Jared Leto in drag for magazine cover
Life’s a drag for Jared Leto.
The usually stubbly actor sported a complete style transformation on the cover of the July issue of Candy magazine, wearing a cotton candy pink wig and glossy red lipstick.
The actor (41) channeled pop star Katy Perry in the drag look, flaunting big blue eyes with mile-long lashes. Celebrity photographer Terry Richardson snapped the photos for the cover.
Jared Leto.
Jared Leto, we never would’ve guessed it was you!
The versatile actor, who rose to fame in the mid 90′s, graces the cover of Candy magazine’s sixth issue and looks nothing like himself. In fact – he looks a whole lot like singer Katy Perry or even actress Zooey Deschanel, with those blunt bangs, huge blue eyes and long lashes.
Leto plays a transsexual with AIDS in the upcoming movie “The Dallas Buyers Club” alongside Matthew McConaughey. The 41-year-old actor lost an alarming amount of weight for the role, just like McConaughey famously did.
When he’s not acting, dressing in drag or tricking us into thinking he’s a wide-eyed beauty, Leto nowadays mainly focuses on his band 30 Seconds to Mars.
The 30 Seconds to Mars front man is unrecognizable in a lacy pink blouse, dramatic false eyelashes and a full face of make-up on the cover of Candy’s summer 2013 issue.
In the photo, the star poses with his mouth and eyes wide open, and he sticks his tongue out over his front teeth, while the cover line reads: “Oh, Jared Leto!”
The Candy shoot isn’t Leto’s first time in drag, he waxed off his body hair and plucked his eyebrows to play a transsexual in upcoming drama “The Dallas Buyers Club.”
