Why did Robert De Niro spank the hell out of Leonardo DiCaprio's ass with a wooden paddle?


That scene really puzzled me a lot, what was going on there, what was the point of spanking his ass? What was that all about, was spanking his ass going to somehow teach him a lesson? Was DiCaprio being naughty at some point in the movie and De Niro felt he had no choice but to punish him for his bad behavior and spank the hell out of Leo's ass with a wooden paddle?

De Niro absolutely demanded that scene be in the movie. Said he wouldn't do the film without it. DiCaprio was OK, since they had done that many times before IRL.
