15 Movie Characters Who Look Nothing Like They Did In Real Life
13. Jordan Belfort - The Wolf Of Wall Street
Another film starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a morally questionable real life person that got people in a tizzy over whether it was glamorising the lifestyle or not. Of course, if you sit through the hilarious latest from Martin Scorsese it should be obvious that, with the protagonist reduced to a drug-addled mess who beats up his wife, that The Wolf Of Wall Street is being rather condemning of fraudulent stockbroker Jordan Belfort's actions.
According to the man himself the film was pretty accurate to his antics, with some of the drug taking actually toned down lest the whole thing looked too ridiculous.
One place where the film isn't totally accurate is in how its characters look. Don't get us wrong, the casting was spot on, but in terms of basic looks none of the main cast (aside from Margot Robbie as Nadine Belfort) look much like their real life counterparts. Although if anything that's testament to the quality of the acting on show; they more than made up for not being a visual fit.
