Hill, who stars in the upcoming film _War Dogs_, told _Entertainment Tonight_ that his former _The Wolf of Wall Street_ co-star was successful in terrifying him. “It was funny! I was totally taken off guard,” Hill said at a _War Dogs_ screening on Wednesday. “I was scared sh-tless.” The prank, which took place Monday in New York City, was captured on [video](http://www.etonline.com/news/194713%5Fleonardo%5Fdicaprio%5Fepically%5Fscares%5Fjonah%5Fhill%5Fby%5Fpretending%5Fto%5Fbe%5Fa%5Ffan/) and went viral. Hill can be seen idly standing by a restaurant as DiCaprio runs up to him, pointing a cell phone in his face. Hill appears visibly frightened before he realizes it’s his longtime friend. The two then hug it out. \[[_ET_](http://www.etonline.com/news/194861%5Fjonah%5Fhill%5Fsays%5Fhe%5Fwas%5Fscared%5Fstless%5Fby%5Fleonardo%5Fdicaprio%5Fcrazed%5Ffan%5Fprank/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4438676/jonah-hill-leonardo-dicaprio-prank-scared/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4438676/jonah-hill-leonardo-dicaprio-prank-scared/"},"headline":"Jonah Hill Says He Was 'Scared Sh-tless’ by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Prank","datePublished":"2016-08-04T14:10:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:59:29.759Z","description":"\"It was funny!
