It’s no secret that our favorite guy of the moment, Jared Leto, is having the best year ever.
With an Oscar under his belt, several magazine covers, a thriving music career and front row fashion week seats, the sexy 42-year-old is the latest cover guy for the London Evening Standard’s magazine Deluxe, sporting an open black and white blazer that shows off those hot abs that we love to lust over. Dishing on everything in the issue from his consideration to attend the Oscars as his Dallas Buyers Club character Rayon, to whether he would consider a career in politics, the 30 Seconds to Mars singer is definitely a man living on cloud nine.
Check out tidbits from Jared’s interview below.
On almost dressing up in drag for the Oscars:
“I thought about dragging up for the Oscars, going as Rayon, because I knew that she would have loved to be there. It’s so much work for girls to get ready. I was brought up by my mum, so I always had an appreciation for women. But now I have more respect for the process. It’s a lot, what women have to do to themselves. But in the end, when you put that final dash of lipstick on and your look all comes together, it really is a glorious reward.”
If he would consider adding politics to his resume:
“My mum was a teenager when she had us; she used food stamps to feed us, she got helped by social services to go back to school and train as a nurse to try to give her kids some stability. So if I can help or be of service in any way…But you know what? I’m too impatient. I’d probably swear in a speech. As George Clooney says, ‘I’ve f***ed too many chicks and done too many drugs to be in politics.”
And while Leto is clearly living out his dreams now, life wasn’t always peaches and cream for the actor/musician, whose father committed suicide when he was 8-years-old. His troublesome upbringing led to both Jared and his brother Shannon dabbling in drugs and stealing cars before the actor went to Philadelphia to study art, and then to L.A. with his brother to pursue a career in music.
“Music saved [Shannon’s] life. It was either that or prison. It saved both of us really. Shannon started drumming on pots and pans from an early age; I played a broken, second-hand piano.”
