Leonardo DiCaprio clearly had more faith in Tom Hardy’s performance in ‘The Revenant’ than the Brit actor himself.

And while that’s all very flattering, it means that Hardy lost a bet.

The ‘Mad Max’ star told Esquire that DiCaprio bet him that he would bag himself and Oscar nomination for his role as grizzled trapper John Fitzgerald.

Thinking this was an unlikely eventuality, Hardy agreed to the wager – the stake? A tattoo, custom-designed by DiCaprio. But then he got the nod for Best Supporting Actor.

Sadly, it’s not a cool one, like an anchor or a topless mermaid.

“He wrote, in this really sh*tty handwriting: ‘Leo knows everything’,” Hardy revealed. “Ha! I was like, ‘OK, I’ll get it done, but you have to write it properly’.”

Thus far, Hardy has managed to put DiCaprio off, but that tatt is most certainly in the post.

“I haven’t got it yet,” he said. “Because it sucks.”

Indeed it does, Tom. Indeed it does.
