The real Wolf of Wall Street has hilarious response to movie coming to Disney Plus

Plenty of Disney classics have kept kids occupied for decades. Frozen, Moana… and from next month, Martin Scorsese’s depraved biopic The Wolf of Wall Street. Even the real one is baffled.

Sleep tight, don’t let the stock market bite. It’s a phrase absolutely no parent has used in the history of mankind, but if your children are left alone with Disney Plus in April, it could catch on.

Why? The Wolf of Wall Street, the 2013 movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio as fraudulent Wall Street mogul Jordan Belfort, is coming to Disney Plus from April 1. Thanks to the debauched parties, wild sex scenes, and all-around chaos, they won’t exactly get a good financial education by watching.

The R-rated movie being picked up by the streaming service has baffled fans, including a hilarious response from one you might recognize (yes, Belfort himself).

“Thank Disney” for your kids going wild for Wolf of Wall Street

Replying to a post on X/Twitter, Belfort said: “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!”

“LMAO this is incredible,” one fan responded, with a second weighing in, “Such a GOAT response.”

They’re not the only people to have found the addition strange. A third fan commented, “Some 13-year-old is about to have his world rocked,” with a fourth adding, “Nothing says ‘movie night with the family’ like the limousine crawling scene lmfao.”

There is a slight caveat, though. The Wolf of Wall Street will be available to those who have Disney+ through their Hulu subscription, so parents who have Disney+ outright can breathe a sigh of relief.

In a way, it could be worse. As you can tell from his handle, Belfort is still fully leaning into his Wolf of Wall Street nickname. Not only was he “blown away” by DiCaprio’s portrayal of him, Belfort actually appears in the closing scene as an Auckland Straight Line host. He also thinks the real-life events were “even worse” than the movie made them out to be.

“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,” Belfort told The Hollywood Reporter. “In some respects, my life was even worse than that. Though I’d say I did more quaaludes than cocaine.”
