Watch Leonardo DiCaprio prank his ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ co-star Jonah Hill

Footage has emerged of Leonardo DiCaprio pranking Jonah Hill.

Hill was waiting to meet up with his The Wolf Of Wall Street co-star in West Village in New York, when DiCaprio surprised his friend.

In video footage which you can watch below, an unsuspecting Hill has his head down looking at his mobile when the Oscar winner pretends to be an overzealous fan demanding a close-up picture of the movie star.

Meanwhile, it was recenty revealed a young DiCaprio apparently missed out on a role on Baywatch because David Hasselhoff feared the teenage actor would make him look “older”.

Из рубрики “Так веселятся обладатели “Оскара””. • Они стали близкими друзьями после съёмок в фильме 2013 года “Волк с Уолл-стрит”. Леонардо ДиКаприо вчера в Нью-Йорке незаметно подкрался к Джоне Хиллу, изобразив из себя фаната. 32-летний Хилл шёл себе спокойно по улице и что-то набирал в своём телефоне. Лео подбежал к другу сзади, закричал и нацелил на него камеру своего телефона. Джона сначала испугался, а потом, узнав ДиКаприо, улыбнулся и обнял его. • Леонардо, безусловно, был доволен тем, что его розыгрыш удался: он улыбался и имел очень гордый вид. Потом к ним присоедининились их приятели и они мило поболтали. • Как вам чувство юмора ДиКаприо? • #леонардодикаприо #LeonardoDiCaprio #джонахилл #JonahHill #amazing #bestoftheday #insanity #instagood #лето #красота #шоубизнес #новостизвезд #новостизвёзд #secrets_of_celebrities #интересно #интересное #подпишись #лайки #новостьдня #инстаграмнедели #популярно #популярное #celebrities #celebrity #video #интересноевидео

According to Michael Berk, one of the show’s original producers, a 15-year-old DiCaprio was being lined up to play the son of Hasselhoff’s character Mitch Buchanan before The Hoff stepped in.

“We actually had DiCaprio ready to be cast,” Berk told The Hollywood Reporter. “But David thought he was too old to play his son. David thought it would make him look older. He had a lot of concerns of that type.” An actor significantly younger than DiCaprio, nine-year-old Jeremy Jackson, was subsequently cast as Mitch Buchanan’s son.

Berk also revealed that Hasselhoff, an executive producer on the show as well as its lead, initially objected to the casting of Pamela Anderson, who joined Baywatch for its second season.

Berk recalled: “David said, ‘I don’t want a girl that’s been in Playboy.’ He said, ‘Children watch this show.'”

However, Berk’s fellow original producer Douglas Schwartz suggested Hasselhoff may have had other reasons for being concerned by Anderson’s casting. “She had these enormous breasts, and David thought he would be upstaged by everyone looking at her breasts,” he said. “Which is what happened.”
