“Legendary director Martin Scorsese blasted his Wolf of Wall Street star Leonardo DiCaprio, telling the hunk to quit behaving like an immature party boy or he can kiss his Oscar dreams goodbye!” reports the National Enquirer.
According to the tabloid, “The two had the tough-love talk after Leonardo complained to Scorsese about George Clooney criticizing the actor for hanging out with a trash-talking crowd.”
“Martin told Leo he’s as gifted a performer as he’s ever worked with, but at his age he should have won two Oscars by now,” a so-called “source” tells the Enquirer.
The tab’s insider says Scorsese allegedly “told Leo he should get serious about his life and stop hanging out with hoodlums, trying to bed every girl who catches his eye and going out partying all the time.”
Uh-huh.
Well, the Enquirer once fabricated tension between DiCaprio and Quentin Tarantino, and seems to have a pretty loose grasp on what’s actually happening in the actor’s personal life.
So it’s not a complete surprise that this story wound up being bogus, too.
A rep for Scorsese calls the Enquirer report “hogwash.”
