First, he loses his man-bun and had a clean-shaven face. A few days later, he came out in the Paris Fashion Week with his short hair dyed beach blonde and came to the event on the same day that Kim Kardashian made her first public appearance sporting a platinum blonde do.
Indeed, Jared Leto is a hot news item these days after he was confirmed to play the role of the Clown Prince of Crime, known to everyone else as the Joker, in the upcoming DC comic adaptation movie titled “Suicide Squad,” due to hit theaters on August 5, 2016.
After appearing on the Paris Fashion Week, Chase Kusero, hair stylist of Jared Leto, then posted on his Instagram account an image of the actor showing the back of his head. Only this time, instead of platinum blonde, Jared Leto’s hair has already been dyed green, details ComicBookMovie.com.
The fact that Leto already had his hair dyed green indicates that filming of “Suicide Squad” has begun or about to begin in Toronto, Canada as earlier reported.
With all that teasing, it looks likely that Jared Leto will play his part in the best way he knows how as a very good actor, which can be attested no less by an Oscars trophy last year for his supporting role in “Dallas Buyers Club.”
Makeover decision
“Suicide Squad” has all the makings of a true blockbuster so it was kind of easy for Jared Leto to decide on his makeover and be ready to take on the meaty part of the Joker in the movie.
In additon to Leto playing the Joker, “Suicide Squad” also stars Will Smith as Dead Shot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, and Cara Delevingne as Enchantress.
Based on DC Comics, “Suicide Squad” is a task force of supervillains that were imprisoned by the government upon apprehension of course by the DC superheroes.
A secret government agency headed by Amanda Waller formed the task force to initiate a black ops mission in exchange for clemency.
Actor and singer
Jared Leto has had 22 film credits to his name starting with the movie “How to Make an American Quilt” back in 1995 until the “Dallas Buyers Club” in 2013 acting as a transgender where he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for it in 2014.
He only had 22 movies in the last 20 years because he is very selective with his films so the “Suicide Squad must really be good to be considered by the actor.
Jared is also the lead vocalist of the Thirty Seconds to Mars, a band he formed in 1998 with his older brother Shannon. Their debut album titled “30 Seconds to Mars” was released in 2002 and got positive reviews but only limited success. But it was the band’s second album titled “A Beautiful Lie” released in 2005 that carried the band to worldwide stardom.
