Robert Alonzo, the stunt coordinator for the film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", recently disclosed that Leonardo DiCaprio was a little freaked out about using a flamethrower, and about turning it on the other actors on set.

DiCaprio was worried about hurting someone, Alonzo explained during an interview with Huffington Post.

Alonzo said he "has a lot of experience with fire-burning", having worked as a stunt coordinator for 23 years. He tried to ease DiCaprio's fears by setting himself ablaze first. Alonzo wanted to show DiCaprio that no one would be harmed by the flamethrower.
