A musician, an actor and an artist, Jared Leto obviously finds it difficult to concentrate. With box office smash movies like Fight Club, Girl, Interrupted and new flick Chapter 27 to boast about, and a band that’s already touring the world on their second album, it looks like his short attention span has paid off!
Famous right now for his band 30 Seconds To Mars, Jared had his breakthrough success in TV where he played alongside Claire Danes in the angst teen drama series, My So Called Life (The OC of the 1990s).
A back-up guitarist and lead singer for the band, Jared rocks out with his bro Shannon, who plays the drums.
Staying busy, Jared’s latest film is due to be released this year. In Chapter 27 Jared plays Mark Chapman, the man who killed legendary John Lennon from the Beatles, with Lindsay Lohan as a co star.
