Leonardo DiCaprio And Tobey Maguire’s Huge Decision
The name of the movie that the two stars saw as a black mark in their careers was ‘Don’s Plum.’ The movie was inspired by another movie called ‘My Dinner with Andre.’ The issue was that it was way too naturalistic. Sometimes in such movies, the fine line between the actors and their actual selves is blurred. Thus, when Leonardo DiCaprio yells, “I’ll ***ing throw a bottle at your face, you goddamn wh***,” some may not have seen it as pure fiction. On the other hand, Tobey Maguire discussed his masturbation habits openly in the movie.
There were plenty of such reasons why the actors didn’t want the public to see these characters who could’ve easily been mistaken for being close to their real nature. The line became more fuzzy because the friends formed a sort of frat house of former child stars and those on the verge of fame. These people used their position to lure women in. Well, ‘Don’s Plum‘ got shut down for good in the end.
Dale Wheatley’s Opinion On The Movie
Actor Dale Wheatley, who played one of the five friends told the New York Post, “We believed we were making a film with our friends and foolishly didn’t pay attention to paperwork.” Now the leads from the movie have reached new heights in their careers and the movie is getting a lot of attention.
Wheatley added, “While the world celebrates — and certainly Americans celebrate — his great achievements in cinema, he chooses to use an iron fist to suppress the work of many other artists including him in a film made 20 years ago.”
