But.... Why? The only role I can remember him ever being decent in was fight club and American psycho, and that's mainly because it was enjoyable to watch Jared Leto get his shit rocked. Every movie I can think of that he's been in a lead role has bombed.
Suicide squad? Giant turd Morbius? So bad it became a meme Tron? Apparently awful, I'm not gonna watch it 30 seconds to mars? First album was okay, maybe the rest of their music would be better if he'd stop trying to fuck 15 year olds backstage.
Gird your loins and try "Requiem for a Dream". It's a phenomenal heartbreak of a movie and I genuinely think Leto was fantastic in it. It's a flick I think everyone oughta watch at least once.
Apart from that? No clue where anyone got the idea he was a "franchise-leading man". Or an A-Lister, for that matter.
Why not follow that up with Dancer In The Dark, too? 🤌🏼
I've not heard of that one, but Björk plays the lead? I'm in.
Um... 😅😀😶🌫️
He is excellent in Dallas Buyers Club
He was good in House of Guuci. I think he should stick to minor roles or tertiary characters.
