‘The Wolf of Wall Street‘ actor also added, “I remember running up to the camera, looking into it, and slapping it. They had to sit me down multiple times.” “And when the host said, ‘Hey, kids, it’s story time,’ I am screaming, at the top of my voice, ‘Yeaaah!’ And then they fired me. I’m afraid I deserved it. They had to kick me out.”
Leonardo DiCaprio has come a long way since then and is undoubtedly one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood and one of the A-list stars working with the top directors. On the professional front currently, the actor will appear in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, which received huge appreciation at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
