Lost 24 pounds in five weeks. I was looking like Geoff Capes after the Christmas run.. and seeing as 40 is just around the corner it’s time to go all yoga and lentils… or who knows where it could all end.” Well, it should go without saying that he definitely made the right choice.

Unlike other stars who have been overweight, Jared Leto’s situation was different. Leto had gained a significant amount of weight while getting in character for a movie. However, Leto refused to let things linger for long, and once he was done having to on set, he decided to start working off the bounds.
