    How does this man still have a career, we’ve known he is a predator for so long. Like decades at least.

        More importantly, he’s box office poison.

        Which really does lend credibility to the idea that he either has some Epstein-style blackmail on some influential people in Hollywood and/or he’s still providing them with unsavory, or illegal, experiences.

        This is the genuinely such an agonizing flip side to it like if we are gonna employ a sex criminal at least get an actor who isnt total ass and ruins every movie he is in. Dude is allergic to emotion, wooden, and sucks to work with. It makes no sense. There are so many pervs in hollywood I know at least one of them has to be able to act better than this asshole

        He peaked as Jordan Catalano in My So-Called Life, an intellectually stunted, emotionally empty symbol of naive adolescent desire. For some reason, he was really able to sink into that role.

        I think he’s a repulsive person, but in my opinion he’s been electric in several roles, like Requiem and Panic Room.

        His performance, if you can even stand degrading other actors and actresses by using the term with his name attached to it, in Bladerunner 2049 was a look inside his brain. That was Jared in 2049, not some tech overlord he was pretending to be.

            Well, I’d hazard an alternative: I believe what the settlers did – after the murderers cleared the American population out of their new home – standing up and challenging the leadership, even, if necessary, forming a cohesive army of rebels to violently fight for rights they deemed at the time absolutely vital and worth such a barbaric and last-resort act as killing for, is something I appreciate. The mistake was her people letting the leadership bring the country down quicker than any grieving Middle-Eastern victim turned international activist.

              Ha! That’s rich. Americans are too lazy and self entitled to have an actual revolution. Half would spiral into existential crisis if the lights went out, and the other half would be politicizing why the lights were on in the first place.

    This dude and Russel Brand are the biggest “I’m not surprised in the least” that they have accusations against them. Always got creepy vibes from both of them

    I find it interesting the article ends saying there’s 9 accusations back in 2025. I’m curious if these ones are additional accusations or some of those 9

    In a report in Air Mail in June 2025, nine women accused Leto of engaging in inappropriate behavior over the years

    Back in my 4th year of college (2003-2004) one of the freshman girls I was friends with mentioned that when her younger sister (16 at that the time) actually met Leto at one point and blew him; said when he came it tasted like candy.

    Dudes a fucking creep

    I stopped watching any of his works since I found out he has a cult…

      To be fair, he “plays” a good creep. I don’t think he takes away from the movie, which is something, but I wish it didn’t give him employment.

        Maybe he just showed up on the set one day, stabbed a lady in front of a rolling camera, did a creepy monologue about having billions of children, and then they wrote him a part around that so they wouldn’t need to stop production while a murder investigation was carried out.

      I kinda feel the same way, but if you need someone to play a self obsessed megalomaniac with a god complex…

      And be really convincing…
