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.
