Did Leonardo DiCaprio accidentally cut his hand and smear blood to Kerry Washington's face in Django Unchained?
In Django Unchained there is a scene where Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) cut his hand and then smeared the blood on Broomhilda's (Kerry Washington) face.
Did DiCaprio really accidentally cut his own hand there or was that part of the script and done with effects? There is a cut between these two events, which leads me to believe it was not an accident.
Best Answer
All sources claim that DiCaprio really cut his hand so it seems to be true and there is no reason to think otherwise.
Here's a video with Christoph Waltz talking about that incident.
