In the film, DiCaprio’s actor character has to wear a ridiculous Western-style mustache, and since the movie takes place in 1969, the mustache has the added non-benefit of being a ridiculous Western-style mustache as envisioned by hair and makeup people in the 1960s, an era full of very silly facial hair and much less realistic makeup tools. This makes the mustache extra silly, and not particularly comfortable for an actor to wear. So reports The Hollywood Reporter, per an interview with DiCaprio’s personal makeup artist, Sian Grigg:
“The mustache drove Leo mad, because I had to leave it really long and it always went in his mouth,” says Grigg, who used WM Creations glue to keep the piece on the skin. “It was so hot out and the mustache kept going in his mouth, and he’d be spitting it out. He did the same thing in the scene as they filmed ‘off camera’ when he was supposed to be losing it a bit. It made us laugh as he kept spitting it out and the wig was quite long as well.”
Poor Leo. All that, and he doesn’t even need an Oscar. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Allegedly, she fell asleep:
I too frequently miss plans because I “fell asleep,” i.e., decided I’d prefer to watch twelve hours of Outlander than spend twelve minutes with whomever I deigned to make plans for. Take that information for what it’s worth, Zoey 101 cast members. [People]
