons of merkins in this movie.

Meanwhile, some of the younger women who were completely naked had fake hair glued to their nether regions. It’s a period piece — the early 1990s — and all of their real hair had been lasered off so they needed wigs down there to look authentic.

Soon, it was time for the money shot. The real deal. The orgy everyone had been waiting for. The only problem? Unlike in choreography, there was no music so they had to simulate an orgy in silence. Oh yea, just how I like it.

On set, it felt a bit awkward because, unlike in the choreography, there was no music playing in the background because it interferes with the sound recording. There was no “Le Freak” this time. So we had to improvise a lot and simulate an orgy almost in silence!

One thing that did stand out in Maria’s mind was how one girl paired with Leonardo DiCaprio got really into it as if she was trying to ride a marriage proposal out of him.

One thing that stands out in my memory is a girl who was faking sex with Leonardo DiCaprio. Earlier he’d broken the ice by saying to everyone: “Do you realize we are gonna be here, effing for 15 hours?” I don’t think he meant literally!

This girl was completely naked, sitting astride him, while he was wearing a suit. She was very — how can I say? — enthusiastic. It wasn’t acting. They had to keep telling her: “You can’t just, like, hump him.” She was all over him. So they said: “You’re here because you’re foreground. We’re just going to move you back a little!”

Of course there was the usual female jealousy.

There was also a fair amount of jealousy from the other girls who weren’t matched with the principals. “Why am I not there?” I heard one of them say about me. “I’m prettier than her.” Most of the guys were being very respectful, but I can’t say the same about some of the background artists.

Some of them were so arrogant. There was this one woman whom one of the non-principal actors had to simulate going down on. There was a lot of waiting around, and she just kept saying: “Please stop staring at my vagina because my fiance is going to get upset.”

Earlier I’d heard her say she wasn’t going to do nudity. But there she was, completely naked. He wasn’t looking at her vagina at all. It was her imagination.

Maria also knows a thing or two about banging douchebags. That or she likes her foreplay rough.

I told him, “Take me by the throat,” because men like his character are pigs. They’ll do whatever they want to you. I’ve known a few of them and dated a few. I said: “You need to take me strong. You’re not going to hurt me. Just take me.” So he grabbed me by the throat. “You’re not going to hurt her,” assured the choreographer. “She’s a classically trained dancer.”

And of course, the guys in the scene are undoubtedly going to talk about the raging erections they had during filming.

We were in a van on the way home to Manhattan, being bused from this crazy shoot, and I was quietly sitting behind two men who were also in the orgy.

“When the brunette said to that actor, ‘C’mon, make me!,’ I couldn’t help but get an erection,” one of them said. “It was so hot. It was the way she looked at him.”

They didn’t realize it was me. But when they saw me getting off the bus, they recognized me. “Oh, sorry,” they said. “Was that you?”

I shrugged and disappeared into the night.
