Why do so many people hate Jared Leto? He does a competent job in most of his roles and a good job every now and then. I don’t know if I can see him as diabolical evil-for-evil’s-sake like skeletor but maybe. I haven’t seen him in anything recently but My So Called Life was pretty good.

people don’t like him in a few movies, including the joker

he has at least 9 public sexual misconduct allegations against him, including costars alluding to some additional misconduct

his fans treat him like a cult leader and he leans into it, adding to the “creepy narcissist vibe” for many people

he is an intense method actor, going so for as to send used condoms and dead rats to production companies and costars during the filming phase

That’s the jist of it, but for me there’s some additional things, like seeing some of the tiktoks he did he is just missing the mark for me. To me he comes off as inauthentic in minor ways, leading him down the uncanny valley.

  Wait, I don’t think that’s how method acting actually works.

  I didn’t know about the sex or cult stuff. I never saw the joker, I was done with all the comic book movie by then. I like to think that if I got unconscionably rich doing something I loved I’d neither sexually harass people nor save used condoms but I guess the old folks were right, it goes to show you never can tell.

    Don’t confuse joaquin phoenix and jared leto. The 2019 Joker movie has nothing to do with jared leto.

    Leto was Joker in suicide squad, not in the joker movie

I’ve only seen him in half a dozen things, not including My So Called Life. I think he’s been terrible in all but one role, which was in WeCrashed. In that, he did a great job of playing a creepy weirdo. Based on that experience, he might do a decent job of skeletor

  Are you the casting director? This sounds like their logic, to a tee. 🖕🏼
