Tom Hardy co-starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant. Strong acting portrayals by Hardy and DiCaprio helped The Revenant secure 12 nominations for the Academy Awards. DiCaprio won his first Oscar in the Best Actor category, while Hardy fell short, losing Best Supporting Actor to Mark Rylance for his role in Bridge of Spies. However, Hardy receiving an Oscar nomination for his portrayal in The Revenant still held meaning.
The actor recently told Esquire that he had a wager with DiCaprio regarding a possible Academy Award nomination. According to Hardy, DiCaprio was incredibly sure he?d get the nomination, though Hardy wasn?t convinced; he bet a tattoo of the winner?s choice that Hardy wouldn?t receive a nomination for The Revenant. While Hardy may have won the Oscar nomination recognizing his work, he lost the bet and will need to get a tattoo designed by DiCaprio.
