8 Most Disturbing Facts About Jared Leto's Joker

8. He's Stayed In Character On Set

According to a number of different actors starring alongside Jared Leto in Suicide Squad, he's stayed in character throughout shooting. 

This type of method acting isn't really all that strange, but to stay in character as someone so utterly deranged and evil as The Joker can't be easy for either Leto or his co-stars, a fact pointed out by Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang) in a recent interview. 

He confirmed that since filming began, he hasn't once seen Leto out of character, meaning that he's obviously been left very isolated as he gives his all to transform himself into the iconic Batman villain.

This doesn't sound all that different to what Heath Ledger did for The Dark Knight when he locked himself in a hotel room and started keeping journals about what kind of despicable things his Joker would find amusing. Leto however has been spotted out and about with friends and still touring with his band, so he's not throwing himself into the role quite as extremely.

Even so, the fact that he's staying in character on set and creeping out his co-stars still shows a fairly extreme level of devotion...
