Video · Jared Leto ''Trying to Gain a Lot of Weight'' to Play the Joker in Suicide Squad, But Says He's ''Terrible at Eating a Lot''

Jared Leto is about to undergo another total body transformation!
In 2012, the actor lost between 30 and 40 pounds to play Ron Woodroof, the real-life AIDS patient in Dallas Buyers Club. The role earned Leto the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2014, but he hasn’t acted in a movie since then. Leto will soon begin filming Suicide Squad, set for an August 5, 2016 release date. To prepare for his role as The Joker, the actor is doing the exact opposite of what he did for Dallas Buyers Club: he is eating. A lot.
