Jared Leto Details His “Immersive Work” Preparing For Movies

Director Daniel Espinosa, saying, “He really commits. You have to watch out for it.”

But the process can take a toll on the performer, with Leto noting that it’s difficult to shed a character, even one as tortured as Morbius. “For me, they’re like living, breathing people,” he says. “I know they’re not, of course, but I get attached. It’s a shame to never do it again.”

Some personas are harder to say goodbye to than others, with Leto revealing that he found himself slipping into the accent of Paolo Gucci as he was playing Adam Neumann in the AppleTV+ series WeCrashed. He recalled, “It was very bizarre. I don’t know if it’s because I got tired or if Paolo was just demanding my attention, but that can happen.”
