In DiCaprio’s new film, “One Battle After Another,” his character gets shocked by a taser, which made Jason recall the scene where he was under the influence of quaaludes in Martin Scorsese’s movie.

“Is it harder to act like you’ve been tasered or like you’re high on quaaludes?” asked the host.

“I have to say about that quaaludes sequence, I didn’t know while we were filming, but we were there for three or four days,” answered Leonardo DiCaprio.

“I thought it would be a few takes and [Martin Scorsese] had 50 takes of me crawling, going up and down the stairs, falling, getting into the car,” the actor added.

The taser scene, on the other hand, only took 20 minutes to film, according to the “Titanic” star.

“The Wolf of Wall Street” tells the story of Jordan Belfort, a former U.S. stockbroker, played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the three-hour 2013 feature film.

Belfort himself revealed in an interview with the New York Post in 2018 that he had to teach DiCaprio how to look high.

“I started crawling on the floor. We were both on the floor, drooling. His father came into the room and asked what the h… we were doing,” Belfort said.
