Chubby Jared Leto leaving a Pre-Oscar party in Beverly Hills on March 3, 2006

"Jared is currently on a fast in order to lose weight for 30 Seconds to Mars' first headlining tour "Forever Night Never Day", which begins on Tuesday. He hasn't had anything but lemon water since February 23 and has lost 12 pounds, according to him. Only 50 more to go! [I guess I should note that YES, I realize Jared put on this weight to play Mark David Chapman. I give him props for doing so, just like I gave him props for losing 25 pounds to play Harry Goldfarb in Requiem for a Dream. Still doesn't change the fact that it's not everyday you see an overweight Jared.]" Source
