Given Leonardo DiCaprio’s award-nominated take as the coke-snorting, Quaalude-popping Jordan Belfort in _The Wolf of Wall Street_, it’s [hard to believe](http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/moviesnow/la-et-mn-leonardo-dicaprio-20140130,0,611473.story#ixzz2saitLGpk) that the actor hasn’t indulged in debauchery of his own once or twice. But the actor told the Los Angeles _Times_ that he’s “never done” drugs.

“That’s because I saw this stuff literally every day when I was 3 or 4 years old,” DiCaprio said. “So Hollywood was a walk in the park for me…. I’d go to parties and it was there and, yeah, there’s that temptation. Hollywood is a very volatile place where artists come in and they essentially say they want to belong. It’s incredibly vulnerable to be an actor and also get criticism at a young age when you’re formulating who you are. We’ve seen a lot of people fall victim to that, and it’s very unfortunate.”

DiCaprio built up a reputation as a party boy in the late 1990s when, fresh off _Titanic_ fame, he and his actor entourage — dubbed “The Pussy Posse” — were caught on camera wreaking havoc in New York City. _New York Magazine_ [detailed](http://www.vulture.com/2013/11/leonardo-dicaprio-party-prince-new-york-magazine-1998-profile.html) the antics extensively in a 1998 feature called “Leo, Prince of the City.” But while the actor and his friends certainly drank and went clubbing as 20-somethings in New York, drugs, he says, were never a part of that experience for him. At 39, DiCaprio is now more likely to get caught by the paparazzi [riding on bikes around the city with starlets and models](http://www.popsugar.com/Leonardo-DiCaprio-Riding-Bikes-31141581) than exiting a rager.

The actor [said](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/31/leonardo-dicaprio-jonah-hill-high%5Fn%5F4524632.html) in a _The_ _Wolf of Wall Street_ press conference that he and Jonah Hill prepared for the scenes in which they were high by consulting with the on-set drug expert and watching the YouTube video “[The Drunkest Man in the World.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWmjWtK7Vd4#t=0)”
