8 Most Disturbing Facts About Jared Leto's Joker
2. ...And Gave The Rest Of His Co-Stars A Hog Carcass
It turns out that Leto sent each of his fellow cast members a letter in character, but also a video explaining why and apologising for the fact he couldn't be around them during early rehearsals.
He sent Will Smith (Deadshot) a rather ominous gift in the form of some bullets, and gave the rest of the actors who make up Task Force X a dead pig. That does actually sound like the kind of thing The Joker would do, but what a bizarre way to greet the other actors working on the movie.
Leto did however also include a video of himself in character as The Joker, and it's been said that it literally blew them all away.
The simple fact that he wouldn't meet with the cast and decided to send them such bizarre and borderline disgusting presents offers surely some sort of indication about how he's approaching the role. It's definitely rare to hear an actor going to these sorts of lengths, and if this behaviour is any indication, Leto's Joker is going to be a very unique and very deranged!
