Jared Leto was born on December 26, 1971 in the American Bossier City. After his parents divorced him and his brother, Shannon, he was raised by his mother, who encouraged her sons to develop artistically. For most of his youth, the actor did not have a permanent place of residence. They often moved, sometimes with the interior of the truck as the only roof over their heads. Eventually, after his mother’s second wedding, they moved permanently to Virginia, and Jared turned to painting, which he had for his future. He initially studied in Pennsylvania at the University of Arts, but quickly abandoned this path, stating that he was not talented enough. So he moved to New York, where he studied at the School of Visual Arts. There he seriously took up his film career. After graduating from school, he moved to Los Angeles,My So-Called Life .
His career quickly gained momentum and soon we could see him in productions such as Skrawki Życia or Last such summer . As his career progressed, Leto began to rebel against Hollywood. He rejected many of the roles offered to him, refused to attend parties. He likes to play controversial, expressive roles, engaging in his characters one hundred percent. There are many stories about his behavior on the set of the Suicide Squad,in which he played the Joker. It is rumored that Margot Robbie (in the movie Harley Quinn) dropped a rat and left a dead pig on the set for co-workers. His behavior was criticized by fans who did not like the actor’s “star character”. He also came into conflict with the studio that refused to agree to his own Joker movie. Jared Leto’s character is certainly one of the most peculiar. The actor himself admitted, speaking about his past, that he did not have time to study, because he was busy taking drugs. Even years later, he admits that some of them “were really very cool”. Together with his brother, he also founded one of the most popular rock bands – 30 Seconds to Mars, thus emphasizing his image as a teenager idol at the time.
On the big screen, we could also see him in films such as Streets of Fear , where he played Paul Gardener, Requiem for a Dream , in which he played the role of Harry Goldfarb, and American Psycho , where he appeared as Paul Allen. He also appeared in Azyl , in the role of Junior and Alexander . He then played Hephaestion. He also gained fame thanks to his participation in the film Mr. Nobody as the title character. His engagement in Blade Runner 2049 , playing the role of Niander Wallace, was also a success. He will return to the role of the Joker next year, starring in Zack’s Snyder Justice Leauge. He was awarded 12 statuettes for his acting achievements, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe, and received 6 other nominations.
