Brad Pitt was one of the most talked about stars at this years SAG Awards. But in-between his moment backstage with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston and joking about his Tinder profile on-stage, he also revealed the unusual nickname that his co-star Leonardo DiCaprio gave him.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly on the red carpet, Pitt explained, "'Lover.' He calls me 'lover'." As for how he acquired that particular nickname, Pitt said, "It’s a bit confusing, but I roll with it."

And when it comes to working with his Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood co-star, Pitt said, "You’ll find, with most of the guys, I would say we’re all pretty much rooting for each other, we all have respect for each other, we all have a good laugh with each other. And it plays. And it’s pretty easy."

Pitt and DiCaprio sat next to one another inside the SAG Awards, and their mutual appreciation of each other was evident.

The Ad Astra star took home the Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role award for his part in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. During his hilarious speech, Pitt said, "Let’s be honest, it was a difficult part—a guy who gets high, takes his shirt off, and doesn’t get on with his wife. It was a big stretch."
