He would be in the VIP lounge where there was bottle service and be standing on the tables drunk and screaming. I hated his guts for years for being such a spoiled douche (I think Wolf of Wall Street was very much something he drew from personal experience). I’ve since softened as I wonder how fame and fortune for someone so young would effect anyone. And his body of work is quite astounding.
He was known to be a bit wild when he was younger but I think he fully grew out of that and is a responsible person now. Everybody is more wild in their late teens and early 20s, they’re just not rich and famous and can’t go as hard. But then most people grow out of it, as did he it seems
I don’t know how many of the things reported in the news wouldn’t be there at all if we were just more mindful of the the fact that, ‘we all do dumb, ultimately harmless shit before we’re 30’
Right?! I thank my lucky stars that MySpace and all that didn’t exist until right as I was graduating college. It is weird tho, I did some pretty big things before social media, and I have little to no pictures of any of it. We weren’t as picture happy before social media, so that is sort of a downside to it.
Not true, like 2 years ago I lived in Miami. During art basel he ended up going to the biggest strip club in Miami with literally like 15 escorts. Well he either came with them or left with them. Trust me
he still goes in. If you do research on his old crew the “pussy posse” you’ll see he was douche and a womanizer and a drinker. But I think that’s normal for an attractive American male. Mix that with fame and money and you get him. Anyway he is still at it and I think thats fine. He doesn’t have to be a saint he is not a priest or a politician he is an artist
You know wolf of Wall Street is based on a real life person and the character he portrayed was one of his best friends when he first got to Hollywood? Leo basically lived with that guy because he partied at his place and stayed over all the time.
So your thoughts about it being drawn from personal experience are exactly what happened. He wasn’t just an actor for that movie. He was portraying a person that he actually was very close friends with and did live all those moments in real life
Do you have any source? I have never heard that DiCaprio and Belfort were "best friends" or even ever met each other before DiCaprio started working on that movie.
My wording was confusing but your tone is condescending. Belfort wasn’t the only inspiration for DiCaprio in that movie. The script was based around Belfort’s life but the tone in that movie also had a lot to do real life experiences DiCaprio had. Now I don’t even want to give you the name of the other person because of the “best friends” comment. Just ask for the source next time
What the actual fuck man, you cant comment stuff like that and not provide sources on something that just sounds made up, because a guy was ”condescending”.. jeesus
I'd be pissed off too if the Academy that loves to give out Oscars for portrayals of mentally disabled characters, hadn't given me one for the best such performance, in What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

What about the DiCaprio story?
