Gay jared leto
From“American Psycho ” to “The Dallas Buyers Club,” Jared Leto has received wonderful acclaim for his unconventional taste in movie roles. Unfortunately, the Oscar winner doesn’t think an openly gay actor would hold the same opportunity to take those chances.
Leto, 44, told GQ Design that he still thinks an actor’s sexuality directly impacts his or her chances of Hollywood accomplishment, even though he wishes it were different.
“I definitely don’t think a gay leading man would have the same opportunities as a straight foremost man,” he said. “I don’t know if that’s offensive or not, but that’s my thought right now. It shouldn’t be that way.”
The “Suicide Squad” star went on to note that he believed that an openly lgbtq+ actor’s opportunities in Hollywood are about the equal as they are for any other minority organization.
“I think that this is still a very conservative business,” he told GQ Style.
Leto has been more open to exploring sexuality and gender identity on the massive screen when compared to many of his contemporaries. His turn as Rayon, a transgender woman, in “The Dallas Buyers Club” won him a 2014 Academy Award, even if some trans activists and critics were incensed by the
Jared Leto: Hollywood is not ready for gay leading men
Jared Leto has spoken out about the “very conservative” clip industry, stating that gay leading men are still hugely limited with function they are offered.
In an interview with GQ magazine, the actor explained the limitations he had witnessed imposed on gay actors by the industry. “I definitely don’t believe a gay head man would possess the same opportunities as a unbent leading man,” observed Leto. “I don't know if that's offensive or not, but that’s my thought right now. It shouldn't be that way.”
He added: “This is still a very conservative business.”
The actor, who’s starred in the likes of Suicide Squad, Dallas Buyers Club and American Psycho, also weighed in on the concept of contemporary masculinity and what it means to him. “We’re in an interesting period right now where people are exploring all kinds of different ideas of indentity, not just masculinity or femininity...for myself, I own never had a specific idea of masculinity. I consider it’s okay just to be yourself and whatever that entails. You grasp, I’ve certainly never felt required to present myself in a certain way.”
Back in 2014, Leto’s casting as a t

Actually that’s one of my favorite interviews with him. It’s from 2004, just before Alexander was due out. Jared was still reliant on movie roles, financially. He was also creature hounded with homosexual rumors at the time and trying hard to utter enough without saying it all.
He actually says: If I saw a gentleman and I was attracted…I would probably follow through with it. Of course, that’s easy for me to state now. If it happened, maybe it would be a confusing and complex thing, considering the world that we live in.
The very notion that he, up until this point in the industry and push has only been identified as a straight male, in his mid 30s, is aware enough to describe that very intense, spot-on, terrifying feeling people who are struggling with coming to terms with their sexuality feel - says enough.
Because it’s not the fact that he mentions coming to terms with it internally as entity confusing or complex, or that he is turned off by the thought of being with
Jared Leto Doesn't Mind Being Called "Queer," Slams the South as "Oppressive"
That differentness is one of the reasons the Leto brothers' band, 30 Seconds to Mars, has attracted such a huge LGBT fan base.
"I got a note from a kid yesterday," Jared said. "We were signing a thousand CDs after a show. If you looked at him, he looked like any young kid maybe in twelfth grade or eleventh grade who'd be on the baseball team or something. A nice looking kid. He handed me a note and it said, 'I just want to say thanks so much for the harmony. It's helped me in many ways–especially with coming out this year to my family.'"
And to think the Letos were born in the not-always LGBT-friendly south.
"We escaped early on," Jared said. "It's very oppressive."
He further explained, "We would go back for the summers and stay with our grandmother, though. So the culture was always there that we returned to. We moved around every couple of years growing up. Way up to north Massachusetts. Everywhere. But no matter where we were it was a very creative environment around artists. That is obviously
