Jared Leto Showed Up To The 2023 Met Gala Dressed As A Giant Cat!
Although most people would expect cat-lover Taylor Swift to show up to the 2023 Met Gala inside a fuzzy cat costume, it was actually “Dallas Buyers Club” actor Jared Leto underneath the fuzzy white costume, which most certainly turned heads!
It seems that this might have been the first time that Salma Hayek and Jared Leto were spotted together since they wrapped filming of “House of Gucci” in Italy approximately two years ago, as they were spotted in several photographs together. Although critics detested most of the accents in the film, especially Jared Leto’s he defended his accent in an interview shortly after the film was released.
In an interview with The Wrap shortly after “House of Gucci” hit theaters, the “Moribus” star explains that he approached his accent by looking at it as “just a series of mistakes.”
“An accent is just a series of mistakes. You learn how to say a word, and maybe you don’t say it ‘correctly,’ whatever that means, but it’s just a series of habits,” he said at the time. “It’s the way your mouth makes shapes. Everyone learns theirs differently.”
“House Of Gucci” is now available to stream from Paramount+ and available to rent and purchase from video on demand.
