Jared Leto Is Hitting the Gym to Prepare for ‘Tron 3’

From Men's Health

Following a silent retreat which sheltered him from news of the global pandemic, and getting "chased out of the mountains" by smoke and ash from the California wildfires, movie star Jared Leto is back in familiar territory: the gym. In his latest selfie, posted to Instagram, Leto looks jacked—and it's down to the "Tron workout," apparently.

The actor revealed back in August that he would be joining the cult sci-fi franchise, tweeting: "I'm struck with such gratitude for the opportunity to bring this movie to life, especially as both the original video game and the film affected me so deeply as a young child. The fact that I get to be a part of this new chapter is mind-blowing."

Similarly to other actors like Christian Bale, Leto is known for undergoing dramatic physical transformations as part of his process for getting into character. While little is known about who he'll be playing in Tron 3—other than that he might be called "Ares"—it's not surprising that he's getting ripped for the role. That's par for the course with blockbusters. And you don't name a character after the god of war unless he's going to be in fighting shape.

This latest Instagram post also continues another storied Leto tradition: unprompted thirst traps. He's fond of sharing pics of his defined six-pack abs with his Instagram followers, as well as putting up generic "good vibes" posts accompanied by a shot of his pecs. If Jordan Catalano were real, and living in the age of social media, it's exactly the kind of content you'd expect to see him posting.

And hey, no judgments here. But if Leto could get to work on another 30 Seconds to Mars album between thot shots, that would be great.
