In 2016, the DC Comics

movie Suicide Squad

was one of the most watched movies of the year.

Despite this, the film received

harsh reviews

from critics.

Some said that its plot lacked soul, others that the script was not up to par and others simply criticized the performance of some actors.

Among them,

Jared Leto

(50), who played the

Joker

.

What's more, the also vocalist of

30 Seconds to Mars

has been cataloged as

"Worst Joker Ever"

.

Even so, the artist returned to repeat his role in

The Justice League

, in 2021, and this 2022 has dared with a

new superhero movie.

But this time, from the hand of Marvel.

This is

Morbius

, a production that tells the story of Michael Morbius, a

scientist who suffers from a

strange blood disease and who ends up becoming a vampire.

"I love being able to star as Morbius the first time he appears on screen. I've always been interested in his transformation, so it

was impossible for me to say no

to director Daniel Espinosa's offer,"

Leto

recently told

Variaty

, which he has created. great expectations among his fans.

Above all, among the Spaniards, who were lucky enough to see it at the

premiere

this Tuesday , at the Callao Cinemas in Madrid, and on Wednesday at

El Hormiguero

.

This is the first time that the American presents a film in Spain.

However,

Leto

has been numerous times in Iberian territory -such as in 2013, 2015 and 2018- presenting his music.

And it is that, in the first instance,

Jared was known on this side of the world

for his role as a singer, despite the fact that he had already developed countless films.

In fact,

Leto

starred in his first short film when he was in high school.

Although it was difficult for him to opt for the cinema, because

his parents encouraged him to try all the disciplines:

the piano, composition, painting -which he studied at the

University of Philadelphia-

and acting, which he learned in the

New York City's High School of Visual Arts,

when he was in his twenties.

Later, Leto moved to Los Angeles and, unlike many actors,

he was immediately lucky.

What's more, within months of moving in, he began bowling on television and at three years old he landed his first role in a movie called

How to Make an American

Quil

.

Later, the actor went through films like

Fight Club

or

Girl, Interrupted

,

with

Winona Ryder

.

However, his first notable character was that of Paul Allen in

American Psycho

, followed by Harry Goldfarb in

Requiem for a Dream

, which gave him eight different award nominations.

On the other hand, between 2000 and 2002, Leto made a couple of movies, like

Panic Room

, but then he was already focused on his new musical project.

30 Seconds to Mars - made up of

Leto, his brother and a friend

- made their debut in August 2002, with their self-titled album.

At first, the artist said that he did it

to have fun,

but shortly after, Leto realized that the band worked and began to

dedicate more and more time to it,

in addition to raising the quality of his compositions.

Thus

The Kill

was born .

One of the group's biggest hits that, in January 2006, reached number 11 on the Billboard international ranking, where it stayed for 29 weeks.

Still, Leto doesn't consider his success too great.

For example, he often says in interviews that he has managed to

be a relevant person because he "is used to falling down."

"Without those falls, there is nothing that motivates you to achieve success," he declares.

Aunque, en la práctica no es que Leto se haya caído muchas veces. Al menos, de manera pública. De hecho, en 2014 dijo "no quiero sonar como un imbécil, pero

he obtenido 14 premios solo este año",

tras ganar un Oscar y un Globo de oro por su participación en

El club de los desahuciados

. Su mejor película hasta ahora, además de

The Little Things

, que lo llevó a ser nominado a los Globos de oro en 2021. Obviamente, Leto espera que

Morbius

logre hacer que se le considere de nuevo para las nominaciones el próximo año, pero si no sucede, si las críticas son demoledoras, Jared tiene un plan B. ¿De qué se trata? De

negocios e inversiones en compañías como Uber, Spotify, Snapchat

e incluso Airbnb.

Also, the celeb

has founded three companies

: The Hive, which is an advertising agency, Vyrt -a streaming platform- and Adventures in Wonderland, a company that offers VIP experiences, so it is not surprising that Leto has a fortune

80 million euros

.

Despite this, the star likes to share her money with her family, her

girlfriend, the Russian model Valery Kaufman

(with whom she has been in a relationship since 2015) and various NGOs.

For example,

Leo

cares a lot about causes such as animal defense, same-sex marriage, the preservation of the environment and diabetes research, as well as supporting numerous peoples that need international help, such as Haiti, after the 2010 earthquake, or Ukraine, in the present.
