“To tell you the truth, I was more excited than nervous.”says Jared Leto on the microphone from the TODAY website. “But to be honest, it was very, very hard. Much harder than I imagined. It requires a lot of endurance and resistance, not to mention the walls were very sharp.”
But why did the interpreter of the Joker in Suicide Squad, who will soon play Karl Lagerfeld on screen, climb the famous New York skyscraper, almost 400 meters high?
First to realize a long-held dream, but also to promote the next world tour of his rock band Thirty Seconds to Marswhich will take place from March to September 2024 with a visit to the Accor Arena in Paris on May 21.
