42	!!Tropes & Trivia about his works:
43
44	* ChronicallyKilledActor: He tends to pick tragic or mean roles, so usually his character dies. Even a 30 Seconds to Mars video had Leto dying!
45	* DyeingForYourArt: He got fat to the point of contracting gout for ''Chapter 27'', lost weight and waxed all his body hair for ''Dallas Buyers Club'', and got seriously ripped for ''Suicide Squad''.
46	* MethodActing:
47	** He invoked it to a ''literally'' insane degree on the set of ''Suicide Squad'', where he sent Creator/MargotRobbie (Harley Quinn) a live rat, Creator/WillSmith a box of bullets, and of course, he sent the cast a lovely package containing condoms and anal beads, as well as ordering Jim Parrack, who plays Joker's henchman Johnny Frost, to fill bags with nine-inch nails (as in actual nails, not [[Music/NineInchNails the band]]). It went so far that the rest of the cast deliberately avoided him due to him harassing/annoying them so much. That said, he's pointed out after the fact that not all of this was true and that a lot of the "horror stories" were exaggerated out of proportion, even though he previously admitted to it. Margot Robbie ''did'' get a rat, though, but later gave it to Creator/GuillermoDelToro.
48	** He did it again during the filming of ''Morbius'', walking with a limp or using crutches like the character, even off-camera.
49	* OlderThanTheyLook: He was actually 44 when he was cast as [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker the Joker]] and 51 at time of the release of ''Film/{{Morbius\|2022}}''- in which the title character was in his late thirties at most.
50	* PrettyBoy: Slender with notable facial features; most of his characters cash in on it. He might get cast as a 20-something year old despite being in his 50s.
