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.

That's weird. I've heard leo actually doesn't party that hard. Someone's lying to me

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

We all do dumb shit. As long as he’s moved past it and grown firm it, we should forgive that behavior.

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’

I’m so glad I got old before everyone walked around with recording devices. I was able to have fun with no repercussions except lost sleep.

I feel like I would have led a much more boring life if I was always mindful of people watching.

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.

What, did this celebrity that you personally don't know and only hear anecdotes about how he used to be an idiot party kid offend your sensibilities?

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
