"Given Leonardo DiCaprio's award-nominated take as the coke-snorting, Quaalude-popping Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street, it's hard to believe that the actor hasn't indulged in debauchery of his own once or twice. But the actor told the Los Angeles Times that he's "never done" drugs.

"That's because I saw this stuff literally every day when I was 3 or 4 years old," DiCaprio said. "So Hollywood was a walk in the park for me.... I'd go to parties and it was there and, yeah, there's that temptation. Hollywood is a very volatile place where artists come in and they essentially say they want to belong. It's incredibly vulnerable to be an actor and also get criticism at a young age when you're formulating who you are. We've seen a lot of people fall victim to that, and it's very unfortunate."

DiCaprio built up a reputation as a party boy in the late 1990s when, fresh off Titanic fame, he and his actor entourage — dubbed "The Pussy Posse" — were caught on camera wreaking havoc in New York City."* Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Ben Mankiewicz and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) break it down.
