Jared Leto is a multifaceted American entertainer, widely recognized for his work as both a "method actor" and the frontman of the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars. Born on December 26, 1971, in Bossier City, Louisiana, Leto was raised in an artistic environment that nurtured his creative spirit.

He quickly transitioned to film, earning a reputation for his intense dedication to his roles, often undergoing significant physical and psychological transformations. Notable performances include a heroin addict in Requiem for a Dream, an ax-murder victim in American Psycho, and the killer of John Lennon in Chapter 27, for which he gained 60 pounds.

The band has released several successful albums and is known for its energetic live performances. Leto has also directed many of the band's music videos under the pseudonym Bartholomew Cubbins. He has continued to take on diverse acting roles, including as the Joker in Suicide Squad and as Niander Wallace in Blade Runner 2049, as well as a memorable performance as Paolo Gucci in House of Gucci.
