10 Unusual Demands Made By Actors On Recent Movies

10. Leonardo DiCaprio Didn't Want The World To See Naked Meryl Streep - Don't Look Up

Acting as one of the most prolific producers of top tier work the movie-making industry has ever seen, the iconic Meryl Streep has more than earned her place amongst the greats and the respect of her many colleagues over the years.

However, it was due to the sheer reverence Leonardo DiCaprio had for the record-setting 21-time Academy Award nominee that a rather raunchy and jaw-dropping scene in Adam McKay's recent end of the world comedy hit Don't Look Up was surprisingly deemed somewhat unnecessary by the fellow icon.

As revealed by McKay himself in a conversation with The Guardian, the Oscar-winning star of the flick went out of his way to push back against the inclusion of Streep's President Orleans boasting a lower back tattoo and strutting around naked in the film's mid-credits stinger, despite the fact that it was actually a body double seen in the scene.

Despite DiCaprio's comments of “Do you really need to show that?”, though, Streep was said to have not even blinked or brought up this being any sort of issue, with the "fearless" legend being very much game when it came to playing a character who was ultimately dispatched in the buff by a Bronteroc.
