I don’t really care for Jared Leto. He definitely fits into the saying “All musicians want to be actors, and all actors want to be musicians”. That’s all well and good, Eddie Murphy gave us a sweet track, Bruce Willis played some mean blues harp, and steven seagal is actually quite talented. But what really bugs me about Jared Leto is that he truly takes himself seriously.
Tell me what this description sounds like: He reveals his emotional depth in his songwriting ability and occasional — and seemingly accidental — profound thoughts.
That’s a character description of Jordan Catalano, the role Leto played on “My So-Called Life”. Sound like anyone we know in real life?
Bah. What an egomaniac. What a buffoon. This guy actually said that one of his scenes in the movie “Phone Booth” had to be taken out because it was just too funny and it would cause the audience to lose their edge.
This reminds me of a conversation myself, and mega-gross alec had concerning Jamie Foxx. Now there’s an entertainer. He can act (awesome in Ray and Collateral), he’s ridiculously funny (see stand-up special “I might need security) and he’s pumping out hit after hit on the top 40. But, as he demonstrated by including a clubbing Ron Howard in his “Blame it on the Alcohol video, he isn’t trying to validate himself constantly.
Try humor and humility next time Jared, not samurais and indulgent dream sequences. Pussy.
Horse’s ass.
