facts first presents 15 things that you
never knew about the wolf of wallstreet
number 1 the wolf of wallstreet has many
scenes where the characters are using
cocaine the producers wanted the drug
use to look real however there's no way
the actors would ever use real cocaine
to make the scenes look authentic the
producers had them snort crushed B
vitamins for the scenes where they
needed to be using drugs
it made the scenes look authentic number
two many people dream of having sex with
someone on a bed full of cash in the
movie wolf of Wall Street margot robbie
found out that it is not all that it's
cracked up to be
she did a sex scene with Leonardo
DiCaprio on a bed covered with fake
dollar bills
she said that filming this scene was
very uncomfortable she said that she
ended up with multiple paper cuts on her
back by the time they finished filming
the scene number three according to
Martin Scorsese the scene where Leonardo
DiCaprio's character is incredibly
impaired on lemons was improvised by
Leonardo himself on the day that the
scene was filmed he thought that the
scene would look more authentic if he
were to try to open the door with his
foot while filming the stunt
Leonardo strained his back so they were
only able to get one take of a stunt
luckily that one shot of him opening the
door was all that they needed number 4
Matthew McConaughey started filming his
scenes during the second week of filming
the scene where he is beating his chest
and humming while sitting down with
Leonardo DiCaprio was not scripted it's
actually a warm-up technique that
Matthew does all the time before he
starts filming there's a brief shot of
Leonardo looking away from Matthew he's
actually looking toward Martin Scorsese
for approval in the end they decided to
keep that part in the movie
DiCaprio stated that it set the tone for
the rest of the film and for Matthew's
character number 5 famous actor and
comedian Jonah Hill wanted to work with
Martin Scorsese so bad that he made a
huge sacrifice when agreeing to be a
part of the cast of wolf of wallstreet
he took a huge pay cut and was only paid
$60,000 which is the sag minimum
that is much less than what Jonah is
used to making for him it was worth it
to be able to work with a legendary
director number six Martin Scorsese
often encourages his actors to improvise
whenever they can as it makes things
more natural because of this most of the
film was improvised by its actors in the
end it made the entire movie much more
believable number seven in the original
script Martin Scorsese was going to
allow Margot Robbie to wear a bathrobe
for the seduction scene between her and
Leonardo DiCaprio Robbie insisted on
doing the scene fully nude she stated
that because she viewed her body as the
only currency that she had that it would
be more realistic if she was totally
naked
this movie was the first time that she
did a nude scene therefore she was very
nervous on the day of filming in order
to relax before filming the scene she
had three shots of tequila
one after another number 8 Steven
Spielberg made a routine visit to the
set and spent the entire day there this
was the day that they shot the Steve
Madden speech Martin Scorsese stated
that Steven Spielberg co-directed the
scene he made suggestions for proper
camera angles and gave the actors advice
it turned out to be one of the best
scenes in the movie number 9 the real
Jordan Belfort helped to coach Leonardo
DiCaprio on his behavior DiCaprio did
not have much experience playing a
character as hi Jordan Belfort helped
him to react properly to the quaaludes
that he abused since DiCaprio had no
idea how these drugs would affect a
person he also helped to understand how
to handle the dope induced confrontation
between DiCaprio's character with Danny
porush Leonardo DiCaprio found this
coaching very helpful when trying to
understand what it feels like to be high
on drugs
number 10 during the scene where
Leonardo DiCaprio had to kiss Joanna
Lumley DiCaprio said that he was
extremely nervous his shaky nerves made
it difficult for him to get the scene
right in the end he had to do 27 takes
before the scene was perfect number 11
Martin Scorsese stated that some of the
editing in the movie is strange but on
purpose this is especially true in the
scenes where the characters are high
each time Jordan is seen doing drugs the
scenes that follow have continuty issues
that make them flow oddly
number twelve Martin Scorsese has
directed many films that have grossed a
lot of money including Hugo public
speaking shutter island' and the
Department of all the high grossing
films that he directed the wolf of Wall
Street is reportedly the highest
grossing film of his career at 392
million dollars worldwide number
thirteen one thing that you didn't know
about Wolf of Wall Street is that it was
banned in five countries including
Malaysia and Nepal the reason for the
ban is the high sexual content and the
excessive drug use of the movie in order
for the movie to be shown in India three
scenes needed to be removed these scenes
included the movies a gay orgy Leonardo
DiCaprio blowing cocaine up a woman's
bottom with a straw and Jonah Hill
masturbating number fourteen the word
[ __ ] and many other ways that it is used
was said 569 times during the making of
the film this film has the most uses of
the word in a mainstream film that is
not a documentary number 15 when there's
a dog in a film they do not always
behave the way you want them to this was
the case in the scene where the
characters Jordan and Naomi have sex for
the first time at her home they wanted
the dog to jump up and bite Jordan while
they were trying to have sex according
to an interview with Margot Robbie who
played Naomi the dog would not cooperate
in order to get the scene just right
they had to put treats for the dog
including chicken livers and dog food
all over Leonardo DiCaprio's feet and
between his toes when they did that the
dog got the scene just right subscribe
