In an interview with [_Esquire UK_](http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/longform/a11841/tom-hardy-interview/), Hardy revealed that he’ll be getting an unfortunate tattoo in the near future, thanks to a good old-fashioned wager with DiCaprio, where _The Revenant_ actor bet that the [_Mad Max_ star](http://time.com/3770331/tom-hardy-mad-max-fury-road-movie-george-miller/) would score an Oscar nomination for his role as John Fitzgerald, the sinister frontiersman who leaves Leo’s character to die in [_The Revenant_](http://time.com/4171001/revenant-1939-true-story/)_._ Hardy took the bet, raising the stakes to a tattoo of the winner’s choosing. When awards season rolled around, Hardy nabbed the Oscar nomination, which means he’ll now be getting a tattoo that’s custom-designed by Leo and, as Hardy describes it, is far from ideal. “He wrote, in this really sh-tty handwriting: ‘Leo knows everything,'” Hardy said. “Ha! I was like, ‘OK, I’ll get it done, but you have to write it properly.'” For now, however, Hardy is resisting for as long as he can. “I haven’t got it yet,” he said. “Because it sucks.” \[[_Esquire UK_](http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/longform/a11841/tom-hardy-interview/)\] Leonardo DiCaprio Makes Tom Hardy Get a Tattoo After Bet ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4590303/leonardo-dicaprio-tom-hardy-tattoo-bet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4590303/leonardo-dicaprio-tom-hardy-tattoo-bet/"},"headline":"Leonardo DiCaprio Is Making Tom Hardy Get a Bad Tattoo in the Ultimate Bro Move","datePublished":"2016-12-05T16:29:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:39:10.253Z","description":"Hardy lost a bet to the Oscar winner","url":"https://time.com/4590303/leonardo-dicaprio-tom-hardy-tattoo-bet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Leonardo DiCaprio","celebrity","tattoos","Culture","Tom Hardy"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9c92b3b490e0f5a4/6988b0aa428a9e44f5cd52e9/tom-hardy-leonardo-dicaprio-tattoo.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9c92b3b490e0f5a4/6988b0aa428a9e44f5cd52e9/tom-hardy-leonardo-dicaprio-tattoo.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Premiere Of 20th Century Fox And Regency Enterprises' \"The Revenant\" - Red Carpet","caption":"Premiere Of 20th Century Fox And Regency Enterprises' \"The Revenant\" - Red Carpet","creditText":"Frazer Harrison—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4590303/leonardo-dicaprio-tom-hardy-tattoo-bet/","name":"Leonardo DiCaprio Is Making Tom Hardy Get a Bad Tattoo in the Ultimate Bro Move"}}]}] ```
