If the thought of Jared Leto in his tighy-whities makes you swoon, think again. These shots of Leto’s DeNiro-esque weight gain to play Lennon assassin Mark David Chapman in the indie Chapter 27 look like B roll from the gluttony scene in Se7en.
Massive, unhealthy weight gain or loss in the service of one’s acting is one of the most desperate pleas for Academy attention available. Unfortunately, Chapter 27 (co-starring Lindsay Lohan!) still lacks a theatrical distributor, and if its reception at Sundance was any indication, it’s unlikely to see any exposure outside of your local Netflix queue anytime soon.
Oh, and Jared: Can you ditch the douchebaggy eyeliner already? It doesn’t make us forget that you used to be a YM coverboy.
