It seems like there’s a Hollywood bombshell on the horizon, as Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly sworn off working with the legendary Martin Scorsese and iconic Robert De Niro ever again. The drama unfolded after the premiere of their new movie, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” according to RadarOnline.com.

Insiders spilled the tea, suggesting that DiCaprio’s decision was fueled by a sense of disrespect he felt on set. According to sources, DiCaprio felt downright “abused” during filming, and it’s not a pretty picture.

Allegedly, the heartthrob actor felt slighted by Scorsese, who supposedly gave him the cold shoulder in favor of his childhood buddy, De Niro. You see, De Niro has been Scorsese’s go-to leading man for a whopping 10 films spanning five decades. That’s some serious bromance right there.

“Until this project, Leo has always had Marty’s undivided attention when they’re making movies together,” spilled an insider to the National Enquirer. “But with Bob in the picture, he felt left out.”

But wait, it gets juicier. It’s as if they were ganging up on poor Leo! “Leo felt like the two 80-year-olds ganged up on him,” continued the source. “Any problems Bob had with Leo he would take directly to Marty — and Marty would side with De Niro.”

Scorsese didn’t help matters by taking a little jab at the 49-year-old heartthrob during a recent interview, where he mentioned DiCaprio’s penchant for improvisation and line changes as “endless, endless, endless!” Ouch.

And let’s not forget that controversial scene Scorsese added, one that wasn’t in the original script. It involved De Niro delivering a not-so-gentle spanking to DiCaprio’s behind, which forced the “Revenant” star to don some hidden padding to endure the repeated takes. Talk about an uncomfortable work environment!

The insider concluded, “Leo felt like Bob and Marty abused him — and he is no glutton for punishment. He’s not going to work with them again.” This is a Hollywood breakup we didn’t see coming.

Considering their history of successful collaborations, this decision is nothing short of shocking. DiCaprio has starred in six Scorsese films since 2002, including hits like “Gangs of New York,” “The Aviator,” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

It’s worth noting that De Niro played a crucial role in introducing DiCaprio to Scorsese, having worked with the budding star when he was just 18 on the 1993 drama “This Boy’s Life.” And let’s not forget that touching Academy Award speech in 2015 when DiCaprio won Best Actor, where he thanked Scorsese for teaching him about the cinematic art form. Hollywood, it seems, is full of surprises!
