actors, and comedians always turned out to be sex fiends.

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

That is a very broad brush.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 52 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Just nine? The dude has a sex cult island.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 15 points 15 hours ago

Just nine... for now

Haha so true

The weird thing with Jared Leto is that I've never felt he's been very successful, yet he's always had bunch of people hyping him. I can't think of him being a leading actor in anything I've ever seen. He's always been lower down the bill. You look at all his award nominations on IMDb and 90% of them are "supporting actor".

So why is he a name? I always put it down to him being involved with the "right" people in Hollywood. Those people obviously being very wrong.

[–] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

He is the lead singer of "30 Seconds to Mars". That's where his fame came from originally.

His appearance in movies has always been a weird "let's shove this famous guy from one media into this other one for publicity" kinda thing. Then for some reason he just stayed doing movies and here we are.

[–] phar@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I had no idea he was in a band. Dude was from My So Called Life.

[–] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Never heard of that show. Always knew him from the band growing up and was surprised as hell to learn he did film.

[–] Colalextrast@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I mean... he's had plenty of starring roles, and his acting has won him both awards and acclaim. Requiem for a Dream, Mr. Nobody, Dallas Buyers Club, House of Gucci, The Little Things - and that's not including his clunkers. He's still an in-demand actor with 30 years of work behind him. Not everyone makes a career that good in Hollywood.

I think he's an asshole. But he's a talented asshole.

Requiem for a Dream, Mr. Nobody, Dallas Buyers Club, House of Gucci, The Little Things

Lord of war was great

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago

Hollywood is a network of interlocking blackmail. They all know each other's dirty little secrets and Leto has a sex cult island he's using as a honey pot to get a bit more dirt on other people then they do on him.

[–] non_burglar@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago

It's Morbin time.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 13 points 17 hours ago

I think there's a couple reasons. He did make some really good music, and he has a very recognizable face in that he kind of looks like Jesus lol

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 5 points 17 hours ago

I think you could be right there. He's maybe just well connected

It’s kind of interesting how all of these guys will have these stories attached to them for years until anyone cares.

Sorta like Cosby - people knew, but nobody gave a shit until Hannibal Buress started calling it out.

They get away with it for years, live glamorous wealthy lives that give them access to tons of victims, and if they are ever punished it doesn’t last long.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 18 points 18 hours ago

The thing is, people knew Jimmy Savile was dodgy…women spoke to people on set and even teachers, coppers caught him in awkward situations…the guy just went on and on til he died. I get why women don’t speak up cause there’s so much risk of ridicule.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 8 points 20 hours ago

Yep it's almost the perfect crime

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

Give it time and there will be more than 9. Dude is a known problem.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 201 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's always the ones you most suspect.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 62 points 1 day ago

Yep there's been rumours about him for years, this just confirms suspicions

[–] Zanathos@lemmy.world 55 points 22 hours ago (12 children)

I can't stand this asshole and don't understand how he keeps nailing acting roles in top movies of genres I love. Anytime I see him cast in a movie I'm interested in, it just deflates my anticipation to almost zero.

30 Second to Mars used to be top tier like 10-15 years ago, but after seeing him about 5 years ago I've lost all respect for him in all aspects of his career. He took the stage dressed like Jesus and proceeded to spin around for 3 hours while the entire crowd sand his songs for him. Absolutely abysmal show.

Hopefully this is the last we need to hear and see of this jackass, but time will tell.

They're really burying the lede here. The closing paragraphs of the article:

The woman added that once, when she was 18, Leto “suddenly pulled his penis out and started masturbating”. She told the outlet: “Then he walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him. He leaned in and said: ‘I want you to spit on it.’”

Another woman, Allie Teilz, a Los Angeles-based DJ and music producer, last month on Instagram reposted a 2012 Facebook status in which she had said: “Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat,” Air Mail reported.

In her Instagram stories, which Air Mail reviewed, Teilz said: “I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17 … He knew my age and didn’t care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.”

Yeah, that seems a bit more than "sexual impropriety" (which sounds like hes's being accused of premarital sex or something).

What will this mean for Morbius 2?

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

They might have to take the electric out of boogaloo.

I know the writer and editor had a lot of options to go through when choosing a lead photo for this story, but I think they must've simultaneously said "that's the one" when they got to this pic.
