London - Jared Leto “didn't eat” to lose 15kg for a film role.
The 30 Seconds To Mars frontman dropped down to 52kg alongside his co-star Matthew McConaughey, who lost 18kg, to play a transsexual with Aids in The Dallas Buyers Club, and admitted it left him feeling very fragile.
The 41-year-old rocker told EOnline.com: “I just basically didn't eat. I ate very little.
“I had done similar things with weight, but this was different, I think the role demanded that commitment... It was about how does that effect how I walk, how I talked, who I am, how I feel. You know, you feel very fragile and delicate and unsafe.”
The singer and actor admitted some of his family and friends were shocked by his dramatic weight loss, as they were not aware he was doing the movie.
He explained: “It's not a great thing to see. If you run into people or see family who don't know what you're doing, they think that you're sick.”
Like Matthew, Jared has slowly been regaining weight since they finished filming the movie. - Bang Showbiz
