The actor told the media that filming What’s Eating Gilbert Grape was difficult. Because of this, he mistreated Leonardo DiCaprio.

He said, “It was a hard time for me with that film, for some reason. I don’t know why. I tortured him. I really did. He was always talking about these video games, you know? I told you it was kind of a dark period. I was like, “No, I will not give you a drag of my cigarette while you hide from your mother again, Leo.”

Apologizing, the actor said he respects DiCaprio. I’d say the absolute truth is that I respect Leo a lot. He worked really hard on that film and spent a lot of time researching. He came to set, and he was ready to work hard, and all his ducks were in a row, “he stated.
