What Lamborghini was in The Wolf of Wall Street?
Two 25th Anniversary Edition Countachs were used in the production of The Wolf of Wall Street. At least one other Countach, an earlier 5000 QV model with clear visual differences from the 25th Anniversary Edition cars, was also sourced, and may have been used to record engine noise for the film’s audio track. According to GTSpirit, a real 25th anniversary Countach was crashed to make the movie Wolf of Wall Street.
Did the yacht scene really happen in Wolf of Wall Street?
The Jordan Belfort yacht sinking scene in The Wolf of Wall Street was heavily inspired by a real-life event, though the movie did take some creative liberties. For one, the yacht was called Naomi in the reel version since the name of Belfort’s wife (played by Margot Robbie) was changed in the movie. Margot Robbie was only 22 years old when she filmed The Wolf of Wall Street, which helped her secure the role of Naomi due to the character’s younger age. Leonardo DiCaprio, who played Jordan Belfort, was 16 years older than Robbie, highlighting a significant age difference between the two main actors.Robbie’s big break came in 2013’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” for which she earned just $347,000 in her role as Naomi Lapaglia opposite Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort. DiCaprio was paid $10 million for his work in the film, but dissecting this pay disparity is fodder for an article other than this one).
