The 50-year-old actor covers the April issue of , and talks about how dramatically changing his appearance for roles impacts his own life.Leto has played everyone from The Joker to Paolo Gucci, always staying in character on set, and always adapting how he looks for the role.While Leto's aware that his dedication to the projects won't actually turn him into the people he's playing, he tells the mag, «Your job is to bring to life the spirit of the person that’s depicted in the story, to serve the story... I’m thinking about the heart of the character, the soul, the spirit.»«Those other things,» he says of the prosthetics, the makeup, the bodily transformations, «it’s the description.»In the end, he explains, the physical changes he goes through are less about looking like a particular person, and more about getting insight into how that person walks through life.«How does it change the way you walk? How does it change the way you talk? How does it change the way people treat you?» he says of changing his own appearance for the sake of a role. «I gained over 60 pounds for a role once, and it was amazing.
Jared Padalecki Details His ‘Worst’ Scene From ‘Gilmore Girls’: It Felt Like a ‘Nightmare’
09.03.2022 - 22:45 / usmagazine.com
A moment of panic. Jared Padalecki recalled a “nightmare” experience had filming a scene for Gilmore Girls that he wasn’t prepared for.
“I didn’t shoot every day on Gilmore Girls, and on this particular week, I wasn’t needed on set until Friday,” the Walker star, 39, who played Rory’s (Alexis Bledel) first love, Dean, recalled to the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday, March 9, adding that he stayed out with his friends until “three or four in the morning” because he thought he had the following day off.
“I think what happened was, Lauren Graham got sick and the scene that she was supposed to film on Tuesday had to be moved,” he recounted. “So they had to film something else — let’s shoot the scene where Dean and Lindsay (Arielle Kebbel) get married and come out of the chapel there in Stars Hollow.”
Unfortunately, Padalecki was still asleep when the crew called him to set, which resulted in his manager calling his friend to wake him up. “I had 20 missed calls and text messages. … I shot out of bed, had a cup of coffee and a water, jumped in the shower and then drove over to Warner Bros,” the Supernatural alum explained. “I was probably two hours later than they were hoping and I didn’t have the scene prepared, but I knew the basics of what was going on.”
He continued: “Luckily I didn’t really have many lines at first, it was just us coming out of the chapel. But I ended up having other scenes later that did have dialogue, so at least I had time in the morning where I was in hair and makeup to learn those.”
Though the New York Minute actor was able to film his scenes eventually, the moment still looms large in Padalecki’s mind. “It was basically the feeling of that nightmare where you’re naked at school,” he said. “Except unlike

Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway recreate WeWork rise and fall
NEW YORK -- When Jared Leto last appeared in a TV series it was 1995 and he played Claire Danes’ high school crush, Jordan Catalano, in ABC’s “My So-Called Life.” His character was the perfect bad boyfriend who left Danes’ angsty Angela Chase analyzing every encounter.The show lasted only one season (but it's cemented in 90s pop culture, along with the Catalano character) and Leto went on to become an Oscar winner for his work in the 2013 film “Dallas Buyers Club” and a rock star with his band 30 Seconds to Mars.Leto returns to television Friday in the limited series “ WeCrashed ” for Apple TV+ and says the experience felt more like making a film rather than TV.“The approach was the same.

New York appeals court rules new free speech rules shouldn’t impact on Dr Luke v Kesha defamation case
A New York appeals court has overturned a ruling made last year in the ongoing defamation legal battle between Kesha and producer Dr Luke which would make it harder for the latter to prove that he was defamed by the former, while also opening him up to a damages claim.That original ruling last year was based on new free speech laws in New York state, but the appeals court said last week that those new rules should not be applied retroactively so that they impact on active disputes.Luke’s defamation lawsuit against Kesha is all that remains of a long-running, multi-layered and quite complicated legal battle between the two former musical collaborators.At the heart of the wider legal battle was Kesha’s allegation of rape against Luke. He denies that allegation, and in turn alleges that she only made that claim in a bid to force his hand in contract negotiations.
