Jack Nicholson pulled a real gun on co-star Leonardo as they made a movie.
The pair was filming a scene for the 2006 crime thriller 'The Departed.'
The veteran actor suddenly whipped out a real pistol to everyone's surprise.
And director Martin Scorsese says he still gets a fright when he thinks about it , according to a new book.
Scorsese said , "The first thing Jack did was sniff the glass and say , "I smell a rat."
And then he pulled the gun on DiCaprio , Jack didn't tell me he had a gun , it was great . We took a lot out , but Leo's reaction is real time . 'I still get the chills' .
Scorsese, 68, told author Richard Schickel fot the new book , "Conversations with Scorsese : 'It's So Real To Me ."
DiCaprio played undercover State Trooper Billy Costigan in the flick who is sent to penetrate the Boston Mafia , headed up by Nicholson's character , Frank Costello.
My spin : Just like old Jack to pull a prank like that.... what a 'Joker.' Now I wonder if the filming was delayed while DiCaprio took a shower before resuming filming .[giggles]
