Leonardo DiCaprio had brought two rescue Huskies on the shoot. As reported, Don’t Look Up director Adam McKay and Jonah Hill found them to be very intense and problematic. “The funniest thing was, Leo has these two rescue huskies that are just absolute tornadoes,” said McKay. “Jonah would send me pictures of your ripped-apart couch.”
During the shoot, one of the dogs fell into a frozen lake, and DiCaprio immediately rushed in to save him. But once he got the dog out, “the other one jumped in” and eventually they were all at one point, in the lake. “One of the dogs fell in,” said Jennifer Lawrence, “and he jumped in the frozen lake to save the dog, and as soon as he pushed the one dog out of the pond, the other one jumped in.”
“The other one started licking the one that was drowning, and then we all were in the frozen lake together,” said Leonardo DiCaprio. Other than Leo, Jonah Hill and Jennifer Lawrence, Don’t Look Up stars Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Chris Evans, and many more actors.
