Quentin Tarantino gave feet directions for film

She got down and dirty for the role — per the director’s orders.

Margot Robbie, who stars as the titular bombshell in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming “Barbie” flick, reminisced her style over the years in Vogue’s “Life in Looks” Wednesday installment.

She recalled a distinct moment in “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood” — which reportedly features 36 shots of feet — where director Quentin Tarantino, rumored to have a foot fetish, instructed her to not wash her soles prior to shooting a scene.

In the 2019 film about Hollywood in 1969, Robbie plays Sharon Tate, a notoriously shoe-adverse actress and model who was a victim of the infamous Manson Family murders.

Robbie recalled a scene where her character struts into a movie theater to view herself in a feature film, kicking off her chic go-go boots and propping her legs up on the seats in front of her.

“My feet were dirty because I’d been walking around set all day,” she said. “They stayed dirty in the movie because Quentin [Tarantino] said, ‘Don’t. Don’t clean them.’”

Instead, she added, Tarantino wanted them to look “real.”

Tarantino, known for his films “Pulp Fiction,” “Kill Bill” and “Django Unchained,” is rumored to have an infatuation with feet.

Viewers often get up close and personal with actors’ toes in Tarantino’s films, prompting accusations — and jokes — of the esteemed director’s so-called fetish.

“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” actor Brad Pitt even swiped at the director in n SAG award acceptance speech after snagging the title of Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role for the film.

“Quentin has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA,” he joked after rattling off a list of thanks to co-stars, naming “Margot Robbie’s feet, Margaret Qualley’s feet [and] Dakota Fanning’s feet.”

But when confronted about his “thing” for feet in a 2021 profile with GQ, Tarantino sighed in “disappointment.”

“I don’t take it seriously,” he said. “There’s a lot of feet in a lot of good directors’ movies. That’s just good direction.”

“Like, before me, the person foot fetishism was defined by was Luis Buñuel, another film director. And Hitchcock was accused of it and Sofia Coppola has been accused of it,” he added.

But this isn’t the first time Robbie’s feet have caught the attention of the masses.

In the highly-anticipated “Barbie,” her perfectly plastic arch prompted Tarantino feet jokes from viewers online.

On Wednesday, Vogue released images of the cover star dressed in true Mattel fashion ahead of the summer flick.

The “Wolf of Wall Street” star – yet another movie where Robbie’s feet are the stars of a scene — addressed the sexualization of the Mattel doll in the Vogue interview, saying, “She is sexualized. But she should never be sexy.”

“Barbie,” slated to hit theaters July 21, features a star-studded cast including Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, Dua Lipa, John Cena and more.
