That Jared Leto has us used to introducing ourselves to the most extravagant and atypical characters is well known. As also the methods he uses to get into them, controversial at times, but which demonstrate the laborious immersion exercise he always does in his work. That is why he stands out as one of the best known “method actors”. At the end of January, his next film, ‘Small details’ by John Lee Hancock, arrives in Spain, where he plays a serial killer, which is why he was asked in a podast to Variety about this reputation you have.
“I appreciate the term although I think the definition is a bit muddled … And it could also be very pretentious”, the actor first said about a common methodology among many interpreters of his generation, and especially popular in the American actor: the weight he gained to play the murderer of John Lennon in ‘The murder of John Lennon’ led him to have gout, in ‘Suicide Squad’ he gave his co-stars curious gifts such as rats or bullets, and he lived like a homeless to prepare the character of ‘Requiem for a dream’. These are just some of those more than curious preparations that support it.
A term that, as it says, can be vague, confusing and pretentious. But many believe that the actor, with his resume, has earned it in every rule, as it has led to its most genuine conception: “I was thinking that my job is to show up and do the best job I can. It’s my job to show up, do what I can, be prepared, more than prepared, and deliver “, sentenced an actor accustomed to giving up his entire physique to create his characters. In short, a total method actor.
And continuing with these rare explorations of his characters, the actor, winner of the Oscar, wanted to compare the character of Albert Sparma, who plays in ‘Small details’, with his Joker from ‘Suicide Squad’: “There are a few, very few characters you play who have absolutely no rules. (…) Sparma reminds me a bit of that character is also a bit out of the box. He’s someone who says everything he thinks, basically. And it is always surprising. Is very playful. And I also found it quite funny“.
Will he repeat as Joker?
It is logical that when the name of the Gotham villain whom Leto gave life came out, he would be asked if he will repeat with the character at some point. More than a film dedicated to him, with which he has been speculating for a long time, rumors now place him in the special cut of ‘Justice League’ that Zack Snyder prepares with ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’.
Since THR It was stated in October that the actor would appear in the new montage after not having appeared in the 2017 film, the rumors were further fueled. In this regard, Leto has not been blunt on the matter: “I may or may not be in this; I’ve also heard the rumors. We will have to let Zack confirm or deny that. I may or may not have filmed something with Zack.”he said without wanting to get wet. It seems that we will have to wait until we see the premiere of the special montage that would arrive on HBO Max in March.
