Back in 2016, Tom Hardy made an unusual promise.

He bet his Revenant co-star Leonardo DiCaprio that he wouldn't win an Oscar for the film, and promised that if he did he'd get a tattoo of DiCaprio's choosing.

Well, we all know how that one ended -- and judging by a recent photo of Hardy shared on Instagram, it seems he's finally kept his word.

So, some context.

Back in December 2016, Hardy explained the details of the bet in an interview with Esquire. He said that Leo had chosen what he wanted Hardy to get: a simple statement.

"He wrote, in this really shitty handwriting, 'Leo knows everything,'" explained Hardy. "I was like, 'Okay, I'll get it done, but you have to write it properly.'"

From the looks of that tattoo, he eventually settled on "Leo knows all".
