A while back we brought you the first pictures of Jared Leto playing an HIV-positive transvestite on the set of Dallas Buyer’s Club. After he ruined his kidneys gaining weight for that Mark David Chapman movie almost no one saw and the ones that did hated a few years back, I guess he figured he’d give this whole method acting thing another go. And now here he is posing for photographer to the stars.
Things required to do Terry Richardson’s job:
- A camera
- A klieg light
- A prisony-looking rape wall
- Largely inexplicable fame
Nothing against the guy, he’s obviously living the life, I just don’t get it. Did he get famous for other kinds of pictures before he started taking harshly-lit photographs of people standing in front of brick walls? I know I’m in front of a computer right now, but I refuse to look up this fact.

I started to look it up for you, Vince, but I got a little, uh… sidetracked with the Kate Upton photos. Sorry. I have to clean up now.
I believe he got his start doing mug shots for the L.A. County Jail. Not only did he develop his signature style there, he also met a lot of celebrities there.
I blame American Apparel and their skeevy ads.
He looks like he should be in the gay porn version of ‘The Machinist.’ Does he not have eyebrows? (Urge to kill: Growing, GROWING…fading….GROWING!!)
great comment, but now i cannot unsee…
(Grabs you buy the next, pulls open eyelids) You will watch!!! WATCH IT!
ahhh my next, it hurts!!!
yea ive never understood what makes him “legendary”. from everything ive read hes creepy and borderline rapey when it comes to many of his subjects. i dont even see anything unique or special about his framing/lighting. i feel like these are pics a serial killer takes. i guess its easy to get away with if ur white –throws race card gambit style–
I don’t know if it’s just ‘borderline’ rapey. Apparently, he regularly “requests” sexual favors from lesser-known models.
so all i need is a camera, a creepy brick wall, and 1 oppressive light and young naive girls will look at and/or touch my husband bulge? #swag
Jared Leto will definitely suck your dick. Frotcast Brendan, looking forward to your impression.
The only thing I could think of is that Terry is really cool about sharing his drugs.
His fame looks like the work of a massive trust fund and probably a little uncle touchy’s naked puzzle basement
I really doubt it had anything to do with a trust fund, since this was his mother. [guestofaguest.com]
I wonder who would win a Method Actor Royal Rumble.
oh HELL YES is this the greatest idea i’ve ever heard…DDL could transform into DDP using that hardcore method yoga and drop DDTs on anyone he wanted to….except for Mick Foley, the original method actor….DDL learned all he could from watching Mick play Cactus Jack, Dude Love, Mankind (and he was socko too) on top of sometime being Mick Foley….so man, we should really figure a real bracketed tournament out and vote for each matchup….at least half would be real wrestlers like Ultimate Warrior and Andy Kaufman
Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises would win if everybody goes standard international naked rules
He’s getting away with it and I can’t help but grudgingly respect people who do.
I agree, as long as by begrudgingly respect you meant insanely jealous of his life.
A friend of mine grew up with him. He’s been nailing 10′s since he was 13. Horrifying, but not shocking.
Terry Richardson probably sexually molested that too.
“Now scream at my ass, Jared!”
