Jared Leto

“I still have plenty of vices, but alcohol isn’t one of them. It’s probably just down to sleep and diet. If you travel long haul a lot or don’t sleep much, it’s not going to last very long, that’s for sure. I’m pretty healthy so I think that helps a lot. I’ve been that way for a long time – 20 solid years of eating vegetarian/vegan and taking care of myself. That probably helps the preservation process.”

Jared Leto, in an interview with UK GQ, on how he keeps his youthful figure, which was temporarily disrupted for the filming of Chapter 27 where he played John Lennon’s killer, Mark Chapman. Leto said he ate “giant pizzas and everything you know you’re not supposed to eat” to prepare for the role.
