Leonardo Dicaprio: 'Wolf of Wall Street' Avoids NC-17 Rating

Leonardo DiCaprio points out the sights to his pal while hanging out on his hotel balcony on Tuesday (December 3) in Miami Beach, Fla.

The 39-year-old actor’s new film The Wolf of Wall Street reportedly avoided an NC-17 rating by cutting some serious sex scenes, THR reports. Director Martin Scorsese went back and forth with the ratings board to get the movie to have an “R” rating.

It is unclear what content was actually edited out.

The film, which is set to hit theaters on Christmas Day, is also eligible in the 2014 Oscars race. Stay tuned for Oscars nominations next Thursday!
