Between the lube-covered ham and mountains of fake cocaine, it’s easy to forget The Wolf of Wall Street also features a shot of Leo with a candle burning in between his ass cheeks. And, according to Leo's co-star, the script didn't even call for it:

"I kind of provoked Leo into doing it, and I can’t believe he did," Margot Robbie told Variety. "I said if he was committed to the role, then he would do it properly."

"The prop man had to light the candle," continues the film's editor Thelma Schoonmaker, who also points out that DiCaprio didn't use a body double for any of his nude scenes. He also didn't get any Oscars.

He gesticulated so wildly he sliced his hand open##

During a scene in Django Unchained, DiCaprio accidentally smashed a glass while slamming his hand against a table. "My hand started really pouring blood all over the table," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "Maybe they thought it was done with special effects.” Number of Oscars = none.

He was very rude to Jamie Foxx##

DiCaprio reportedly did everything he could to get into the mindset of plantation owner Calvin Candie for Django Unchained. Even if that meant icing out the film's African American lead. "I said, 'What's up, Leo?'" Jamie Foxx, who appeared in the title role, told Oprah's OWN Network. "He did not speak to me… He went way in to where it's like, 'Okay, now you're really going there.’” Somewhere DiCaprio did not go was to the podium to collect an Oscar.

He forced himself to say the N-word an uncomfortable number of times##

Even the most dedicated method actor has his limits. “At one point he [DiCaprio] was feeling it was tough saying his lines, 'ngga, ngga,'" Foxx was quoted as saying in 2012. "Samuel [L. Jackson] pulled him aside and says, 'Hey motherf**ker, this is another Tuesday for us. Let's go!'” If only Samuel L. Jackson had the same powers of persuasion over the voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

He appeared in a film where he didn’t have top billing##

According to IMDB, Django Unchained was the first time in 16 years that DiCaprio's wasn't billed as the lead, and if you look at the poster you can see Leo roughing it all the way down in third place. Third place is coincidentally where he's landed every time he's been nominated for an Oscar. Either third place, or fifth, or fourth, or second. Definitely never first.

He spent seven hours a day in makeup##

The the 36-year-old DiCaprio had to go through hours upon hours of hair and makeup in order to turn himself into portly F.B.I director J. Edgar Hoover. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the process involved a full silicone bald cap with individual hairs punched in, a glued-on toupee, two pairs of contact lenses, ultra-soft silicone appliances on his face, a circular augmenter in one of DiCaprio's nostrils to make it look slightly off-kilter, and a fat suit that included latex arm pieces as he aged. The only thing it did not include, unfortunately, was any Oscars.

He took a 90 percent pay cut##

DiCaprio graciously forwent his usual $20 million fee in order to accommodate J. Edgar's $35 million budget. Instead he was paid the measly sum of $2 million. He was not repaid in Oscars.

He gorged himself on cupcakes in a futile attempt to put on weight##

Since the fat suit he wore in J. Edgar was so claustrophobic, DiCaprio said he attempted to put on the weight himself. "I tried my best," he told London newspaper The Daily Mirror, "but there weren’t enough cupcakes around to do it!” There were also no Oscars.

He studied J.Edgar Hoover at a "college-level"##

When describing the research that went into the role of J. Edgar Hoover, did everything from traveling to Washington to visit one of J. Edgar's old homes to touring the Justice Department and speaking to one of the few people alive who worked closely with him. He described it as the equivalent of "a college-level course." It was not the equivalent, however, of an Oscar.

He traumatized himself in an abandoned mental hospital##
