The new report that The Wrap refers to is an analysis from Buzz Bingo called "Profanity on Film," and documents how many swear words an actor uses across their collective filmography. Samuel L. Jackson did top the last, but has since been ousted into third place thanks to Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street."

Jackson has a total of 301 expletives used on film, while Jonah Hill is first with a record 376 — most of which came in Scorsese's biopic about Jordan Belfort. In second place is Hill's costar in that film, Belfort actor himself Leonardo DiCaprio. He is currently on 361.

Both Hill and DiCaprio were Oscar-nominated for their performances in "The Wolf of Wall Street," but Hill swore more than leading man DiCaprio, and trumped his costar and Jackson in another metric, too: how many swear words used per thousand words. Hill used an expletive 22.9 times for every thousand word spoken, whil Jackson managed only 6.9 per thousand.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" was also deemed the most profane movie of all time with over 700 curse words across its three hour run time. In second place is last year's "Uncut Gems" starring Adam Sandler, who charts just behind Jackson in the individual tally.

Hill received a flurry of support form celebrity friends on his Instagram post, with Adam Levine commenting: I'm so f------ proud of you baby boy. So f------ motherfucking proud. F--- yeah I'm proud. F---."

Seth Rogen commented "the dream," and Hill replied, suggesting: "we should make a last dance style doc of me exhausted getting to the final f---."
