"I didn't know anything about Quaaludes, and he had taken a tremendous amount of them. …

Leonardo DiCaprio saw people "intoxicated by their own self-importance" growing up in Los Angeles. The actor doesn't think he'll ever get carried away with money like his character Jordan Belfort in Wolf of Wall Street or drugs or booze because he has seen people make bad choices and he doesn't want to do the same. "I grew up in Los Angeles, I was born in Hollywood, so I've seen firsthand the destructive nature of that town …

Jonah Hill has confirmed Leonardo DiCaprio was throwing up on the set of The Wolf of Wall Street. The actor decided to take revenge on his co-star for "basically beat[ing] the c**p" out of him for six months while filming Martin Scorsese's new black comedy, and tricked Leonardo into eating so much sushi that the A-list actor was "throwing up into a waste bin." Jonah used his improvisation skills to insist, "No, you have it," …
