Entrepreneur Alan Wilzig is taking the credit for introducing “Wolf of Wall Street” Jordan Belfort to his second wife, Nadine, played by Margot Robbie in the Martin Scorsese movie.
But Wilzig, a race car driver and former president of the Trust Company of New Jersey, owned by his father, Siggi Wilzig, said he wasn’t happy with the nerdy portrayal of himself in the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Alan — the brother of the eccentric party-loving “Sir” Ivan Wilzig — wrote on Facebook: “So, 20-odd years ago while ‘The Wolf’ was still growing his fangs — I had my first post-college relationship. We lived together over a year and it was nice and then went on and off which was anything but nice . . . So at the end of year 2, as friendly-exes I took Nadine to Jordan Belfort’s July 4th Westhampton Beach House party where the two of them met. The final 6 mos [sic] of the ROARING ’80’s, literally & figuratively. He left his high school sweetheart wife to marry her; and the rest you can see in the movie. They fictionalized my brief cameo in this story by making me super-dork. My friend who makes films saw a preview . . . and told me they emphatically do NOT show me bringing her to the party in my Red Ferrari Testarossa that I was driving then (she was out to dinner in HIS white TR the next night). And of all things — ‘Leo as Jordan’ mocks the ‘me’ guy by saying ‘What? You’ve never taken this girl for a ride on a JET SKI?’ (I told you it was fictionalized).”
Multimillionaire Wilzig, a co-owner of bistro Kutsher’s Tribeca who famously built a private racetrack in his front yard in Taghkanic, NY, married Karin Koenig in 2003.
