The Joker’s on Jared Leto…
It appears the 44-year-old part-Spanish actor/singer’s role as The Joker in the highly anticipated Suicide Squad has taken a hold of him.
While the tales of Leto’s unhinged, bizarre behavior on the Suicide Squad set have become the stuff of legend, the Oscar-winning actor is having a hard time stepping out of the iconic bad boy persona, as evidenced by his trickster appearance on The Tonight Show on Monday night.
“The Joker is a big giver of gifts,” Leto explained to host Jimmy Fallon while seated on the couch and holding a small black box with a big red ribbon on it. “Have you guys heard about this? And he was thinking of you and wanted to pass off this gift especially for you.”
Fallon was suspicious, noting that he’d read and heard about things The Joker has done like gifting rats, so he approached the box with great caution. Spoiler alert: Jimmy did not like his present.
