It's hard to say how I feel about Jared Leto. On the one hand, he has these charges on him. On the other hand, he can't act, he's consistently the worst part of movies he's in, and he basically has nothing good about him.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 36 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The only genuinely positive thing I could maybe say about him is he did do a good job playing a tech oligarch pervert in Blade Runner 2049.

Though in retrospect seems like that didn't involve much acting.

His band had like 2 ok songs and he looked kinda hot in an emo way in the music video for The Kill. He was also the only one who actually understood that Italians are unserious people in House of Gucci

That's all the good things I have for him.

Italians are unserious people

You're right, I've never been able to take an Italian I've met IRL seriously. I'm not sure why.

I've known loads, and I love many of them... But they take themselves and everything so seriously it wraps back around to being un serious.

Same with Kinski, it's just abusive creeps playing an exaggerated version of themselves. Depp is similar, in that the only guy he can play is the mask he puts on to appear as a harmless goofball.

That's true, but he's also known to be personally a nightmare to work with on set. And everything he's in bombs.

Don't forget his music sucks!

It was pretty cool when his face was pummeled in Fight Club

[–] average@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

Agreed, his best performance was getting the shit kicked out of him.

I kind of enjoyed when Christian Bale killed him with an axe in African Psycho, personally

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Apparently, Christian Bale constantly acted like Patrick Bateman even off set. And they didn't tell Leto he was about to be killed with an axe in that scene, so his reaction would be genuine. It's great to know that, for a few seconds, Jared Leto thought Christian Bale was about to kill him with an axe.

[–] average@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

I’m curious how they didn’t tell him. Wouldn’t that be in the script?

Did they assume correctly that he didn’t read it?

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Who knew the guy with his own Epstein Island where he ran a cult would turn out to be a sexual abuser?

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Man why can't there ever be any normal tropical island cults? I'd love to join one, but they all turn out to be satanic pervert clubs.

The folks in The Wicker Man seemed alright luau

hmm have you considered becoming a parrothead and wasting away in margaritaville? curious-marx

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Don't forget all the CIA connections and dodgy regime change charity stuff.

[–] rubber_chicken@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's always the ones you most suspect.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

The only thing shocking about this is that we didn’t hear about it sooner.

This guy, Russel Crowe… are there any famous Jesus-impersonator lookalikes that arent rapey?

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

seen-this-one

I wish people actually did get cancelled.

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They do, it just happens exclusively to marginalized people who do not have any clout or a team of PR guys and lawyers to fight back. Cancel culture has not affected a single white chud, but the term actually comes out of black queer communities, were losing your support network is one of the most serious threats because you have nobody else to rely on.

like with a comically big stamp on the center of their forehead lol then on to the gulag

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hollywood is surely going to respond by putting him in a 100+ million dollar movie called PedoMan.

[–] Hermes@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Honestly I thought this had already happened, and didn't notice the title didn't say "Four more women..."

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

He wasn't already?

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Not satisfied just being the worst joker he's also trying to be the worst guy in general

[–] Azarova@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

TrueAnon has done an episode or two on him a while back and he's apparently been a creep forever. Surprised nothing has stuck enough to throw him in jail yet.

[–] kittenzrulz123@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Perhaps one of the least shocking stories in recent history

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

can we put this piece of shit in a hole somewhere already

or some holes in him

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He's a total moron too

A theatre near me was showing a play about God and Ai and Russia and some other nonsense. In the advertising package for it they featured Leto saying things like 'this is one of the most thought provoking deep plays I've ever seen' and all that.

I got offered free tickets to it because it was selling so poorly, and boy, it was fucking dreadful. So bad I almost had to see it twice just to laugh again. Every time there was an awfully scripted or acted moment I'd smile first, and then chuckle when I thought of Leto in the expensive seats going 'Wow. Just wow.'

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

it's the end of the month, that bigmoneysalvia "kicking Jared Leto when he's down" video is dropping soon

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

His namesake, the God Emperor of Dune, would roll this motherfucker over with a high tech go-kart.

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

surprised-pika-messed-up Jared Leto? Wholesome chungus Jared Leto sexually abused people? I don't believe it, he's been FRAMED hasan-smash

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

I'd Like to See Ol Jared Wriggle His Way Out of THIS Jam!

[–] RondoRevolution@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Incredible piece of shit is confirmed even more of a human stain. I doubt anything gonna happen to him unfortunately. And I don't get why he keeps getting cast for everything, I genuinely don't get why he is this famous to begin with.
