Really selfless actors are ready to go to great lengths, in order to immerse themselves in the image of their hero as much as possible. American actor Jared Leto is no exception to this rule. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, the artist described how he was preparing to participate in the ambitious project "The Squad of Suicides".

It turns out that the film star "Requiem for a Dream" and "Mr. Nobody" spent some time in a psychiatric hospital, where he talked with doctors and the most violent patients, maniacs and sociopaths. What for? In order to understand as much as possible how it is to be a real psycho (with a diagnosis).

"For my hero, cruelty is music!" He just enjoys what makes people hurt. In order to understand how this happens, I met and talked with people who constantly deal with psychopaths for duty. I could not pass by the patients of the closed medical institutions themselves. I deliberately chose the most notorious sociopaths, who will not soon be released. I admit: I liked this part of the shooting process the most, - Mr. Leto told reporters.

It seems that Jared Leto great got used to the role:

"By itself, the role of the Joker literally intoxicated me, I realized that I live between two worlds and can do whatever I want," the actor admitted.

- I tried everything to cheer up the guys with whom we together represent a squad of suicides from comics. I needed dynamics, unexpected turns of the plot, I tried to break down barriers between us and get rid of conventions. The Joker does not pay attention to the limits of decency and what we call "personal space," said Leto.

In addition to the aforementioned "gifts", the actor presented his colleagues with other pleasant trifles: Margot Robbie received a live rat, Will Smith - cartridges. When Summer was not enough, he presented the entire crew with a whole pig carcass. Perhaps it was a hint of barbecue?
