5. Leonardo DiCaprio Really Struggled With The N-Word
Though everybody knows the fact about Leonardo DiCaprio smashing a glass with his fist and bleeding everywhere while filming a scene as Calvin Candie in Django Unchained (DiCaprio's blood is totally visible in the final product, too), what you mightn't know is that DiCaprio was incredibly uncomfortable while filming for a different reason. During filming, DiCaprio actually had to halt the shoot because he became so uncomfortable with the excessive use of the N-Word (an issue that caused a huge amount of controversy when the film first released, with many claiming it was totally gratuitous). Apparently Samuel L. Jackson (who plays slave Stephen in the film) took DiCaprio aside and attempted to stub out this concern by simply saying Motherfucker, this is just another Tuesday for us.
