Leonardo DiCaprio was protective of costar Meryl Streep while making Don't Look Up, director Adam McKay recalled.

In an interview with The Guardian, McKay, 53, discussed Streep's role as President Orlean in the star-studded Netflix film, which also stars Jennifer Lawrence, Jonah Hill, Timothée Chalamet, Tyler Perry, Cate Blanchett, Ariana Grande and more. The filmmaker explained that Streep, 72, was all-in on her character's brief nude scene, though DiCaprio, 47, was unsure.
