Belfort also explains that although his private jet also crashed, it was 10 days after the yacht sunk, not at the same time, as it was depicted in the film for dramatic effect. In the film, the waves knock the helicopter off of the yacht. In an interview with The Room Live, Belfort explained how the group waiting to be rescued had to push the helicopter off of the boat to make room for a rescue team to lower down onto the yacht.
Chanel is quoted as saying, "As soon as you set foot on a yacht, you belong to some man, not to yourself, and you die of boredom." Rather than avoid luxury yachts all together, Chanel made the boss move of buying her own in 1961, naming her the Matilda (per Boss Hunting).Īs bizarre as this interlude of the film was, it actually happened, with one major difference. Chanel is known for her outspoken nature and is associated with quite a few fiercely female quotes. Belfort's vintage yacht once belonged to none other than the famous French fashion designer Coco Chanel. What the film doesn't tell you is that Belfort's yacht had an interesting past. We can't help wondering if Nancy ever regrets introducing her ex-husband to Belfort. They are now divorced, and he lives in Florida with his second wife. I saw him morph from a nice wholesome guy into showy narcissist whom I hardly recognized anymore." After being arrested for securities fraud, Porush left Nancy for another woman. In the New York Post article, Nancy detailed how her husband changed once he began working with Belfort and making serious cash, saying, "Up until then, Danny never seemed to care about money.

After just one conversation, Danny came back and announced he was taking the Series 7 exam to get his stockbroker's license."
His name was Jordan Belfort, and he worked in finance. There was a nice boy from our building on the same bus who always gave up his seat for me. Nancy explained how she took the same bus into the city for work as Belfort, saying, "the commute to the city each day was hard because I became pregnant right away. Porush and Nancy lived in the same building in Queens where Belfort lived with his first wife Denise, as Nancy told Doree Lewak with The New York Post in 2013 shortly before "The Wolf of Wall Street" came out. Every single thing in his memoir, every insane coincidence and over-the-top perk, it all happened.'" But then I did some research, and I talked to the FBI agent who arrested him, who had been tracking Jordan for ten years. Winter added, "I assumed he must've been embellishing. That's very much by design."ĭespite how unlikely this story is, most of what transpires in the film actually happened. You are being sold the Jordan Belfort story by Jordan Belfort, and he is a very unreliable narrator. Screenwriter Terence Winter told Esquire, "Jordan is talking directly to you.
This was a strategic choice by the screenwriter and director. In the film, Belfort breaks the fourth wall, addressing the camera and the audience directly. Scorsese obviously recognized Belfort is an unreliable narrator with a penchant for exaggeration. Despite being ostensibly based on a true story, many question the veracity of the film because of how absolutely outlandishness of Belfort's claims, and how outrageous the antics at Stratton Oakmont are.
