The next article will be about how he’s rebranding himself as a born-again Christian.

[–] TheImpressiveX@piefed.social 6 points 1 hour ago

He already thinks he is Jesus.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 5 points 1 hour ago

If ever I was to learn that a hollywood actor turned out to be a serial killer, my money would be on Jared Leto or Ezra Miller. It'd be one of those two.

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)

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 minutes ago

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"

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 hours ago

It's always the people you most expect

[–] AXH@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Good interrobang usage‽ Hell yeah

[–] waitingtech@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

"Interrobang".

brings me back to the days of... The Inter-Web...

How does this man still have a career, we've known he is a predator for so long. Like decades at least.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 25 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You're confused on why a sexual predator is still working in an industry famously run by sexual predators?

[–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

And spearheaded in a country that famously keeps and defends sexual predators in positions of power?

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 4 points 1 hour ago

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the USA was a mistake

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.

[–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 2 points 46 minutes ago

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.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 hours ago

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.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

Ask Hollywood why they cover for perverts

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 3 hours ago

You know why.

With him and Russell Brand looking so much alike, I can't help but feel that the look is a giveaway sign.

[–] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 41 points 3 hours ago

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!

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I really wish this guy did not get cast for Bladerunner 2049.

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 1 points 51 minutes ago

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.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 19 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Please let this mean he's finally going to stop being cast in movies.

[–] warm@kbin.earth 3 points 2 hours ago

He is such a subpar actor, I don't know how he got cast anyway.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

He must have pictures of some big producers. Photographs eh? Know what I mean, know what I mean?

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 15 points 3 hours ago

It's always the ones you'd expect.

[–] ncc74656@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

To the shock and awe of...no one

[–] jasoman@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago (2 children)
[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 9 points 3 hours ago

Only 4 so far

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago
[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I'll be shocked if he actually faces any consequences beyond a scathing article.

[–] hedders@fedia.io 7 points 3 hours ago
[–] obvs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Jesus Christ!

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago

Isn't this the guy who was sending his costars used condoms as a "joke"?

[–] Onyxonblack@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

I hope he fucking rots in prison for the rest of his shitty life. I seriously hate this guy..

[–] dasrael@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

Of course, what woman would willingly fuck Leto?

[–] decolo@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

How come his name hasn't come up in the Epstein context??

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

He was probably able to do his own luring, as opposed to Epstein's crowd.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 hours ago

Literally recruited the women for his cult from the fan groups for 30 Seconds to Mars.

...in a row?
