10 actors who dropped the most swear words in films revealed
A new study has revealed the stars with the foulest mouths on screen
A new study has revealed the ten Hollywood stars who have used the most swear words on film.
Website Buzz Bingo analysed over 3,500 film scripts to discern which movies and actors boast the foulest mouths, with The Wolf of Wall Street containing more swear words than any other movie studied.
Jonah Hill, who starred in bawdy teen comedy Superbad before being cast alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street, tops the list.
Other A-listers prone to particularly bad language include Samuel L Jackson, Denzel Washington and Al Pacino.
None of the top 10 most foul-mouthed actors are women. For the sake of the study, a swear word was defined by Ofcom’s “attitudes to potentially offensive language and gestures on TV and radio” report.
You can see the full top 10 list below, along with the total number of swear words uttered:
1. Jonah Hill – 376
2. Leonardo DiCaprio – 361
3. Samuel L Jackson – 301
4. Adam Sandler – 295
5. Al Pacino – 255
6. Denzel Washington – 183
7. Billy Bob Thornton – 145
8. Seth Rogen – 143
9. Bradley Cooper – 142
10. Danny McBride – 136
