About
Jared Joseph Leto ( LET-oh; born December 26, 1971) is an American actor and musician. Known for his method acting in a variety of roles, he has received various accolades over a career spanning three decades, including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. He is also the frontman of the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars.
After beginning his career on the television series My So-Called Life (1994), Leto made his film debut in How to Make an American Quilt (1995) and gained critical attention for his performance in Prefontaine (1997). After supporting roles in The Thin Red Line (1998), Fight Club (1999), Girl, Interrupted (1999) and American Psycho (2000), he received praise for his lead role as a drug addict in Requiem for a Dream (2000). He then began to focus more on music, but returned to acting with Panic Room (2002), Alexander (2004), Lord of War (2005), Chapter 27 (2007), and Mr. Nobody (2009). His performance as a transgender woman in Dallas Buyers Club (2013) won him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He has since appeared in Suicide Squad (2016), Blade Runner 2049 (2017), The Little Things (2021), House of Gucci (2021), Morbius (2022), Tron: Ares (2025), and Masters of the Universe (2026).
Leto is the lead vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and main songwriter for Thirty Seconds to Mars, a band he formed in 1998 with his older brother Shannon Leto. Its debut album, 30 Seconds to Mars (2002), was released to positive reviews but to limited commercial success. Its second album, A Beautiful Lie (2005), pushed the band into the public eye, and the next releases, This Is War (2009) and Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams (2013), received further critical and commercial success. They were followed by America (2018) and It's the End of the World but It's a Beautiful Day (2023), both of which polarized critics upon release. The band has sold over 15 million albums worldwide.

Jared Joseph Leto, né le 26 décembre 1971 à Bossier City en Louisiane, est un acteur, chanteur, compositeur et réalisateur américain.
Il commence sa carrière d'acteur au début des années 1990, en incarnant un jeune à problèmes dans la série télévisée américaine Angela, 15 ans. Il se fait connaître du grand public en 2000, en incarnant un héroïnomane dans le drame indépendant Requiem for a Dream, de Darren Aronofsky.
Par la suite, il incarne plusieurs seconds rôles souvent d'antagonistes : dans le thriller Panic Room (2002), le peplum Alexandre (2004), puis le thriller Lord of War (2005). Comme tête d'affiche, il suscite des avis partagés avec le drame indépendant Chapitre 27 (2007), mais il impressionne la critique européenne avec sa performance dans le film de science-fiction Mr Nobody (2009). Il reçoit un large éloge critique et remporte l'Oscar du meilleur acteur dans un second rôle pour sa performance dans le drame Dallas Buyers Club.
Par la suite, il revient aux rôles d'adversaires dans des projets plus commerciaux : il incarne le Joker, un rôle qui déçoit la critique, dans Suicide Squad (2016) et Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021), puis Neander Wallace dans Blade Runner 2049 (2017), Michael Morbius dans Morbius (2022) et Skeletor dans Les Maîtres de l'univers (2026).
Parallèlement, il mène une carrière d'auteur-compositeur-chanteur-interprète avec le groupe rock Thirty Seconds to Mars, et réalise des clips musicaux sous le pseudonyme de Bartholomew Cubbins, inspiré par une œuvre de Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr Seuss).
