Martin Scorsese's new film Wolf of Wall Street is bringing a lot of attention to the stars of the film. But one also has to wonder if it is bringing them bad luck. Leonardo DiCaprio is reportedly suffering from debilitating back pain since the filming, while Scorsese was had to deal with his most embarrassing public moment to date as he was verbally beaten in front of god and everyone at the Academy's premiere of the film. Rob Reiner is in hot water for endorsing the film's gratuitous use of the "F" word, and Margot Robbie has been dealing with accusations that she is a home wrecking cheat, since risqué pictures surfaced of her and superstar Will Smith.
Martin Scorsese might be in line for an Oscar or two, which is nice, because he has already stood in line to be brow beaten.
Not only did 71-year-old director Martin Scorsese get an earful from some crude moron at the premiere of Wolf of Wall Street at the Academy Samuel Goldwyn Theater, he had to read about it the next day on living fossil Hope Holiday's Facebook:
"Last night was torture at the Academy--The Wolf Of Wall Street--three hours of torture--same disgusting crap over and over again--after the film they had a discussion which a lot of us did not stay for--the elevator doors opened and Leonardo D. Martin S. and a few others got out then a screenwriter ran over to them and started screaming-shame on you-disgusting."
Then there is poor Margot Robbie, the Australian beauty who plays Leo's wife in the film. She has been accused of having an affair, since just before the movie aired.
The allegations center around some photo's that she took with Will Smith in a photo booth wherein she exposed her lingerie while he lifted up his shirt.
The 23-year-old model/actress has been trying to contain the rumors with appeals to reason on Twitter to little avail:
"Been working nonstop, just catching my breath. There's absolutely no truth to the ridiculous rumor in Star mag. It's disappointing that goofing around on set could be taken so out of context."
Rob Reiner, who is a semi-successful director in his own right, has been taking heat for all the coarse language used in the film, because according to TMZ he was silly enough to defend it:
"Critics are bashing The Wolf of Wall Street for its excessive use of the F-word ... but one of the movie's stars says it was a career highlight. Rob Reiner--who plays Jordan Belfort's dad--told us he's aware audiences hear the word way more than in most films (506 times)...but if Martin Scorsese wants it that way, well Rob is a happy soldier.
Finally we come to the real man of the hour, the film's lead Leonardo DiCaprio.
The 39-year-old bragged about the condition of his body in the movie, but word has it that there isn't much to be boastful about anymore.
Leo was on the floor for a week on set filming a scene where he is so high he can't walk and must fall in, on and down things, like a flight of brick stairs for instance.
The star is excited about the accolades the performance garnered but according to sources in Star he is practically crippled.
"He's in nonstop pain and has gained weight because he can't exercise. It hurts to lie down for too long, and it's agony to twist his body into any crazy positions...[But] he still considers it the role of a lifetime. Of course, it would ease the pain if he won an Oscar."
Good luck and god's Speed.
