9 Things You Didn't Know About The Wolf Of Wall Street
3. Jordon Belfort Coached DiCaprio On How To Behave When Under The Influence Of Quaaludes
It seems that acting like you're utterly, utterly off your head is a lot harder than one might think. Aside from the fact that DiCaprio reportedly had to visit a chiropractor during filming of the sequence due to the jerky movements he had to make, he also decided to call in help from the real Jordon Belfort for tips. There's really nobody better to ask for advice on how to act high on a drug than the person you're playing on-screen, so it's hardly surprising that the real Belfort was involved so heavily with DiCaprio's performance. According to both Hill and DiCaprio, the entire scene took around 70 takes in total due to one part of the sequence requiring DiCaprio to have a slice of ham stuck to his face. To get the meat to stick, the crew eventually decided to use KY jelly - an American brand of lubricant - to keep it in place.
