Ryan Gosling, Robert Pattinson, Ryan Reynolds, Zac Efron, Bradley Cooper... New venus are entering in the family of the Hollywood pretty faces... And try to drive out our precious Brad, Tom and Hugh ! Be careful ladies ! Among them, the mysterious Jared Leto... A name coming straight out of a movie of SF of the seventies, navy blue eyes, fine and clear muscles, a few esoteric tattoos... In short, an elegant young dandy a bit rebellious however the handsome Jared is... 43 years old ! By the way, he is one of the rare actors who is still very handsome even with a beard or long hair. The fineness of his features will be one of the best advantages to play the poignant role of Rayon in Dallas Buyers Club, for which he received a Golden Globe and the Oscar of the best supporting role, not to mention many other prices like the prestigious Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Jared was born on December 26 1971 in Bossier City, a small remote city of Louisiana, USA. During the 70ies/80ies, the family moved out a lot: Colorado, Wyoming, Virginia... and even in Haiti ! It was still the time of flower power and hippie not really chic... Anyway: travel broadens the mind ! Then direction New York, Jared was interested in film making and entered in the School of Visual Arts where he shot his first short films...

He discovers a real passion for comedy. In 1992, Jared was 21 years old. He decided to follow his luck in Los Angeles, the City of Angels where everything is possible for the apprentice actors.Two years later, he finally get noticed and had a great success on TV in the series « My so-called life ». After a few roles, he obtained his first great role in Requiem for a dream by Darren Aronofsky. After having played with Oliver Stone and Nicolas Cage, Jared Leto played a serial killer in Lonely Hearts with Salma Hayek. Then he played the murderer of John Lenon in Chapter 27. Jared, rebellious forever !

If Jared doesn’t appear in movies since the mid 2000’s, it’s because this handsome man has another artistic string to his bow. He created his own rock group, "30 seconds to Mars", with his brother. And with the success, he decided to dedicate more time to it ! Since his grungy teenage years, Jared has been a real fan of rock. No rebellious attitude without punk music ! Music ? A pop rock with heroic accents for a public composed of American post-adolescents. The critiques love it. The voice is beautiful, powerful, a bit broken. Since 2006, the group has been regularly on tour through the united states and Europe. Again a success: their second album is a platinum disc !

The portrait wouldn’t been finished without a touch of modeling ! Handsome yes like Bowie but handsome like Leto ! It was obvious. Since he was 18 years old, the baby Jared had already been noticed and already had a book. Athletic, he descends in skate or in snowboard. With his pretty face and his chameleon side, he tries everything: crazy weight gains and weigh losses as the spectacular metamorphosis ! Now, he regularly poses for his friend, the scandalous photograph Terry Richardson. Since 2011, he is the muse of the perfumes Hugo Boss. So yes, the handsome seduces many ladies and the best ones. Kristi McDaniel, Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johansson... They were all seduced ! But Jared remains discreet and is rather serious with his love stories. If you want to meet him - you can keep dreaming ! – go to Haiti. Jared Leto, very implied in humanitarian and environmental causes, goes very often there. The handsome guy is really perfect...!
