Why Jared Leto climbed the Empire State Building

“The building is a testament to all the things that can be done in the world if we put our minds to it, which is largely the inspiration behind our most recent album, “It’s the End of the World But It’s a Beautiful Day‘”, the actor and singer stated in a press release Jared Leto.

On Thursday of this week, the protagonist of “Dallas Buyers Club” and “Requiem for a Dream” climbed to Empire State Building, becoming the first to do so legally. According to some media, the feat carried out by the artist is due to the upcoming tour that his musical group will perform. Thirty Seconds to Mars, where Leto serves as vocalist. “I have always been fascinated with this incredible milestone since I was a child,” said the singer through the production company. Live Nation.

It is not the first time that the artist has faced these reckless actions. In the past he has scaled a hotel wall in Berlin without a harness and jumped on bungee on the stage of his concert in front of thousands of people. After the feat, an NBC reporter asked him where his next climb would be. Leto did not hesitate to answer: “To bed. “Straight to bed.”

The next world tour Thirty Seconds to Mars will bring them back to Argentina. Within the line up of Lollapalooza 2024the band of reminiscences ““emo” which had its musical breakthrough more than 20 years ago, along with emblematic bands of that alternative rock style such as Good Charlotte and My Chemical Romancewill play again in Buenos Aires.

Regarding the publicity event that Leto carried out by climbing the most iconic building in New York, The Guardian portal used three hypotheses to explain the actor’s eccentricity. “Option one: Over the years, Leto has gained notoriety for indulging in the nastier quirks of method acting. So the obvious reason to scale the Empire State Building is that he is going to interpret king kong in an upcoming Oscar-worthy drama called “Monkey Trauma” or something like that,” the reporter described, with great sarcasm, Stuart Heritage to the British environment.

“Option two: Everyone knows that the latest movie “Mission Impossible” It did not have the expected success in theaters. Perhaps this stunt is Leto’s way of showing Hollywood that he is the true successor to Tom Cruise and that, as such, deserves a role in the next sequel to the saga. However, hopefully this is not true, due to the fact that it is easily the worst idea of ​​all time,” shot the UK journalist.

Finally, Heritage relies on a third option as a solution to the puzzle. “Leto is only doing this to get attention. “He climbed the Empire State Building because he starts to get scared if people don’t look at him for a while,” concluded the Guardian editor. The answer will probably never be known, but the truth is that the sixth album by the Thirty Seconds to Mars, “It’s the End of the World But It’s a Beautiful Day”has already been launched on the market.
