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.”
