Jared is my new hero. His impeccable performance is reflection of how significant he finds the character to be. Only someone who's as passionate as he is can pull this off so magnificently. I applaud him.
I find it really interesting that Melisa, Jean-Marc, etc, and all the characters in the film refer to Rayon as 'him'/'he', yet Jared always refers to Rayon as 'her"/'she'. I think that says a lot.
+Michael Quindlen I don't mean in the film, I mean in situations like this, where the actors, writers, etc are talking about the film in a press conference style setting.
Watched the whole entire movie wondering when Jared Leto was gonna come in, then a the end looked at the IMD of the movie and my jaw dropped when I found out he was Rayon. What a performance he put in.
Jared's acting was out of this world! What a transformation from 30 Seconds to Mars to Rayon! Really??? Dude, you're beyond belief!!!! I love all your movies!!!! and of course, I'll see you in Northern Virginia on 13 August with Linkin Park! It's going to be the biggest madness!!!!!
It really depends on perspective. On one hand, trying to achieve something as you picture it isn't inherently a bad thing... But there's a fine line between dreams and delusions, and it isn't always easy to see where that line is drawn.
Jared, you are an amazing actor and your portrayal as "Rayon" was so convincing and I am sure you'll get an Oscar worthy award for your outstanding role ! You are the best !
His undeniably beautiful and loving heart was impossible not to love It made me think of my best friends. Jared was amazing. I wondered if Rayon was a real person in Ron's life.
This is a great peace of work, when I saw the movie there was no doubt in my mind Matthew and Jared would win the Oscar. Their performances are so raw and outstanding, well done to all for bring this movie to life.
I really loved his character too lol. I didn't even realize it was Jared. He's a great actor and not type casted whatsoever! He was also amazing in the movie that he played the guy who killed John Lennon. He was I recognizable in that too Very very talented.
method acting is in my personal opinion one of the most amazing things an actor can do or how an actor can work🙏🏻 next level acting!! Oscar totally deserved
I can't stop watching the scene when Rayon puts her arms on the doctor's shoulders, and pronounces that meaningful line... What colors! Jared is a genius. I try to imagine how ELSE he could have played the scene, changed his facial expression or made pauses, whatever... It seems to me all the takes (if made) were briliant and the director had a hard time to choose which one to settle on)). ... Oscar is deserved, indeed.
The reality is probably everyone - not just transgender, everybody is an investigator searching for you who really are or dream to be. The beauty of this film is that is open for interpretation across the board regardless of sexuality.
Misgendering a trans person is literally the worst thing you can do to trans people and it's a bit disappointing that the writer of all people is doing that
I think the main reason why Leto can't watch his own movies and especially not this one is that it would "hurt" to much. Sounds mollycoddling, I know. But if you're an actor and you want to be authentic and really not do superficial work you have to let the role speak and act for you, meaning you need to let yourself go and get deep into that person's story. Leto's total transformation to Rayon, that obviously takes a lot of strength and bravery. I can imagine that probably he thinks he wouldn't stand that another time watching the final result. When you watch somebody else on screen you get to know a character as an observer. Thats not the case here...When you see yourself on screen after months in which you were mainly focused on working out every single detail, its sort of like realising what you actually did. Such things are tough!
Hmm, I can't say I agree. My name is Kamilla, I'm a legal female and I just happen to be Transsexual. I don't "look for" my identity. Im living my identity. Everyday, 7 days a week,365 days a year in a 24/7 manner. This is who I am. And now I look for my future just like anyone else. Trans women or men are just people who "happen" to be Trans. But it never should define who we are. It's just a coincidence and nothing more. Be proud of your identity and live it 24/7. #OneLove
I feel like rayon is the polar opposite of ron, and putting that character in not only put an emphasis on the difference between ron who cleaned up and took care of himself and put himself first and rayon who would still do drugs, shared his medicine with people and sacrificed his life insurance for ron, i think the existence of rayon balances out the story and gives it more emotional depth.
im sorry.. it just every single time.. people call Rayon for HE i get a little angry... maybe its a danish thing.. but here, if a Man is a trans, or is transsexual, then its a she... just as a woman who is either trans or transsexual becomes a he.. And Rayon is transsexual so Rayon is a She... Or is it only a danish thing that we respect their wish of being the other sex?
I think Rayon is a combination of a lot of people that looks and acts just like that. But i don't know how many people are as venerable or needing love and affection as much as this character.
Everyone's heart here is in the right place. Sometimes you have to look past words and terms. Just remember that this movie humanized a transgendered person for people who have a hard time doing they in their own mind. So while they may not be perfectly politically correct, I believe that they wanted to portray a transgendered person in a positive light.
Katie White Settle down SJW. i don’t see how the term “transsexual” is offensive when the word trans means change therefore it would mean they’re changing their sex or gender which is what it is. By that logic, the term transgender should also be offensive it literally means the exact same thing
So why the body language? Mathew and Jared (sitting close but yet so far)...did they get along here or not? I've heard stories but no sure if they're necessarily true...what's the story in a nutshell? edit: like for they
I understand about transvestite, transsexual and transgender etc. It can be quiet confusing to people who are not around it all the time as in terms and person, Don't take it to heart we humans are still learning, shunning people for making a mistake is wrong there are much worst thing in the world. Education is the key.
But misgendering someone can make them feel suicidal?? Obviously physical violence and death is very very bad but at the same time mental and psychological things can be very problematic as we'll?
they misgendered their trans character and he said that being trans is a choice while romanticizing dysphoria. wow they obviously did not do nearly enough 'research'.
Leto said he has respect for "people who choose to live their life the way they dream it, rather than as it was handed to them." You can be transgendered and not necessarily act upon it, but that would be a terrible way to live, keeping something as important as your real gender a secret, you know?
Rocky Gems i understand where Jared is coming from but, i wish people who are not trans would stop saying that it's a choice. if that's the case, then it's a choice to be heterosexual.
He was so incredible in this film that it won him an Oscar. Then he plays the Joker and he's awful at it. He looks like a gangster ugh they need him to stay in roles he's good at such as this.
2 Tim. 3:1-5, Vs. 1 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. Vs. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Vs. 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those who are good, Vs. 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Vs. 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." Rom. 1:21 "Because that when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. ..... Vs. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. Vs. 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." These are our times, the latter days. They have perverted the true meaning of "Love thy enemy", to make Christians into non-discerning/ or non-judgmental (according to God's law), wimpy, guilt-ridden doormats for the people that God hates, to walk upon. It's really very sad.
Jared is my new hero. His impeccable performance is reflection of how significant he finds the character to be. Only someone who's as passionate as he is can pull this off so magnificently. I applaud him.
Jared earned an Oscar last night! Im so happy for him! He has so much talent and he deserved that Oscar!
"Live your life as you dream it, not as it is handed to you." That's a powerful message for all of us.
I find it really interesting that Melisa, Jean-Marc, etc, and all the characters in the film refer to Rayon as 'him'/'he', yet Jared always refers to Rayon as 'her"/'she'. I think that says a lot.
I think it was realistic based on the times.
+Michael Quindlen I don't mean in the film, I mean in situations like this, where the actors, writers, etc are talking about the film in a press conference style setting.
Well, because Rayon was born with male DNA, no matter how much makeup he puts on.
The fact that jared respected her pronounce makes me so happy
@@Vousie but she is a woman
Wow!! He became Rayon, he became David Chapman, he became the Joker... What an actor!
thats what they call RANGE
Marcos Villanustre and dude's in a pretty good band too.. So fuckin talented.
Yeah and he totally sucked as Joker an ruined a great character with it.
Kira K No, David Ayer ruined a great character by having him more of a pimp than a criminal mastermind
Jared Leto did a phenomenal job in portraying Rayon in the movie.
Watched the whole entire movie wondering when Jared Leto was gonna come in, then a the end looked at the IMD of the movie and my jaw dropped when I found out he was Rayon. What a performance he put in.
That's funny. My friend told me Panic Room was a favorite movie but was shocked when I told her Jared was in that movie.
The guy is a natural artist!
Jared's acting was out of this world! What a transformation from 30 Seconds to Mars to Rayon! Really??? Dude, you're beyond belief!!!! I love all your movies!!!! and of course, I'll see you in Northern Virginia on 13 August with Linkin Park! It's going to be the biggest madness!!!!!
***** yay for us leo's. mine is the 14th
Jared Leto's BEST role..fantastic acting and fantastic movie
Pip 1984 👍
fantastic insight: live your life as you dream it and not necessarily as it was handed to you.
Quite the quote, huh?
claire keesey was it a reference from somewhere like another movie or a book? or did it come from himself?
Just Googled it - seems like he came up with it.
It really depends on perspective. On one hand, trying to achieve something as you picture it isn't inherently a bad thing... But there's a fine line between dreams and delusions, and it isn't always easy to see where that line is drawn.
Beautiful way to put that..
Such a beautiful thing Jared Leto said ❤️
Jared, you are an amazing actor and your portrayal as "Rayon" was so convincing and I am sure you'll get an Oscar worthy award for your outstanding role ! You are the best !
His undeniably beautiful and loving heart was impossible not to love It made me think of my best friends. Jared was amazing. I wondered if Rayon was a real person in Ron's life.
I've just watched this film, these guys did an amazing job.
This is a great peace of work, when I saw the movie there was no doubt in my mind Matthew and Jared would win the Oscar. Their performances are so raw and outstanding, well done to all for bring this movie to life.
Jared was brilliant ! Not that the rest of the cast weren't good ... certainly they were really good! But ... you know ...
I really loved his character too lol. I didn't even realize it was Jared. He's a great actor and not type casted whatsoever! He was also amazing in the movie that he played the guy who killed John Lennon. He was I recognizable in that too Very very talented.
**unrecognizable
method acting is in my personal opinion one of the most amazing things an actor can do or how an actor can work🙏🏻 next level acting!! Oscar totally deserved
Always always the gentleman with a very kind heart 👏🏾👏🏾 I couldn’t see anyone else playing Rayon, pure beautiful genius. Thanks for sharing love 😍❤️🙏🏾
I watched this movie last year and just now realized it was Jared Leto wtf he did amazing
He did a fabulous job!
He's so great.
He won an actor award, just a couple of days ago:) yay Jared
true renaissance man right here
Finally, someone who understands me. :)
I can't stop watching the scene when Rayon puts her arms on the doctor's shoulders, and pronounces that meaningful line... What colors! Jared is a genius. I try to imagine how ELSE he could have played the scene, changed his facial expression or made pauses, whatever... It seems to me all the takes (if made) were briliant and the director had a hard time to choose which one to settle on)). ... Oscar is deserved, indeed.
The reality is probably everyone - not just transgender, everybody is an investigator searching for you who really are or dream to be. The beauty of this film is that is open for interpretation across the board regardless of sexuality.
This film looks amazing. I will definitely see it.
Well spoken Jared Thankyou
Jared Leto the best
I love the charater of Rayon! Growing up, I always felt I was in the wrong
body. I was born a girl, but have always identified as a boy.
negawut™ How rude....
Britney Jean relax bitch, i didn't mean it. just kidding hence the wink ;)
negawut™ Still not anywhere near humorous. Maybe you should grow the fuck up.
Toryn Folston bitch, what the fuck are you doing on youtube? go back to the kitchen.
Toryn's sounds like a girls name lmfao. Oh yeah, you must be a dude, gay dude. lulz
JARED why so pretty?!?
rayon was so awesome and its about love and being who you are.
Jared played the BEST role in this.
Misgendering a trans person is literally the worst thing you can do to trans people and it's a bit disappointing that the writer of all people is doing that
Yeah totally worse than killing them for being trans, eh? You remind me of girls who cry when you include them in a group of people you call 'guys'.
Yeah, that really upset me. I guess it must have been Jared entirely who put so much heart and soul into his beautiful character.
I think the main reason why Leto can't watch his own movies and especially not this one is that it would "hurt" to much. Sounds mollycoddling, I know. But if you're an actor and you want to be authentic and really not do superficial work you have to let the role speak and act for you, meaning you need to let yourself go and get deep into that person's story.

I thought Mathew was old when i saw him in this movie. He looks very young in this interview.
He looked old because he had to lose all that weight for the character. He's really quite athletic
Jarred was alway a bit Rayon. Excellent performance
Jared is perfect.
Loved this movie but sad too.I cried and laughed, got mad, and was real too me. Great Movie
I feel like rayon is the polar opposite of ron, and putting that character in not only put an emphasis on the difference between ron who cleaned up and took care of himself and put himself first and rayon who would still do drugs, shared his medicine with people and sacrificed his life insurance for ron, i think the existence of rayon balances out the story and gives it more emotional depth.
a beautiful movie.
To be a great actor, you must have strong empathy.
Even as rayon.. I still wud!
wonderful movie.
I wanna see it already!!!
i didn't even recognize him!
Perfect ❤
im sorry.. it just every single time.. people call Rayon for HE i get a little angry... maybe its a danish thing.. but here, if a Man is a trans, or is transsexual, then its a she... just as a woman who is either trans or transsexual becomes a he.. And Rayon is transsexual so Rayon is a She...
Or is it only a danish thing that we respect their wish of being the other sex?
Ian Davidsson whoa slap lidt af brormand! But you’re right. I too have a false image of myself and I’m a man. I don’t know what to do :(
In ths US it is also annoying to those of us who respect transgenders
What a genius
JaredLETTO😍😍😍😍😘
where did they go to eat after this I want to know
after the interview did they eat at the round table
I think Rayon is a combination of a lot of people that looks and acts just like that. But i don't know how many people are as venerable or needing love and affection as much as this character.
why is everybody except the interviewer and Jared using he pronouns when talking abt a character that is a transgender WOMAN?
It annoyed me too.. even the freaking writer, wtf? You create a character yet you can't understand how she would like to be called?
hiraeth fuck sake.
yeah it made me so angry as a Trans person. Another issue with Cis people writing for Trans people. This was not okay
absolutely
Very disappointing that the writer is misgendering her own character and that the interviewer is using the outdated and offensive "transsexuals"...
transsexual from transylvania?
takaditakadang Ah-hahahahahaha!
+Katie White Transexual makes it sound dirty. Where did the whole name come from anyway? Trans, cis, etc?
Everyone's heart here is in the right place. Sometimes you have to look past words and terms.

WOW nice 🙂🤔👌
So why the body language? Mathew and Jared (sitting close but yet so far)...did they get along here or not? I've heard stories but no sure if they're necessarily true...what's the story in a nutshell?
edit: like for they
he was good as a rayon
Why is she using "him" speaking about the Rayon character?
Wrong
He reminds me of Jefferee Star
This was a good movie. And it really brought the reality of AIDS home. Rayon was a perfect example of who was hit hardest by the demon AIDS.
furiesego omg! you have AIDS too?
+tootsie|troll®
wtf is wrong with u
i just misread her comment. i probably should start wearing reading glasses.
Tf
I think the character of Rayon was misgendered in the interview. Subtle transphobia much?
Why is she beautiful?
I understand about transvestite, transsexual and transgender etc. It can be quiet confusing to people who are not around it all the time as in terms and person, Don't take it to heart we humans are still learning, shunning people for making a mistake is wrong there are much worst thing in the world. Education is the key.
Paso Laisa Roldan y se mató de risa.
Sucks that Leto will be remembered for his Joker and Morbius and not this masterpiece of a performance :/
But misgendering someone can make them feel suicidal?? Obviously physical violence and death is very very bad but at the same time mental and psychological things can be very problematic as we'll?
😮
they misgendered their trans character and he said that being trans is a choice while romanticizing dysphoria. wow they obviously did not do nearly enough 'research'.

Rocky Gems i understand where Jared is coming from but, i wish people who are not trans would stop saying that it's a choice. if that's the case, then it's a choice to be heterosexual.
Jared's performance was great but imagine how much it would add to the movie seeing a real trans woman play Rayon?
WRONG.
now isn't this writer a hungry witch...who's selling me out wtf is this about..
So.... it's okay for Jared Leto but not Scarlett Johansson? Sounds like some folks have issues with women.
He was so incredible in this film that it won him an Oscar. Then he plays the Joker and he's awful at it. He looks like a gangster ugh they need him to stay in roles he's good at such as this.
Why didn't they just ask a female to play the part of Rayon🤨
Because the entire point of the charecter is that she's transgender?
the guy trying to become a girl. Ohhhh. Who was messing with him to make him take on such a project. His start was rejection. He proved himself crazy
Awareness of this horrible epidemic of boys trying to do girls and become girls
broken wtf does that mean lol I eat everyday went hungry a few times but I'm still alive wtf these people say anything for money...
And I am Gay too
:)

Very slow filim to start with, funny that govts ban things that have proven help with cancer etc....
This guy is so talented why promote the curse of homosexuality man geez sad
DarkCode You are a curse!
Rayon is a boy
Sofibusk The interviewer said "her" when referring to the character.
Stan Man because Rayon was a transsexual: it's politically correct
actually, rayon is 'she'. even though she is just a character, if she identifies as female, that's what she is.
phil lester that's what I said: 'she' and 'her' is the politically correct term
Stan has a lisp .... and likes big juicy bratwurst.
Jared is an amazing artist...... singer/actor
