Jared Leto is known for drastically changing his appearance for movie roles and his look for the upcoming “Dallas Buyers Club” is no exception. The actor waxed his body – including his eyebrows – and lost an almost unhealthy amount of weight to play a transsexual character with AIDS.
The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman, 41, plays a transexual woman in the AIDS-centric movie, alongside Matthew McConaughey. For his role in The Dallas Buyers Club, Jared sported a different drag look and lost an alarming amount of weight, just like Matthew famously did.
“Your body goes through weird stages,” Jared admitted to Vulture in November 2012. “Sometimes it’s hard to hold on to water. But for me, it’s not about the most weight I can lose, it’s more to represent the character. I’m focused on what it means to be a transsexual woman.”
Along with dropping weight, Jared also transformed his body by waxing his legs and plucking his eyebrows, which he hopes will actually bring him closer to a “meditative state.”
Previous cover models for Candy include Chloe Sevigny, James Franco, and Tilda Swinton.
