Jonah Hill revealed that he was hospitalized after using vitamin D powder to simulate drugs during the filming of “The Wolf of Wall Street”.

Although it is harmless in itself, the prolonged use of the powder to simulate drugs led to Hill developing bronchitis, which required medical treatment.

The actor, who played Donnie Azoff in the film, revealed that the intense use of the fake powder was crucial for depicting his character’s drug abuse.
