How does this man still have a career, we've known he is a predator for so long. Like decades at least.
And he is shit at acting.
More importantly, he's box office poison.
Which really does lend credibility to the idea that he either has some Epstein-style blackmail on some influential people in Hollywood and/or he's still providing them with unsavory, or illegal, experiences.
He's rich. He produced tron so he got to say he was the lead in it. Rich people suck.
Yea something is up.
He’s got to be one of them that traffics or supplies women to the rest.
This is the genuinely such an agonizing flip side to it like if we are gonna employ a sex criminal at least get an actor who isnt total ass and ruins every movie he is in. Dude is allergic to emotion, wooden, and sucks to work with. It makes no sense. There are so many pervs in hollywood I know at least one of them has to be able to act better than this asshole
He peaked as Jordan Catalano in My So-Called Life, an intellectually stunted, emotionally empty symbol of naive adolescent desire. For some reason, he was really able to sink into that role.
I think he's a repulsive person, but in my opinion he's been electric in several roles, like Requiem and Panic Room.
His performance, if you can even stand degrading other actors and actresses by using the term with his name attached to it, in Bladerunner 2049 was a look inside his brain. That was Jared in 2049, not some tech overlord he was pretending to be.
You're confused on why a sexual predator is still working in an industry famously run by sexual predators?
And spearheaded in a country that famously keeps and defends sexual predators in positions of power?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the USA was a mistake
Well, I'd hazard an alternative: I believe what the settlers did -- after the murderers cleared the American population out of their new home -- standing up and challenging the leadership, even, if necessary, forming a cohesive army of rebels to violently fight for rights they deemed at the time absolutely vital and worth such a barbaric and last-resort act as killing for, is something I appreciate. The mistake was her people letting the leadership bring the country down quicker than any grieving Middle-Eastern victim turned international activist.
Quote of the last twenty years of several countries: We Need Another Revolution.
Ha! That's rich. Americans are too lazy and self entitled to have an actual revolution. Half would spiral into existential crisis if the lights went out, and the other half would be politicizing why the lights were on in the first place.
The /mistake/ appears to have been Jefferson/Madison not lining the God-botherers up against a wall and shooting them when they had a chance.
Like most predators. Everyone knows for decades and hardly anyone does anything about it. The ones who speak up are called sluts, liars, clout-seekers, attention whores, etc.
I feel like this is why we keep seeing him in movies despite the fact he's box office kryptonite.
He's somebody's favorite sex pest.
You know why.
Usually they get excused if they're talented. This dude isn't even a great actor
Pretty privilege, money, or both?
He is a fucking terrible actor so I refuse to believe it's talent
It’s our rape culture.
Ask Hollywood why they cover for perverts
Dude, we all a little perverted if we're honest. Don't throw us honest perverts under the bus with creeps like him
With him and Russell Brand looking so much alike, I can't help but feel that the look is a giveaway sign.
You mean to tell me that the creepy weirdo that seems to run a sex cult with himself as the object of worship is a sex pest‽ That seems unlikely! (/s)
It's always the people you most expect
Good interrobang usage‽ Hell yeah
"Interrobang".
brings me back to the days of... The Inter-Web...
Right?? I'm shocked of this news from the guy who may or may not have sent used condoms to his Suicide Squad co-stars in the pursuit of "method acting"
So he’s a sexual predator and all his movies flop? Quick, cast him as a lead role in our next movie with a $250 million budget!
It's always the people you most expect.
Hopefully they stop putting this rapist in movies.
Someone once commented that "30 seconds to Mars was Jared Leto's excuse to get closer to teenage girls"
The next article will be about how he’s rebranding himself as a born-again Christian.
He already thinks he is Jesus.
There's a pretty solid chance that Trump, self proclaimed God, would be willing to call Jared Leto his son. Something he would never do when talking about his actual sons.
Following the Russel Brand playbook.
Please let this mean he's finally going to stop being cast in movies.
He must have pictures of some big producers. Photographs eh? Know what I mean, know what I mean?
Say no more
Wink wink
He is such a subpar actor, I don't know how he got cast anyway.
I liked when he got beat up in fight club
yeah i thought he was perfect for paul allen in american psycho
I liked when he burst out that dudes chest in alien
Show me one person who is surprised by this and he will show them his dick.
We’re all not surprised, but he’s still not in court. He’s still not in jail. He’s still allowed to rape girls at his leisure.
Of course he is, because this country is a nightmare from which we will never wake.
Yes exactly. It’s maddening to see the same sentiment over and over - this isn’t a surprise, it’s the ones you most expect, we’ve heard about this for decades.
And absolutely nothing has happened to him.
It's always the ones you'd expect.
To the shock and awe of...no one
I am shocked it is only 4
Only 4 so far
So far.
I'll be shocked if he actually faces any consequences beyond a scathing article.
This dude and Russel Brand are the biggest "I'm not surprised in the least" that they have accusations against them. Always got creepy vibes from both of them
I find it interesting the article ends saying there's 9 accusations back in 2025. I'm curious if these ones are additional accusations or some of those 9
I really wish this guy did not get cast for Bladerunner 2049.
To be fair, he "plays" a good creep. I don't think he takes away from the movie, which is something, but I wish it didn't give him employment.
Maybe he just showed up on the set one day, stabbed a lady in front of a rolling camera, did a creepy monologue about having billions of children, and then they wrote him a part around that so they wouldn't need to stop production while a murder investigation was carried out.
I kinda feel the same way, but if you need someone to play a self obsessed megalomaniac with a god complex...
And be really convincing...
I'm so glad I don't pay for films he's in
I stopped watching any of his works since I found out he has a cult..
This guy has a cult? Really?
Yes! Yes, that’s the guy with the cult!
Back in my 4th year of college (2003-2004) one of the freshman girls I was friends with mentioned that when her younger sister (16 at that the time) actually met Leto at one point and blew him; said when he came it tasted like candy.
Dudes a fucking creep
I mean in that story you and your friends are the creeps talking about eating some famous dudes cum.
Just four?
No shit?
Wow, the people obsessed with money who love the privilege capitalism grants them also enjoy power. Who could have guessed.
It's always the ones you most expect.
...in a row?
Try not to rape any women on your way through the parking lot!
"hey you, get back here!"
Isn't this the guy who was sending his costars used condoms as a "joke"?
Is that the guy from Conan?
How come his name hasn't come up in the Epstein context??
He was probably able to do his own luring, as opposed to Epstein's crowd.
Literally recruited the women for his cult from the fan groups for 30 Seconds to Mars.
Hollywood needs to remember that you cast Brit thesps as sweaty lizardy creeps, not real-life ones.
I wonder what he's doing in the universe where he stayed in music
Considering he sources cult members from his 30 seconds to mars fan groups, he’d be doing the same shit.
I'm not surprised!
My instinctive reaction is to say that I thought this was not the first accusations to break, but then I realize that must not be possible. So I think what I'm experiencing is the Least Possible Surprise at this news.
Jesus Christ!
Only four?
I hope he fucking rots in prison for the rest of his shitty life. I seriously hate this guy..
Of course, what woman would willingly fuck Leto?
Many. Many many many women lust after him. Probably more so for his musical career rather than his acting though
Just fame in general.
Agreed
There is no accounting for taste..
I don't disagree
