It’s also known as one of the most complex and puzzling movies of its time.

Before the release of Tenet in 2020, it was generally considered to be Christopher Nolan’s most confusing film.

The internet is rife with articles and Reddit threads breaking down the intricacies of the plot, discussing whether or not the film is as confusing as people say.

Well, it turns out, it’s not just viewers that were left puzzled by Inception – in a recent interview with us, Tom Hardy admitted that he “didn’t understand it.”

Speaking to BuzzFeed UK, Tom, who played Eames in the film, admitted, “I didn’t know it was about money.”

He revealed that when he got the script and before receiving guidance from Christopher Nolan, he was confused; “It’s impenetrable, even years later. So sorry Chris,” he joked.
