Jared Leto’s adventurous sense of style has made him a Met Gala legend.
No doubt many fashion fans are hoping that Jared will wow the industry again with one of his daring couture looks at tonight’s star-studded fundraiser.
Unfortunately, it sounds like these people will be disappointed this year.
Jared Leto will NOT be attending the 2024 Met Gala
In a recent interview with E! News, Jared revealed that he will be forced to skip this year’s Met Gala.
The reason? Well, in addition to his work as an actor, Jared is the frontman of the band 30 Seconds to Mars.
The popular rock group is currently on tour for the first time in a long time. And Jared’s busy concert schedule will prevent him from hitting the red carpet at this year’s gala.
“Back on the road,” Jared told the outlet. “It’s been five years.”
Jared added that even though he won’t be in attendance, he’ll be keeping an eye on the event to see what memorable looks his celebrity friends rock.
“I’ll be there in spirit with my head and my cat wishing everyone a nice night,” he told E!
Yes, Jared has pulled off some memorable looks at past Met Galas, including a giant cat costume and a fake second head.
It goes without saying that his presence at this year’s fundraiser will be sorely missed.
But we can’t blame him for missing out. At least the man has one much on his plate!
Jared is a busy multi-hyphenator
In addition to his tours, Jared is also currently busy filming Tron: Ares.
He noted to E! that the experience of performing live and that of shooting a big-budget sci-fi film couldn’t be more different.
“Honestly, it’s very strange because the shows are about absolute freedom,” Jared said, “and acting is all about control.”
“It’s cool to do both,” he continued. “I’ve never really done it at exactly the same time. It’s pretty intense. It will be an interesting experience.”
Jared added that although he performs to larger audiences these days, his passion for music has remained unchanged since the band’s formation in 1998.
“The audience has grown,” he said, noting that there is “so much passion” in his band’s shows.
Jared isn’t the only celebrity skipping this year’s festivities.
In fact, his former rival Taylor Swift is also sitting out here.
But we’re sure all the absent A-listers will be watching closely to see who will have the most daring fit this year!
