Leonardo DiCaprio explained why Jonah Hill was hired on the spot for The Wolf of Wall Street

The article from LADbible discusses Jonah Hill's casting in the film "The Wolf of Wall Street." Initially, Hill was not the first choice for the role of Donnie Azoff, the erratic and loyal sidekick to Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Jordan Belfort. The role was offered to other actors like Paul Dano and Michael Cera, who turned it down. Hill, however, was very eager to work with director Martin Scorsese and accepted the part, even agreeing to a significantly lower salary than his usual rate, reportedly taking just $60,000 for the role. His decision was influenced by his desire to work with Scorsese, whom he admired greatly, and the opportunity to be part of such a high-profile project. Hill's performance was well-received, contributing to the film's success and earning him a nomination for the MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance.
