Wolf of Wall Street’s Real-Life Inspiration Reacts Hilariously to Disney Plus Movie Release

Disney has been a staple in family entertainment for generations, captivating children with timeless films. From beloved hits like Frozen and Moana to the unexpected arrival of Martin Scorsese’s controversial biopic The Wolf of Wall Street, Disney+ seems to be broadening its offerings starting this April.

Mark your calendars! On April 1, 2023, the 2013 cinematic exploration of the debauched world of Wall Street, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as the infamous Jordan Belfort, will be available for streaming on Disney+.This film, rated R for good reason, is packed with wild parties, explicit scenes, and exaggerated chaos. Thus, it’s unlikely to serve as a wholesome financial primer for young viewers.

The decision to add this adult-themed film to Disney+’s roster has bewildered fans, including Belfort himself, who humorously responded to the news on X/Twitter.

“Thank Disney” for the hilarious reactions to Wolf of Wall Street

In an amusing tweet, Belfort quipped, “When you tell your kid it’s time to go to bed and they reply, ‘I’m not f**king leaving!’ you can thank Disney!” Read his full tweet here.

Responses to his tweet have ranged from laughter to disbelief, with fans chiming in with comments like “LMAO this is incredible” and “Such a GOAT response.” Another follower pointed out the amusing juxtaposition, saying, “Some 13-year-old is about to have his world rocked, ” while yet another mentioned, “Nothing says ‘family movie night’ like the limousine crawling scene, lmfao!”

However, there is a notable detail to be aware of. Access to The Wolf of Wall Street on Disney+ is contingent upon having a Hulu subscription. Parents who subscribe to Disney+ exclusively can breathe easier; their children won’t have the film at their fingertips.

Interestingly, Belfort remains unfazed by the film’s notoriety. He expressed admiration for DiCaprio’s portrayal of him, even making a cameo appearance in the movie’s closing scene. Furthermore, Belfort insists that the real-life excesses of his past were even more outrageous than depicted on screen.“The drug use and the stuff with the hookers and the sales assistants and the sex in the office… that stuff is really, really accurate, ” he remarked to The Hollywood Reporter.“In some respects, my life was even worse than that. Though I’d say I did more quaaludes than cocaine.”
