He also lived with real drug addicts on the streets. Meanwhile, he also allegedly damaged his liver while dropping weight for the part.While unhealthy physical transformations like that of Jared Leto are not uncommon in Hollywood, the star also made headlines due to his behavior during Suicide Squad’s production. It was reported that 50-year-old Leto had sent a live rat to Margot Robbie and a dead hog to Viola Davis. Meanwhile, Leto himself revealed that his co-star in the film, Will Smith, received used condoms and loose bullets from him.With such quirky takes on method acting, followed by the controversial allegations against him, Leto’s future roles might be hindered if the actor keeps indulging in such antics.
