Seems like Alexander Skarsgard and Margot Robbie's 'Legend of Tarzan' sex scene really got "jungley."

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Director David Yates revealed how the 'Wolf of Wall Street' actress, who plays Jane opposite to the 39-year-old-actor's Tarzan, got a bit carried away during the filming of a sex scene.

Yates recalled: "They're doing this love scene together, and I said [to Robbie], 'Just slap Alex while you're making love, just kind of give him a punch.' It was sort of an earthy, sensual moment of her enjoying sex with Alex, and the only bruise he picked up during the entire shoot was probably that punch from Margot. Which says a lot about her feistiness."

The film, which boasts an impressive ensemble including Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson and John Hurt, is expected to make less than 40 million dollars.

Yates' 'Harry Potter' prequel spin-off 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is all set to come out this November.
