this guy is so sneaky I switch the meaning of his words almost by default: no when he says yes and yes when he says no and I'm still not sure I got it right, lol
Back in the 90's, "Dwarf Tossing" was extremely popular at many events, especially parties...Little people, essentially sold themselves out and actually made good money doing it, until the authorities banned its practice around the Millennial era.
Those soft millennials banning fun things! We should also go back to the good old days when paying for p*ssy was legal too. Those women *DID* sell themselves out as well after all.
Exactly. Cause she is following society's norms. People think snorting drugs are cool but no tossing Midgets is where I cross the line.. We all know he did.
@@unconcernedcitizen4092 The term "narcissist" comes from Greek mythology (read the story of Narcissus if you don't know it), yet we don't find it politically incorrect to use this term on people who fit the definition, even though what they really need is psychological help and they are nothing like the character of Narcissus. They're just words, and their meanings/usage evolve with time. There's an infinite amount of things you can consider offensive but it's just not productive/viable to carry on this trail. Case in point, I often see teenagers nowadays calling each other "mentally challenged" instead of "retarded". Did we accomplish anything by making "retarded" a pejorative term? The new term simply became the new reference for insults, it didn't solve anything.
Come on. That little dude wasn't under duress while getting flung into a target. He went into business for himself and exploited his deformity. If anything he banked handsomely due to his height handicap.
Beautiful people capitalize on their physical beauty. Athletes on their physical prowess. Basketball players on height. Smart people on their brains. Why would capitalizing on dwarfism be any different? I don't get it.
This guy didnt ruin lives. He targeted the wealthiest 1% of Americans. They had incomes of over $10million a year. He earned 50% of what they where stupid enough to invest. Its bullshit if you say he ruined them. He lived a life we wish we could. Say what you will but i find him pretty inspiring. I mean listen to him talk. He was made to sell. Hero
I love how he goes from the movie is fictionalized to I was out of the firm to I don't condone it to I'm not proud of it in 5 seconds lol. He definitely tossed some midgets.
I've read the book and almost everything is true and did happen but not exactly in the same context as far as characters and timeline goes. For example, yes he saved someone from choking to death but it wasn't Danny porush it was a different character in a different situation. Yes, he ripped up his furniture to find drugs but it was because he was a drugged out maniac who couldn't find his crack rock so he ripped up all the furniture in the house to find it, including the carpet
Yeah that's it. They do as if they were concerned about the loss of money of hard-working people, but they don't act the same, when the government EVERY YEAR throws out more money of the tax-payers, than the amount of money that Mr. Belfort allegedly has cheated the investors. And the point with the midgets... lol in the 80s there was a weekly show called "games people play" which was sent all across the world and in that show, they did even much more with midgets, than just throwing them across the room. And no one forced those midgets to do that.
Sorry but he did not make it. He ripped people off to 'make it' and winded up in jail, poor and owes millions in back pay to those he ripped off. He is a loser.
syphe101 not defending him but he did make it on his own he just got greedy by trying to make his money grow more even if what he has to do is illegally
One repugnant act after another in this movie and it's the midget tossing that gets you? It's pretty bad, but at least those little people were willing participants.
All these haters...look, this is fucking America. It's your God-given right to make as much money by whatever means necessary. This guy's my hero. And if you don't like it....I've got a penny stock I can pitch to you. You'll be investing in...not being jealous. That's where all this hate for Jordan comes from. Pure, unadulterated jealousy.
He tossed them. And I heard he still tosses them. He's just not proud of it. Every nite he has to get his fix and toss a couple dwarfs. He's all of us, really.
In 2012 there was actually a midget celebrating his birthday and a stranger tossed him and now the wee guy's in a wheelchair. Just the thought of being responsible for permanently crippling a midget would be enough for me.
100% true, I've read both books and I'd highly recommend them if you liked the movie, so many things and events not being shown in the movie is present in the books and they're way more personal too.
I also read one of his interviews where he says the midget throwing did happen except that he was not there. I guess this douchebag hasn't changed one bit.
BasketballStud99 He didn't decline that it happened... he said it happened after he left the firm, hence why he said it was fictional in the movie (he's still at the firm in the movie) and hence why he said he's not proud of it. Not defending him as a person, just saying he wasn't lying here.
The midget toss is huge in Austrailia and the midgets love it . They get paid big bucks and it's all safe they land on soft foam and it is just wonderful fun
At the very beginning in the middle age, stock markets were founded to bring inventors and capital owners together, just nowadays a so called business-angel or a venture capital does. In my opinion Stratton Oakmont did nothing but what the stock market actually is made for. Those who really cause harm to the economy, are those on the stock market trading with fonds and the stocks of big companies, that have nothing new, but using their might on the market to defeat little companies with new ideas or those trading with forex or the like. Just because he sold ping-sheets to normal people, doesn't make him a criminal. I think Jordan Belfort did a big mistake not to have any competent lawyers to protect their company and to find out legal ways to achieve their goals. Actually why noone talks about ping-sheet-companies that became successful after they were supported by Stratton Oakmont?! And why no one has ever verified if their sold ping-sheets were more lossy than those, which they didn't offer to the ping-sheet-investors?! I'm sure, that they were even more successfull. It is said, that he caused something about 200 Million $ of loss for the investors, but why don't you talk about the madden-shoes company, which is only one of the companies, that they brought on market, which is more than 5 times of value, namely more than 1 billion $. So talking about being hooked by Stratton Oakmont is a nonsense, in my opinion. And there's always risk on the stock market and everybody knows this. There's even risk, if you put your money just on your bank account. So why accusing them because of the risk, which is given for the ping-sheets?! It isn't illegal to trade with ping-sheets, is it?! Did ALL the investors lose ALL their money?! By the way, if the FBI had something against them, they would have walked in like in Grenada, without asking and without meeting, but they couldn't, because they were more like vietnam, therefore, they arranged a meeting with Mr. Belfort. And I ask myself how the officer got that yellow piece of paper warning Danny, if not Danny himself gave it to him?! And why Danny wasn't arrested... and why Danny didn't just arrange a programmer to delete all those files, instead of deleting them by hand, one by one?! And why didn't he delete all other evidences to protect Jordan and all others in the company, while Jordan was in trial detention?! There are still a lot of questions about Dannys strange behaviour... however... there's always two sides of every story.... remember that.
Damn this guy is using the same methode for selling. But this time he makes believe to profesionals that they going to be rich listening to him. He is really smart in fact.
+omegapointil i always wondered about that as they completely ignore this point in the movie....cause in essence he stole money from people by lying to them.

Of course, who doesn't behind closed doors? :-)
He even said after denying it that "No I'm not proud of that" oops
It even said it in his book that he did! Lol
+Maggie Mahoney it said that he agreed to it but he never mentioned it actually happening. I always wondered whether it actually did
at the very end he says "i'm not proud of it" maybe he did do it all along.

@@cov9290 that's really cool 😎
Yup. Been to TWO parties in the 90s that had dwarf tossing.
Those soft millennials banning fun things! We should also go back to the good old days when paying for p*ssy was legal too. Those women *DID* sell themselves out as well after all.
The people who believe a word this guy says are the ones who would buy stock from him.
word! that's the most intelligent comment I've read here so far! although, to be fair, you can't sink much lower than antisemitism...
Just what I was thinking !!!!
Michael LeBlanc Agree. He is the kind of guy that he himself is not even aware of lying while lying.
Sean Wang I think he may have NPD, actually.
Michael LeBlanc I bealive everything he says and wouldnt buy a single thing from him. You have to understand that your own greed can make you blind.
It was a great movie, but he is a classic example of how money can change people. I often wonder how I would act if I ever became very wealthy.
+kirk gauthier find out. DO not fear wealth. It is a path to enlightenment
It may sound funny, but I guess I do fear wealth. I still would like to find out though.

Throwing midgets that's the part that disturbed her out of the whole movie!?
He was throwing midgets. No doubt about it.
Especially since he ends his sentence by saying, "I'm not proud of that..."
You can tell he's lying about the little people throwing, but I think the interviewer is honestly making a bigger deal out of it than it should be
I rolled my eyes at her ''little people'' politically correct bullshit. They're dwarves, when did that become offensive?
Exactly. Cause she is following society's norms. People think snorting drugs are cool but no tossing Midgets is where I cross the line.. We all know he did.
@@CosmicTeapot , the little people got a lot money for it and wear a helmet. ^^
@@CosmicTeapot Read that back to yourself and think hard. “Dwarf” literally means “not human.” Dwarves are folktale shit.

a thief is your hero. you need serious help
this is like saying piracy isn't hurting the creators xD Because someone is rich it doesn't mean you can scam and rob them
i dont get it, first he is saying he didnt throw little guys, then he said he is not proud of that! not proud of what? that he didnt do that???
Daniyar Seisenov that it was part of the movie?
if listen closely its sounds like he's trying to say it happened but he left before it happened so he wasn't apart of it.
+Daniyar Seisenov He's saying it didn't happen when he was with the firm. After he left they were doing that stuff, and he's not proud about it
yeah it sounded like he's fucking up the details lol.
Exactly lol caught him lying!
I wanna know if that rescue helicopter that blew up in the movie actually happened during the storm in real life.
oh no but that was put in the movie to symbolize his private jet that crashed simultaniously to the accident with the yacht
DerEinzigeNimmerland Thanks.
l a seagull flew into the engine of his private jet that was coming to extract him.
Yes there's an interview about it
What a legend and what a life but I will not trust him with anything haha
2:12 = Jordan Belfort becomes a ZOMBIE xD
+Just™ Those eyes are achievable by consistent dose of chemical drugs. X0
LOL
[Just] he's a warg in Westeros
sofullofpiss 😂😂😂😂
I love how he goes from the movie is fictionalized to I was out of the firm to I don't condone it to I'm not proud of it in 5 seconds lol. He definitely tossed some midgets.
So there was a lot of bullsht in the movie? A bit of fact and a bit of fiction. Also Jackass has a dwarf they throw around, he seems pretty happy.
Dwarf Throwing is a time honored tradition Down Under.
I've read the book and almost everything is true and did happen but not exactly in the same context as far as characters and timeline goes. For example, yes he saved someone from choking to death but it wasn't Danny porush it was a different character in a different situation. Yes, he ripped up his furniture to find drugs but it was because he was a drugged out maniac who couldn't find his crack rock so he ripped up all the furniture in the house to find it, including the carpet
Tell me the phone scene was real!!??
+MrOriginal which? the lemmons scene?
+MrOriginal which one?
+MrOriginal if you mean the lemmons scene then that's pretty much exactly how it happened in the book
palefox yes the lemmons scene HAHA
MrOriginal yeah, it's totally true!! except for the part where he saved danny from choking
Whatever you may think of him, he has a provider mindset. Very generous
you should consult a psychiatrist
You can read on his face that HE TOTALLY BROUGHT MIDGETS SO THEY COULD BE TOSSED !
Funny thing is during the whole movie I was like "I wonder if he's Jewish in real life" low and behold he is!
Only Jews are that clever!
Brandon Wells Only Jews are that clever...
muh shekels.
***** oy vey oy vey chill the fuck out
Wass Hannin How do you know hes Jewish?
He doesnt look like a jew, i looked up his surname its English and Scottish.
He's actually in the movie
yup,that scene when he anounces himself(Di Caprio)
Did she just say "tossing a mini human-being" ? lol wow
he scamed a bunch of people in finance why wouldnt he scam people to sell his book or movie?
0:44 is probably how he looked during the 'Drool Phase'
That last question at the end
Does the reporter truly believe that Jordan didn’t throw a ‘little person’
And love every second of it ? 😂
pause on 0:44
0:44 you wont be disappointed
Seeing his mannerisms, I feel Vince Vaughn might've been more suited for the role
yeees
Jagraj Wasan i thought he looked a lot like vince vaughn, but vince vaughn would be way to old to play him
@2:12 His eyes look up and right. It's an instinctual reaction you have to visually remember the event.
He's lying. He was there.
and he did toss the midget
I thought you look down when attempting to fabricate a lie
I just want to know if the hilfe plane scene was real
He definitely did it you can see the joy in his eyes
Damn i wanted to know if the scene with Matthew McConaughey was real
The call girls weren't in the office he clearly said they were downstairs how is that a fact?
A lot of jealous people commenting on here.
people with morals*
Yeah that's it. They do as if they were concerned about the loss of money of hard-working people, but they don't act the same, when the government EVERY YEAR throws out more money of the tax-payers, than the amount of money that Mr. Belfort allegedly has cheated the investors.

Dexter Booey theres nothing to be jealous. hes 110 million in debt and the government is going to take every cent he makes for the rest of his life.
So disappointed about the little people thing.
iF YOU WANT TO WATCH A GOOD MOVIE ON wALL STREET, WATCH THE BIG SHORT
Jordan took eye rolling into a whole new level
If I'm being honest, I can't picture this guy doing the "No nobility in poverty" speech like Leo did, even though he IS the real Wolfie lol.
E.T. tonight interview is shot at Hermosa Beach CA where he lives.
"Little People". So damn PC...
When I watched the film I thought i'd wasted my life, what a riot his was, totally mental lol
Wealth is a path to enlightenment. The path is not easy and Jordan Belfort is proof of that.
The face I do when I lie 2:12
Never thought I was going to hear her say "tossing a mini human-being"
wasn't this guy in the movie?
Christ just ask the questions lady, I don’t care what your feelings are and don’t ask things in such a condescending way. Super unprofessional
Forreal. Her opinion shouldn't matter. So unprofessional.
Didn’t he play miss man in scary movie
Isn't that the guy who play Gatsby in the grate Gatsby?
She didn't ask him about the ludes.
Did anyone else notice he said he didn't throw any 'little people' and at the end said ' im not proud of it ' ....?
Yeah.. "I've never done it, I don't condone it, I'm not proud of it".. that dude has totally thrown little people
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story..
I was hoping they'd talk about the Quaalude Lemmon 714 scene where he tries to drive and fucks his car up.
Am i the only one who loves the guy?He was nothing,made a name for himself,went back down and now is back up.
he shows that anyone can make it! pointing the finger at him ..... but he has shown it all. no matter where you come from and who you are.....
Sorry but he did not make it. He ripped people off to 'make it' and winded up in jail, poor and owes millions in back pay to those he ripped off.
He is a loser.
syphe101 not defending him but he did make it on his own he just got greedy by trying to make his money grow more even if what he has to do is illegally
One repugnant act after another in this movie and it's the midget tossing that gets you? It's pretty bad, but at least those little people were willing participants.
But 26 grand for a dinner?
Making a movie about him is such a mistake, because simply he didn't do anything deserving to be shared with people
what's wrong with tossing people at a dartboard
All these haters...look, this is fucking America. It's your God-given right to make as much money by whatever means necessary. This guy's my hero. And if you don't like it....I've got a penny stock I can pitch to you.
You'll be investing in...not being jealous. That's where all this hate for Jordan comes from. Pure, unadulterated jealousy.
He was locked up with me and he introduced me to a book agent.
He tossed them.
And I heard he still tosses them. He's just not proud of it.
Every nite he has to get his fix and toss a couple dwarfs. He's all of us, really.
Jordan hasn't changed one little bit and never will
In 2012 there was actually a midget celebrating his birthday and a stranger tossed him and now the wee guy's in a wheelchair. Just the thought of being responsible for permanently crippling a midget would be enough for me.
What about the ludes?
100% true, I've read both books and I'd highly recommend them if you liked the movie, so many things and events not being shown in the movie is present in the books and they're way more personal too.
name of the song at the begining
Just to clarify he said the midget throwing wasn't true because of the interviewer's negative thoughts on it, in another interview he said it was true
I also read one of his interviews where he says the midget throwing did happen except that he was not there. I guess this douchebag hasn't changed one bit.

The names (of everyone else) were definitely fictitious
The midget toss is huge in Austrailia and the midgets love it . They get paid big bucks and it's all safe they land on soft foam and it is just wonderful fun
Tommy chong told him to write a book about his life while they shared a cell.
Miramax use scrying mirrors to get the stories... shame they didn’t understand what they were watching... fact... Kind Regards...
Sure sure Jordan. Gotcha 😉
He cann't say every thing is fiction,but he can alter the most extreme and say that it wasn't that bad.

What's the real books name?
i wanna read it so bad
Says she was disturbed by the throwing of the little guy and then proceeds to call him a mini human being wtf
Hate to say it but I absolutely love him
Don't condone tossing little people? If the "little person" agrees to it... than whats the problem? NOW if they DIDN'T agree that's a problem.
He talks similarly to kripke in big bang theory
Nice hair piece Jordan.
this guy is a hero among villans
I assuming the plane crash in the movie where he claims three people died was false?
No that was true
Hahaha someone finally responded to me. Thank you :) Geeeeees wow.
And no he didn't throw the midgets personally but he talked about and gave it approval and he WAS still very well running the firm
My buddy worked down the street from Jordan at the time. His colleagues tool part in midget tossing lol
anybody else dissapointed by the fact that leo isnt the real wolf
I kinda love Jordan though.
The only real fact about that movie is that this guy is a real badass 😂
Was his dad really mad max ?
Damn this guy is using the same methode for selling. But this time he makes believe to profesionals that they going to be rich listening to him. He is really smart in fact.
@ 2:12……. Lovely !!
He definitely tossed the little people.
Did this guy ever pay back ALL the people he screwed ALL their money? If not, how's he afford a home in Malibu? Justice in America? The jury is out.
+omegapointil i always wondered about that as they completely ignore this point in the movie....cause in essence he stole money from people by lying to them.
one million?
"Mini human beings" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I don’t know ehy they added anything that wasn’t. The guy did enough f up things for the movie in real life...
