As Lawrence, he wears his grandpa's gunbelt on the show.

I was talking to both J.J. and Jonathan Nolan, and I mentioned that I had my grandfather’s gun belt from Rio Bravo, and they all looked at me. I asked if I’d be able to wear it and they wanted to know what kind of condition it was in, because they had designed a really beautiful belt for me that I was in love with, too. But when they saw my grandfather’s belt, they said, “Oh no, you’re wearing grandpa’s belt.” It’s something magical. It’s sentimental. When I put on grandpa’s gun belt, I feel like I’m badass.
