Scandals Oscar Nominees Don't Want You To Know About

The actors nominated for an Academy Award may have given some of the most popular performances of the year, but many of them are still reeling from scandals that once threatened to plague their careers forever. From restraining orders, to nude photo scandals and nervous breakdowns, check out the scandals these nominees don't want you to know about.

Way back in 2008, Tom Hardy (The Revenant) gave an interview to the British gay magazine, Attitude, during which he revealed that he had experimented with men when he was younger. "As a boy? Of course I have," he said. "I'm an actor for f***'s sake. I'm an artist. I've played with everything and everyone." Hardy—who admitted in the same interview that he is "not into men, sexually" and "done experimenting"—was forced to clarify his comments three years later (or, you know, when he became a star) in an interview with Marie Claire U.K., during which he claimed the comments had been taken out of context. Hardy further shot down questions about his sexuality when a reporter brought the subject up at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. "I'm confident in my own sexuality, and I'm also confident in my own being and talking about any issue you want to talk about it. But there is a time and a place for that," Hardy later told Entertainment Weekly about why he so aggressively shut that reporter down.

Bryan Cranston (Trumbo) may take the cake for his brief encounter with a Dutch prostitute. "We went to Europe for a month," Cranston told host James Lipton on a 2015 episode of Inside the Actors Studio. "It cost us, like, seven or eight hundred dollars, if you don't include the prostitutes." Cranston went on to reveal that two of the friends he was traveling with wanted to go to the Red Light district in Amsterdam. Cranston ultimately tagged along because he was too scared to admit he was a virgin. It was there in which he met a prostitute eager to make cash, even though Cranston was resistant to her advances and barely had any money. "She takes [the money], grabs my hand and pulls me into a room," he recalled. "It was awful—and wonderful." Sounds about right.

While Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant) was celebrating his Oscar nomination for The Wolf of Wall Street in 2014, his stepbrother, Adam Farrar, was getting booked on multiple drug-related charges, including misdemeanor counts of possession of a dangerous drug, theft, and harassment by phone. According to PEOPLE, Farrar was arrested on January 24, while trying to visit his girlfriend, Charity Moore, in prison. Once Farrar showed up to the prison, everything fell apart; police quickly became aware that warrants had been issued for Farrar's arrest in Los Angeles stemming from a previous drug arrest. At the time, it was reported that Farrar and Moore's six-year-old daughter, Normandie, had been listed as missing and "abducted." A few days later, it was revealed that Normandie was safe and being taken care by DiCaprio and Farrar's father, George.
