Margot Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio played Naomi and Jordan Belfort in "The Wolf of Wall Street."
The two meet at a pool party in the Oscar-nominated movie about the stockbroker whose firm was involved with fraud on Wall Street.
In real life, Jordan Belfort met Nadine at a pool party before she became his second wife.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" did get a lot of the facts right surrounding Belfort's second marriage to Nadine Caridi, the "Naomi" character in the film.
The real Nadine was a model who starred in beer commercials, had an English aunt who smuggled money into Switzerland for Belfort, and was introduced to Belfort at a pool party.
The couple have two children together. They were divorced in 2005.
