'The Dallas Buyers Club' will feature Jared Leto playing the role of a transsexual woman with AIDS in 1980s Texas. To justify his role, the 40-year-old actor had to starve for almost a month until he become reed thin. He even had to shave off his eyebrows, and is barely recognisable these days.
Forthcoming Hollywood movie 'The Dallas Buyers Club' will feature painfully thin stars Matthew McCounaughey and Jared Leto as AIDS patients.
