Before Hilary Swank was a two-time Oscar winner, she had two boys who were interested in her on Growing Pains. She looks the same now as she did when she was 17 in that 1992 episode.

Before Leonardo DiCaprio was an Oscar winner, he gave an Oscar-winning performance on Santa Barbara. I wonder if Martin Scorsese saw the 15-year-old in this 1990 episode, and this would grow up to be his go-to guy.

Did Robert De Niro really spank Leonardo DiCaprio?
October 24th, 2023 under Leonardo DiCaprio. [ Comments: none ]

Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio are starring in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

And there is one scene that everyone is talking about. De Niro hits DICaprio’s with a paddleboard. So, was it real, or was it fake?

Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto talked to Insider, and they wanted to know more about that scene. “I do remember doing them quite a few times and thinking, ‘Oh, that must hurt,'” Prieto said. “There was some padding on his butt. But you could tell De Niro was really hitting him.”

Prieto added that DiCaprio was game for whatever they wanted to do. Either that, or he likes to be spanked. I am going to go with the latter.

Before Leonardo DiCaprio was a troubled teen in The Basketball Diaries, he had already been one on Santa Barbara. He has come a long way since he was 15 in that 1990 episode.
