While Jared Leto is best known for his acting career and for being the lead vocalist of the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, several controversies have followed him over the years. These include allegations of predatory behavior toward underage girls and using “method acting” as an excuse to pull bizarre stunts on Hollywood sets. However, while allegations of misconduct against Leto have been swirling for nearly two decades, nothing much has come of them. The accusations tend to resurface every few years, but Leto continues to wield a large fanbase nonetheless; he allegedly started a cult comprised of his devoted followers.

While the allegations against Leto haven’t been proven, some in Hollywood have implied that there may be some substance to them, and have even publicly called out the actor for his creepy behavior toward young women. Here’s what you need to know about Leto’s biggest controversies.
He's only suitable for a very select type of role that he can fit into. So generally I don't think he's much range or much talent. But for those select roles he's a great fit for he's decent.
I think his acting is just fine. It's the roles he has had that suck. Like, he didn't act poorly as Joker; just that his Joker was a shit version of the character to begin with. Nobody would have made that a good character.
Yeah but how much of that version of Joker came from him in the first place the question. Actors can very much shape their role just as much as, if not more than, directors and writers do. I can't say I see that and think it would have been the same from a different actor.
I'm always very conscious that I am watching a Jared Leto performance which can be a bit jarring. Given his on-set antics, I am unsure the result is worth the price.
