“I do remember doing them quite a few times and thinking, ‘Oh, that must hurt,’ the cinematographer said in an interview with Insider.

“There was some padding on [DiCaprio’s] butt. But you could tell De Niro was really hitting him.”

He added that Leo was “game for so much” and that he would “do anything” for the film.

The film, based on the 2017 nonfiction book by David Grann, centers around the murders of the indigenous people in Osage County, Oklahoma during the 1920s.

Leo plays Ernest Burkhart, the nephew of businessman William Hale (De Niro) who came up with a devious plan to kill a wealthy Osage family after oil was found on their land. Watch the trailer!
