We were biking on Kent Avenue by the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Steiner Studios this morning when we came upon this impressive sight: Dozens of shipping containers stacked up in a horseshoe around what appears to be the front of a yacht. A crew-member told us they were preparing to shoot a scene for Martin Scorcese's drama The Wolf of Wall Street, in which Leonardo DiCaprio portrays decadent investment brokerage founder Jordan Belfort.
We didn't spot Leo on set this morning, but on Monday he was acting on a yacht in Battery Park Marina. Here he is pretending to leer at a beautiful blonde woman's ass and pretending to have so much money he can just throw it off the side of a boat. ACTING!
