To prepare for this specific scene, in which William Hale uses a type of bat to attack Ernest Burkhart’s butt, DiCaprio used padding in his pants in order to minimize the pain, as reported by director of photography Rodrigo Prieto during an interview with Insider . In the conversation, Prieto recalled witnessing the filming of the scene on set and thinking how painful it must have been.

He praised DiCaprio’s willingness to accept anything director Martin Scorsese asked of him during production, stating, “I remember doing them a few times and thinking, ‘Oh, that must hurt.’
There was some padding on his butt,” he stated. “But you could tell that De Niro was really hitting on him… Leo is up for a lot. He will do anything.”
