Suicide Squad: 6 Things You Missed About Jared Leto's Joker

6. He's The Most Muscular Joker Yet

It hasn't been emphasised or made particularly apparent in the marketing materials thus far, but Leto's Joker is - for all intents and purposes - a very muscular guy indeed. That is, at least compared to the majority of Joker incarnations, Leto is noticeably more stacked. Put next to former Joker actors such as Jack Nicholson (kind of schlubbly) and Heath Ledger (adopting a regular build), he looks like John Cena! Okay, that's a little hyperbolic, but you get the idea: he's lean, but he's bulked as hell. So what evidence is there, aside from the occasional flashes of his body in the latest Suicide Squad trailer, that this particular Joker is going to be built like a brick sh*thouse? Well... "I€™m trying to gain a lot of weight," he said back in February during an interview. "It means I have to eat every couple of hours and I€™m terrible at eating a lot.€ As good a clue as any. Leto also posted a picture on his Instagram account a couple of months back of his Joker-prepped body (seen above), further pushing the idea that his take on the character isn't anywhere close to the gangly Clown Prince that we've all come to expect. He's going to be the kind of Joker who can not only take a punch, but one who can throw one, too.
