Eventually, he ended up with the result the director wanted.
Quentin Tarantino managed to put Leonardo DiCaprio in an uncomfortable situation. For the actor, the human attitude was more important than the lead role in a good movie.
“Django Unchained” was a real challenge for DiCaprio because he had to say the most offensive word to dark-skinned people. As the co-star Jamie Foxx later admitted, the Hollywood star couldn’t even talk to his colleagues the day after filming. Initially, Leo had futilely begged filmmakers to give up that scene.
“Leonardo DiCaprio had a problem saying the n word. He said ‘Pal, pal, it’s tough for me to say this.’ I said, ‘Leo, we’re not friends, this is just another Thursday. This is your property. These aren’t humans. This is your property.’ And, when Leo came in the next day, it was literally like ‘What’s up Leo? What’s up fam?’ He didn’t speak.”
