Did you know? : Jared Leto’s Oscar is a filthy mess
Leto won the Oscar for best supporting actor at the 86th annual Academy awards earlier this year.
Jared Leto doesn’t care much for material things. At least, not for his Oscar, as the trophy has been handed out by the actor at multiple parties for people to hold and pose with. According to reports, Leto’s Oscar is full of scratches and bumps and as a result, is now a “filthy mess.”
“I damaged it. But then I came home and saw it had another nick on it. So it looks like someone else had fun with it, too. My Oscar is a filthy mess,” contactmusic.com. quoted the singor-actor as saying.
“Everybody was pawing that thing. I kind of was just passing it around at parties. A couple of times I lost sight of it and I thought, you know, if it goes away, it’s not meant to be mine. But it always seemed to find its way back to me,” he added.
The 42-year-old also added that he is getting a lot more opportunities in Hollywood following his Oscar win, but the coveted gold statue itself doesn’t mean that much to him.
