Hidden Gifts: How DiCaprio and Brad Pitt Frightened Each Other Half to Death

Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt

The incident occurred during filming for Tarantino's movie.

It's no secret that actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt are known for their excellent sense of humour, which is evident both on screen and during interviews. However, one of them doesn’t quite appreciate jokes at his expense. This story unfolded on the set of Quentin Tarantino's film Once Upon aTime in Hollywood. DiCaprio and Pitt shared a close friendship, and both are known for their love of pranks, so it's no surprise they played jokes on each other during filming.

One day, DiCaprio decided to pull a prank on his colleague by placing a fake snake in Brad Pitt's trailer. Pitt, who isn’t a fan of reptiles, was in for an unpleasant surprise when he opened the door and saw the realistic snake on the floor. His initial shock quickly turned into laughter when he realised it was just a prank by Leo.

But Pitt wasn’t about to let DiCaprio have the last laugh. Soon after, DiCaprio found his own trailer filled with dozens of plastic spiders. Unlike Pitt, who isn’t fond of snakes, Leonardo isn't particularly keen on spiders, so his reaction was loud and emotional.

These pranks brought a sense of fun to the set, and the film only strengthened their friendship. Later, in interviews, both actors mentioned how much they enjoyed their time filming together and that they remained good friends long after the project wrapped up.
