After starring together in the brutal wilderness epic, <i>The Revenant<\/i> (2015), DiCaprio was so confident in his co-star&#8217;s performance that he laid down a high-stakes bet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>The Bet: Oscar Nod or Permanent Ink<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The wager was struck after filming wrapped on the grueling film, directed by Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu. DiCaprio, who played the lead role of Hugh Glass, predicted that Hardy would receive a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 88th Academy Awards for his turn as the sinister frontiersman John S. Fitzgerald. Hardy, ever the skeptic, took the bet. The terms were simple: if Hardy lost the bet\u2014meaning he <b>did<\/b> receive the nomination\u2014he would have to get a tattoo designed by DiCaprio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The result proved DiCaprio\u2019s prophetic ability. Tom Hardy was indeed nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The win ultimately went to Mark Rylance for <i>Bridge of Spies<\/i>, but the nomination alone was enough to seal Hardy\u2019s fate. Adding insult to injury, DiCaprio went on to win his first-ever Oscar for Best Actor for his role in the same film. DiCaprio chuckled gleefully as he claimed his prize, forcing his friend to pay the price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>The Design: &#8220;Leo Knows Everything&#8221;<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Hardy later revealed in an interview with <i>Esquire<\/i> the hilarious, unprofessional design that DiCaprio forced upon him. \u201cHe wrote, in this really sh\u2014ty handwriting: \u2018Leo knows everything.\u2019 Ha! I was like, \u2018OK, I\u2019ll get it done, but you have to write it properly.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Despite the playful resistance and a two-year delay, Hardy is a man of his word. He eventually got the words permanently inked on his right bicep, settling on the slightly cleaner, abbreviated version, &#8220;<b>LEO KNOWS ALL<\/b>.&#8221; The tattoo, which has since been spotted in fan photos, stands as a permanent tribute to DiCaprio\u2019s winning prediction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Hardy\u2019s resigned yet affectionate reaction to the &#8220;ugly words,&#8221; stating, &#8220;I&#8217;m covered in sh*t tattoos anyway, so it doesn&#8217;t make any difference to me,&#8221; delighted fans. It perfectly captured the essence of their close bond\u2014a bond built on competition, professional respect, and the ability to ruthlessly prank each other. For fans, the tattoo serves as a public mark of a private, hilariously brutal friendship.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The famously private, yet intensely loyal, friendship between Hollywood heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy has been immortalized in the most painful\u2014and hilarious\u2014way possible: a permanent tattoo that serves as a constant reminder of DiCaprio\u2019s prophetic insight.
