That’s right – he’s never done drugs! He confessed this to the Los Angeles Times around the time the film The Wolf of Wall Street came out. He talked about growing up “very poor” and how his upbringing ultimately helped him to resist the urge to do drugs amidst his peers in Hollywood.
According to Leo, he was around drugs growing up every day when he was around 3 or 4, and so that temptation just wasn’t there for him once he got older. For his role in The Wolf of Wall Street, which involved his character doing quite a bit of drugs, Leo said he and co-star Jonah Hill consulted an on-set drug expert. They also spent a lot of time studying the YouTube video, “The Drunkest Guy in the World.”
