Photos: Jared Leto Starving For Role In The Dallas Buyers Club

Jared Leto Looks Like This After Being Held In Uncle Terry’s Basment

Jared Leto ate his feelings in 2007 to play Mark David Chapman in J.P. Schaefer’s Chapter 27 and before that he ate nothing at all to play a heroin addict in Requiem for a Dream. And he’s basically eating nothing again because of course and because eyebrows and body fat are replaceable. Leto says he only signed on to the Dallas Buyers Club a few weeks ago and he basically started fasting the day he got the part. He tells Vulture: ‘I’m playing a transsexual woman. I didn’t get involved in the project until a few weeks ago, three and a half weeks ago. Your body goes through weird stages [when you're fasting]. Sometimes it’s hard to hold on to water. But for me, it’s not about the most weight I can lose, it’s more to represent the character. I’m focused on what it means to be a transsexual woman… Historically, people have done [fasting] for pursuit of self, to achieve a meditative state, so I’m hoping for that, and not the other things. It’s not necessarily a bad thing.’ Included are photos of the actor taken in Uncle Terry’s basement yesterday for which I believe we’re supposed to scour for clues while altering the authorities.
