We’ll never know quite everything about what happened on the set of [_The Revenant_ ](http://time.com/4226712/the-revenant-fur-trade-history/)between costars [Tom Hardy](http://time.com/5109908/tom-hardy-rap-mixtape/) and Leonardo DiCaprio; what happens in the [Canadian wilderness](http://time.com/4157304/the-revenant-movie-review/) stays in the frozen woods. But we do know that at one point Hardy [agreed to get a tattoo](http://time.com/4590303/leonardo-dicaprio-tom-hardy-tattoo-bet/) of Leo’s choosing — if he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in that year’s Oscars, which DiCaprio predicted would happen.

Fast forward to nomination season, and yes, Hardy did get a supporting actor nod for his work in the Alejandro González Iñárritu film. (As did DiCaprio for Best Actor. He ended up [taking home](http://time.com/4242472/leonardo-dicaprio-ellen-degeneres-twitter-oscar/) the golden statuette, while Hardy lost out to Mark Rylance in Cold War movie [_Bridge of Spies_](http://time.com/4062764/tom-hanks-steven-spielberg/).)

But it took Hardy a little bit longer to keep his end of the deal, even though DiCaprio did foretell the nomination accurately. Only now are we discovering that Hardy did, indeed, get permanent ink emblazoned on his skin to memorialize his bet with Leo. Originally, as Hardy had told [_Esquire UK_](http://time.com/4590303/leonardo-dicaprio-tom-hardy-tattoo-bet/) in an interview, the art design wasn’t particularly to his liking.

“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.’”

It now appears to read “Leo knows all” in simple, clear lettering, and is on Hardy’s right bicep, according to a recently-circulated [fan photo.](https://www.facebook.com/TomHardyMyObsession/photos/a.1401310236860819.1073741847.1398259163832593/2023743707950799/?type=3&theater) It joins his [extensive collection](https://www.instagram.com/p/BenhPbwnsN7/?tagged=tomhardy) of pre-existing body art.


## Transcript

We should not have people in office that do not believe in facts, in truths, in modern science that are able to manipulate and risk the entire future of this entire generation. So you know the more I've learned about this issue the more I've become. Terrified to tell you the truth. I'm doing a new documentary about methane. You've done so much work on oceans, the protection of our oceans, the health of our oceans, the fact that so much of this carbon is being absorbed [ INAUDIBLE ] the oceans. We're actually not even seeing on land the ramifications of the amount of carbon that we're emitting in the atmosphere.

Because, the oceans are absorbing so much of it. And they're at capacity now. So, I'm really scared. We're at that turning point right now. And we're gonna look back at this moment, In history and frankly this administration and certain people are gonna be vilified for not taking action. They really are. And it's up to this generation, it's up to all of you to really get involved and make a difference because as I said in the documentary, what I saw in my travels absolutely terrified me. It was terrifying. Being on this sort of campaign so to speak for global warming climate change, you realize the amazing inaction that this country has taken.

You go to anywhere else in the world, there is no argument about climate change. There is no argument. People accept it as a fact. This is the only country in the world where we have a political party that argues what is now basically scientific fact. I mean it's like arguing whether gravity exists or not. When President Trump says to the people of the United States, I'm pulling out of Paris. Because Paris places an undue burden on the United States of America. My friends, the President of the United States is not telling America the truth. That's just not true. It doesn't place any burden on the United States.

It only places what we agreed, as Americans, we are capable of doing. At our schedule, our desire within our limits of technology.
