Jared Leto, the acclaimed actor known for his intense method acting, decided to take a different approach for his latest role in the film “Little Things.” Leto’s method acting reputation includes immersing himself fully into his characters even off-screen, but this time he opted for a more relaxed approach. In an interview, Leto revealed that his character in the film didn’t require such extreme preparation, allowing him to break away from his usual intense method acting techniques. This change of approach demonstrates Leto’s versatility as an actor and willingness to adapt to different roles..
In an interview with USA Today, Denzel Washington spoke about his new film Little Things, which he stars in with Jared Leto. According to Washington, Leto didn’t attempt any of his method acting antics on the set of Little Things, which gained infamy when he was promoting Suicide Squad in 2016.
Jared Leto’s Method Acting History
While filming Suicide Squad, Leto stayed in character while on set and sent his co-stars some creepy gifts, including a dead rat and a pig’s body. He also insisted on walking around blind while working on Blade Runner 2049.

Washington spoke candidly about his dislike for antics like that, saying that he would have paid Leto a visit if he tried to pull anything similar on him. He said the pair stayed away from each other, which helped create tension on set when the two did meet in character.
Strangely enough, it would seem that Washington himself actually indulged in bit of method acting. He said: “I’d follow him around. I was outside of his apartment sometimes and he didn’t know. I won’t say anything more about it. I’ll put it this way, he didn’t know.” Obviously, this was done because Washington’s character is a deputy sheriff who is investigating Leto’s Albert Sparma, and helped propel the antagonism needed for the screen, but it’s still a little disconcerting – no?
Little Things will be released January 29, 2021, in theatres and HBO Max.
