Tom Hardy Lost An Oscar Bet To Leonardo DiCaprio & Had To Get A 'Leo Knows All' Tattoo

Leonardo DiCaprio is a great actor, one of the best of our time, but did you know that he is also a tattoo artist? But, he only reserves his talent for his superstar BFFs when they lose a bet to him. And, the loser, or shall I say winner, to get a tattoo in Leo's handwriting tattooed on his arm forever, is Tom Hardy. Looks like Tom finally honoured a bet he made with Leo two years ago by getting 'Leo Knows All' inked onto his bicep for the rest of eternity because, well, Leo does know everything. And, the bet involved Oscars, because Leo just can't escape Oscars. But, for a change, it did not involve him winning or being nominated for the prestigious award, and it was all about Tom Hardy and his incredible performance in 'The Revenant'. © Twitter The story of the bet, and the tattoo, is actually quite interesting, and does give some #BFFGoals. It all started when 'The Revenant' stars made a wager around the 2016 Oscar nominations. Tom believed that he would not get a nomination, but Leo, being the good friend that he is, was so sure that Tom would get his well-deserved nomination that they made a gentleman's wager: if Hardy was nominated, he would have to get a tattoo of DiCaprio's choice, and vice versa. And, obviously Tom was nominated for an Academy Awards for his portrayal of sinister trapper John Fitzgerald, and Leo got the chance to design a tattoo for him. “He wrote, in this really shitty handwriting: 'Leo knows everything,'” Hardy told Esquire in 2016. “Ha! I was like, 'O.K., I'll get it done, but you have to write it properly.'” © Twitter After two long years, he finally came through! Looks like Tom is a man of his word and honoured the bet by getting inked recently. He had the option to get the tattoo anywhere, but he's Tom Hardy and doesn't shy away from everything, so he ended up getting it on his bicep for the world to see. But, if I had the honour to get a tattoo in Leonardo DiCaprio's handwriting, then I would show it off also. The tattoo was caught by a photographer in San Francisco and was posted on Instagram Sunday. Captured a couple Pictures for @tomhardy today. Fingers crossed ð¤ð¼ he posts them.

While talking to Vanity Fair ( http://ift.tt/2ErtRev )last year, he joked “F****r, he would never get a tattoo if he lost that bet! It was just one-way. I'm covered in shit tattoos anyway, so it doesn't make any difference to me. If I got a big bold 'Leo' right across my thigh or across my face. It's just that, isn't it? You bet a tattoo, you lose. That's what happens.” The tattoo was spotted one more time. Tom Hardy took a photo with fans recently and we were able to see the tattoo he made because he lost a bet to Leonardo. In the tattoo there is written “Leo knows all” and, according to Tom, it's Leo's handwriting. pic.twitter.com/eBKiEE99sP — Leonardo DiCaprio Fan (@dicapriofans) January 29, 2018 Well, it wouldn't have been that hard since Tom is certainly no stranger to getting inked as he already has a number of tattoos – which include one of the London skyline, his wife's name, a dragon, and a Buddha with an AK47. And, now he has a new tattoo with the coolest story to add to the long list of tattoos. But, also let's all just appreciate the bromance.
