Jared Leto has played a plethora of notable and iconic roles throughout his career. Starring in several of the classic movies, the actor is heavily into the process of method acting and has oftentimes, gone to extremes to portray the role diligently.
In a recent Twitter post, the actor went on to appreciate one of his underrated movies that failed at the box office. Although the film wasn’t a financial success, Jared Leto stated that the film essentially changed his life.
Jared Leto Names The Movie That Changed His Life
Although he had several great roles and films such as Fight Club and Requiem for a Dream, there was a movie that was almost forgotten. The movie was released in 2009 and wasn’t much of a financial success but it changed Leto’s life.
The actor starred in the role of Nemo in the 2009 movie titled Mr. Nobody which featured a great storyline. In a world where everyone is immortal, 118-year-old Nemo recounts life on Earth to a local reporter. Although the film had quite an interesting storyline, the film didn’t gain much success. This didn’t stop Jared Leto from claiming that it changed his life, as the actor took to his Twitter to talk about it.
“This movie changed my life. I feel so lucky to have worked with this cast, the director and the crew. There was so much love and support and pride on the set. We had the feeling we were a part of something really special. And I still do”.
The actor stated that he portrayed 120 different personalities during the span of the 2 hours and 18 minutes of runtime of the movie. This feat is quite impressive considering how James McAvoy had to only portray seven different personalities in M. Night Shyamalan’s Split. Although the actor stated that the movie changed his life, Jared Leto went into greater detail about how the movie changed him.
How Mr. Nobody Changed Jared Leto’s Life
Starring in the role that required Leto to portray 120 different personalities, the Suicide Squad actor talked about something which is known as the Butterfly effect. The simplified metaphor of the theory states that a butterfly flaps its wings and a hurricane may follow soon. In Jared Leto’s words on his Twitter post, small things have huge consequences.
“It’s a film about how even the smallest choices we make can have huge ramifications. What’s a decision you’ve made that could have led to a different life if you chose differently?”
Mr. Nobody received a rating of 7.7/10 on IMDB and 68% on Rotten Tomatoes. The 2009 movie is currently available to stream on Prime Video in the U.S.
