Leonardo DiCaprio’s ‘completely disgusting’ experience

The interview report stated that the native American actor, Arthur RedCloud, was eating raw bison flesh the entire day during rehearsal. And, later when the makers gave Leonardo a red gelatinous sort of pancake to eat, it did not look real to him.
