How Did Jared Leto Get That Laugh For The Joker in SUICIDE SQUAD?
With Suicide Squad’s release day swiftly approaching, the media frenzy for the movie is going to pick up. This just happens to be one of those posts that is trying to keep Suicide Squad in the forefront of your mind.
The word around Hollywood is that Jerad Leto is the personification of Method acting. From extreme weight gain for one role to extreme weight loss for another, the man is fully committed to his craft.
Leto recently divulged another way he got into character for his role as The Joker during an interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box. Here is what he had to say about how he prepared for the role and how he came up with his Joker laugh, which we've heard in the trailers:
“I worked on the laugh walking around the streets of New York and Toronto, and I kinda would walk around the streets and see what laughs would get under people’s skin.
You know when you hear someone laugh at a restaurant? It’s a little jarring. I tried them out. And I kind of got to a place where I would laugh and people are always turning around like, ‘Who is this creepy guy behind me?'”
It seems like there has been a growing concern about the impact that this movie will have, especially with the recent disliking of Batman v Superman and the reshooting that has happened for Suicide Squad. People are concerned with how this movie will turn out. I say don't worry about it. The cast is strong and the trailers have been engaging. I have faith that, if nothing else, this will be a good popcorn flick.
Suicide Squad will hit theaters August 5th.
