How does this man still have a career, we've known he is a predator for so long. Like decades at least.

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 93 points 2 months ago

And he is shit at acting.

[-] limonfiesta@lemmy.world 55 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

More importantly, he's box office poison.

Which really does lend credibility to the idea that he either has some Epstein-style blackmail on some influential people in Hollywood and/or he's still providing them with unsavory, or illegal, experiences.

Yea something is up.

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

He's rich. He produced tron so he got to say he was the lead in it. Rich people suck.

[-] architect@thelemmy.club 10 points 2 months ago

He’s got to be one of them that traffics or supplies women to the rest.

[-] 1egg4u@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

This is the genuinely such an agonizing flip side to it like if we are gonna employ a sex criminal at least get an actor who isnt total ass and ruins every movie he is in. Dude is allergic to emotion, wooden, and sucks to work with. It makes no sense. There are so many pervs in hollywood I know at least one of them has to be able to act better than this asshole

[-] tmyakal@infosec.pub 6 points 2 months ago

He peaked as Jordan Catalano in My So-Called Life, an intellectually stunted, emotionally empty symbol of naive adolescent desire. For some reason, he was really able to sink into that role.

You're confused on why a sexual predator is still working in an industry famously run by sexual predators?

[-] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 49 points 2 months ago

And spearheaded in a country that famously keeps and defends sexual predators in positions of power?

[-] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 19 points 2 months ago

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the USA was a mistake

Like most predators. Everyone knows for decades and hardly anyone does anything about it. The ones who speak up are called sluts, liars, clout-seekers, attention whores, etc.

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 2 months ago

You know why.

Ask Hollywood why they cover for perverts

I feel like this is why we keep seeing him in movies despite the fact he's box office kryptonite.

He's somebody's favorite sex pest.

You mean to tell me that the creepy weirdo that seems to run a sex cult with himself as the object of worship is a sex pest‽ That seems unlikely! (/s)

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 46 points 2 months ago

It's always the people you most expect

[-] AXH@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 months ago

Good interrobang usage‽ Hell yeah

Right?? I'm shocked of this news from the guy who may or may not have sent used condoms to his Suicide Squad co-stars in the pursuit of "method acting"

[-] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 67 points 2 months ago

So he’s a sexual predator and all his movies flop? Quick, cast him as a lead role in our next movie with a $250 million budget!

[-] Senal@programming.dev 53 points 2 months ago

1000005050

[-] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 45 points 2 months ago

The next article will be about how he’s rebranding himself as a born-again Christian.

[-] TheImpressiveX@piefed.social 27 points 2 months ago

He already thinks he is Jesus.

Following the Russel Brand playbook.

[-] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

Please let this mean he's finally going to stop being cast in movies.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

He must have pictures of some big producers. Photographs eh? Know what I mean, know what I mean?

He is such a subpar actor, I don't know how he got cast anyway.

[-] BottleBoardBakon@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

I liked when he got beat up in fight club

It's always the people you most expect.

Hopefully they stop putting this rapist in movies.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago

Someone once commented that "30 seconds to Mars was Jared Leto's excuse to get closer to teenage girls"

[-] ncc74656@lemmy.ml 27 points 2 months ago

To the shock and awe of...no one

[-] jasoman@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I am shocked it is only 4

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 13 points 2 months ago

Only 4 so far

[-] officermike@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

So far.

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'll be shocked if he actually faces any consequences beyond a scathing article.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

It's always the ones you'd expect.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

This dude and Russel Brand are the biggest "I'm not surprised in the least" that they have accusations against them. Always got creepy vibes from both of them

I find it interesting the article ends saying there's 9 accusations back in 2025. I'm curious if these ones are additional accusations or some of those 9

In a report in Air Mail in June 2025, nine women accused Leto of engaging in inappropriate behavior over the years

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago

I really wish this guy did not get cast for Bladerunner 2049.

[-] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

To be fair, he "plays" a good creep. I don't think he takes away from the movie, which is something, but I wish it didn't give him employment.

[-] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Maybe he just showed up on the set one day, stabbed a lady in front of a rolling camera, did a creepy monologue about having billions of children, and then they wrote him a part around that so they wouldn't need to stop production while a murder investigation was carried out.

[-] sleepdrifter@startrek.website 6 points 2 months ago

I kinda feel the same way, but if you need someone to play a self obsessed megalomaniac with a god complex...

And be really convincing...

[-] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Show me one person who is surprised by this and he will show them his dick.

I'm so glad I don't pay for films he's in

[-] hedders@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago

Just four?

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 7 points 2 months ago

If ever I was to learn that a hollywood actor turned out to be a serial killer, my money would be on Jared Leto or Ezra Miller. It'd be one of those two.
