It’s hard to forget Leonardo DiCaprio’s portrayal of Calvin Candie in Django Unchained. What is the value of the scene with the broken glass? However, at the beginning of filming, the actor almost refused the role.
This was due to the abundance of profanities with racist overtones. Leo didn’t want to insult his colleagues so much that he couldn’t even say them out loud during the reading.
Jamie Foxx, who plays Django, talked about this in an interview with Vanity Fair. According to him, he helped DiCaprio overcome the turning point in himself along with Samuel L. Jackson.
“In the days of slavery, we didn’t even communicate. We are not friends or colleagues on set in front of the camera. “I’m not Jamie Foxx, I’m Django,” the actor said.
The advice worked for DiCaprio. He didn’t even respond to Fox’s greeting when they met the next day before filming. Of course, after the project was completed, everything returned to normal. But Tom Cruise won’t be shaking hands with Jaime Foxx in real life. And it’s not about the movie, it’s about personal hostility. We wrote the reason here.
