The Terry Richardson x Jared Leto snapshots have been taken in the aftermath of the actor's production of The Dallas Buyer's Club, a film about AIDS.
Leto will star alongside Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey in the blockbuster movie. Leto's commitment to his role and career is perceptible in Richardon's images. He appears emaciated, seen in his jagged cheek bones, thin upper body and sunken eyes. He has allegedly lost over 20 pounds while getting into character, and it is in this way that his shocking appearance is accounted for in this picture series.
In true Richardson style, little is done to gloss over Leto's slim state as he is clad only in laid back menswear and a mod pair of reading glasses.
