DiCaprio: Foxx, Jackson Encouraged Me To Say 'N-Word' During 'Django'

DiCaprio: “I’ve gotta say, the first day on set was incredibly difficult for me… The language is hard for us as actors to say and some of the things that my character does are obviously atrocious. But, you know, they [Foxx and Jackson] both sat me down, we were all sitting around the table, and they said, ‘You know if you don’t take this character to the utter extreme, if you don’t speak the truth about the way we were treated at that time, then people will think that this is sugar coated. That you’re not telling the truth.”

Jamie Foxx reported that Samuel L. Jackson went up to DiCaprio and said, “Hey, ‘M-F’, get over there. It’s just another Tuesday for us. Let’s get going.”
