Diamond Donnie Azoff Tee (version 2)
Donnie Azoff: How's being sober?
Jordan Belfort: It fuckin' sucks.
Donnie Azoff is a fictional character portrayed by Jonah Hill in the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street, directed by Martin Scorsese. He is depicted as the eccentric and morally questionable business partner of Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Donnie is characterized by his brash behavior, excessive lifestyle, and willingness to engage in fraudulent activities as part of the stock market schemes central to the story.
Who Is He Based On?
Donnie Azoff is based on Danny Porush, a real-life stockbroker who was a key figure in Jordan Belfort's Stratton Oakmont firm. Porush worked closely with Belfort during the 1990s in running the infamous pump-and-dump schemes that defrauded investors of millions of dollars.
Differences Between Donnie Azoff and Danny Porush:
While the character is inspired by Porush, the film takes creative liberties, and some aspects of Donnie's portrayal are fictionalized or exaggerated for dramatic and comedic effect:
-
Name Change: The name "Donnie Azoff" was used instead of Danny Porush, likely to provide a layer of separation between the character and the real individual.
-
Eccentricities: Some of Donnie's outrageous behaviors, such as certain drug-fueled antics and wild personal habits, may be dramatized or fictionalized for the movie.
-
Response to the Film: Porush has publicly denied some of the events depicted in the film, claiming that certain actions attributed to Donnie Azoff never happened.
Despite these differences, the character captures the essence of the excess, corruption, and recklessness that characterized the Stratton Oakmont culture.
