9 Things You Didn't Know About The Wolf Of Wall Street

6. The Kissing Scene Between Joanna Lumley and Leonardo DiCaprio Took A Reported 27 Takes To Shoot

You wouldn't think that an actor like DiCaprio would get the jitters when asked to perform a romantic scene in a film - especially in The Wolf Of Wall Street, where he strips down to nothing in numerous scenes involving him and on-screen wife, Margot Robbie. Obviously, there's something about Joanna Lumley that gave DiCaprio butterflies in the stomach, as his mildly intimate scene with her took a reported 27 takes to get right. The staggering figure of takes for something as simple as a quick smooch is one that Lumley herself stated was slightly awkward for her too. The age gap and fame of the two actors probably didn't help to make the scene any less awkward either, Lumley is old enough to be DiCaprio's mum by quite a large margin.
