Body By Jared

Big developments since last we checked in with our favorite actor/singer. For one, the 30 Seconds To Mars bassist just quit. Sad news, music lovers! And in another crushing development, Jared's nose was broken during a stagedive at a 30STM show when nobody caught him. (Sounds like somebody's fans are starting to wise up.) But this post is meant to highlight the startling physical transformation Jared underwent for his critically acclaimed performance as Mark David Chapman in Chapter 27.

As much as everyone ridicules him, you gotta respect his commitment to the role. Or be disgusted by it. Either one.

Jared Leto... with his hand down his Y-Fronts. Wikipedia needs to add this to their "what 30 Seconds To Mars sounds like" page pronto.

The fact remains...no matter how much a motherfucker eats, he won't "gain" acting talent.
