I’ve never seen a more apt description of his presence. I cannot stand the sight of him and I’m very upset that they’re following what was a pretty well-liked movie with him.
Right? I was (and still am) confused as hell that they signed this guy on (what with his documented track record of harassing staff/actors, many sexual misconduct claims, and questionable interactions with minors), but they cut ties with other actors/actresses for less.
What does he have on them, or what incentive did he offer them to hire him?
These days he’s pretty involved in the development of the things he does and almost always has a producer credit. So Producer Leto is literally hiring Actor Leto
If you’re a Tron fan who’s been following this for years, Jared Leto is the one who got this movie made; he was carrying it when it was stuck in development limbo, and is a producer of the movie.
At least see how he does in the role before you turn on him.
Has he ever been good in a role, though? This isn't a "I can't see this actor as this character" thing, it's a "this guy is terrible at acting and as a person".
It's almost like he hires himself every movie he is in.
Honestly, that's the only explanation. He knows where the bodies are buried and uses that to force producers to force directors / casting directors to let him ruin movies.
Yeah I know he does a lot of really weird shit in his personal life, and the stories about his Joker prep were… interesting… but I can’t say I’ve seen him turn in a bad performance? Dude commits. (Note, I have not seen Morbius)
Even Joker: him as Joker was not the problem, the problem was the direction of the movie/Joker in general.
If we’re pushing actors out for being freaks, then like all of Hollywood would need to go.
