Good actors don't harass their coworkers and send weird things to their coworker's house to do their job.

Or have private, sex cult islands.

I... What? What happened here

While Jared Leto is best known for his acting career and for being the lead vocalist of the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, several controversies have followed him over the years. These include allegations of predatory behavior toward underage girls and using “method acting” as an excuse to pull bizarre stunts on Hollywood sets. However, while allegations of misconduct against Leto have been swirling for nearly two decades, nothing much has come of them. The accusations tend to resurface every few years, but Leto continues to wield a large fanbase nonetheless; he allegedly started a cult comprised of his devoted followers.

...

While the allegations against Leto haven’t been proven, some in Hollywood have implied that there may be some substance to them, and have even publicly called out the actor for his creepy behavior toward young women. Here’s what you need to know about Leto’s biggest controversies.

The Problem With Jared Leto: A Timeline

Thanks. I also thought maybe op had something to add. But euh, maybe wise to not do so haha

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

To be fair Margot Robbie is probably still traumatised by Leto's on-set antics and doesn't want to unearth any more painful memories.

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Are any publically known about margot? This is a first time i hear of this! Sucks fucking arse though!

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

Margot Robbie replied to you above.

[–] Steve 7 points 5 months ago

He's a very solid actor.
Personaly, he seems a bit of a nut job.

Whenever I post in the Tron community, there are people already writing off the upcoming film just because he's in it.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There's a Tron community? Back in a mo.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's mainly me posting at !tron@lemmy.world about Tron:Ares news. 😁

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago

That's good enough for me.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

He's only suitable for a very select type of role that he can fit into. So generally I don't think he's much range or much talent. But for those select roles he's a great fit for he's decent.

[–] rezz@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Best movies are Requiem and Dallas Buyers Club. He is 6/10 serviceable in anything else.

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I completely forgot he was in Requiem for a Dream. That redeems a lot of other bad roles.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think his acting is just fine. It's the roles he has had that suck. Like, he didn't act poorly as Joker; just that his Joker was a shit version of the character to begin with. Nobody would have made that a good character.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah but how much of that version of Joker came from him in the first place the question. Actors can very much shape their role just as much as, if not more than, directors and writers do. I can't say I see that and think it would have been the same from a different actor.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I don't have one. I only saw him in Suicide Squad and I think it is best not to judge anyones acting on that film.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago

I'm always very conscious that I am watching a Jared Leto performance which can be a bit jarring. Given his on-set antics, I am unsure the result is worth the price.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 5 months ago

He will always be Jordan Catalano to me. I'm not sure I can be objective here.
