Leonardo DiCaprio braved the cold as he stepped out with Tom Hardy for the UK premiere of The Revenant.

DiCaprio, 41 – who spent months filming in freezing temperatures for his role as Hugh Glass in the Alejandro González Iñárritu directed film – told Edith Bowman that he was struggling to get used to being back in the cold.

The actor looked dapper in a white shirt and patterned tie which he teamed with a large black overcoat and leather gloves as he arrived to hundreds of screaming fans who lined the red carpet outside the Empire cinema in London’s Leicester Square.

Speaking to Bowman about his co-star Hardy, he revealed that he fought to get the Legend actor to star in the film.

“I aggressively fought for him and I’m glad that he signed on,” he said. “He’s my boy.”

It is the second time DiCaprio and Hardy have co-starred in a film, after 2010's Inception.

DiCaprio was also joined by Domhnall Gleeson, Lukas Haas, Iñárritu and Will Poulter – who blew kisses to his adoring fans.

Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams – who looked stunning in a black two piece – Sir John Hurt and Noomi Rapace were also in attendance.

The Revenant received 12 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Hardy and Best Actor for DiCaprio, at the Oscar nominations announcement on Thursday morning.

If DiCaprio wins it will mark his first Academy Award.

The Revenant is set for UK cinema release on January 15.
